I am using these speakers for my front and rear speakers in my 2003 ford focus. What amplifier should I get to maximize my sound quality?

Instead of an amp I would change your current radio to any modern pioneer. It will provide more than enough juice to these speakers. Cheaper than an amp, easier too, and you get the features of a new radio.

your factory radio should be plenty of power to run these. i have 2 fords a 2013 f150 and a 2007 f250 and i dont need an amp to run them. they sound great with out it. i do have a subwoofer in both trucks with amps for just the subs.and it sounds fine.

I am using Dynaudio Focus 380 as Main speaker and Focus 210 C as a Center. Rear Speaker ELAC BS 203.2. The set-up works great.

In my opinion these are best used as rears in a 5.1. Try the B652 or micca speakers for a cheap stereo set up.

an amp will make these speakers sound better, but really they have low power ratings (RMS) and are pretty efficient. Hence they should work fine with any aftermarket head unit. If you really need to have some extra power any good quality 4 channel amplifier (Alpine, Soundstream, Rockford Fostgate, etc) should suffice as these speakers are easy to drive. For example the Rockford Fosgate R250X4 Prime is an excellent budget choice.

I currently use only my Pioneer head unit. They sound ok. Keep in mind, having an amp does provide a cleaner sound and better control over power to your speakers. I will however be replacing these speakers with Kickers that provide better mid bass response. The renegades are ok entry level speakers. Just not enough mid bass for my taste.

Get a seperate amp. If my stock one was a 2/10, after speakers and a head unit id rate it a 4/10. But the amp jumped it to 8.5/10. AMP is a HUGE difference

It depends on your vehicle and whether the speakers fit your car. Consult Crutchfield.com for fit of your vehicle. As for the sound, these speakers are really good. They handle all different ranges of any EQ....just not real heavy on the lows. I'm real satisfied with their sound quality overall.

To get the most out of those speakers I would use this amp, Rockford Fosgate R300X4, in bridged mode. Meaning you bridge the front two channels together and the rear two channels together to get a 2 channel output. I use this amp to drive a pair of Focal 165 AS separates. Its almost 170 watts per channel.

Same here, I have them as front speakers. Rear will probably do great as well.

any amplifier producing 50-100 watts should be plenty i use 160 watts per channel but dont use full power on these sweet little speakers

The best amp wattage would be right around 3200 cause they peek at 1600 each speaker. I made the mistake of only getting a 1800 watt kenwood which is a good amp just not enough power. No matter what they will bump though

Any high power amp will do. It all depends on your application, full range or low range these speakers deliver great sound and have excellent bass.

You can run them from the factory head unit if that is what you are asking. Of course $250 of external amps would make them sound better.

What speakers would be best ? and i have a 3 ohm system on a honda goldwing 2002 year . 4 or 4 1/2 size .

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

Not really required but a good amplifier will help deliver the most from these speakers. The amp will provide clarity to each channel and define the sound quality, best answer... Use an amp for the best quality sound from these capable speakers.

Depends on if ur cars factory speakers are full range speakers if they arent they will be a decent upgrade. The issue i had with them was that they are not 100 rms and burned them pretty quick with my voice amp. So if you buy them just hook them up to your head unit and u should be ok.
