Focal Components...

I'm probably buying Focal Polyglass 165 components next month... (75 RMS)
now, this is my question...

I ordered a JBL 180.2 amp (Output 4 Ohms: 90W x 2)
Do u think thats a good amp for those components???
I mean.. 90W x 2 and the components are rated 75RMS .. is that safe???

Im also thinking about Focal 6x9.. how good are they?? Should I buy Focal or infinity rears??

The 6x9's are gonna be powered by a 4 channel Pioneer amp 70 x 2 in bridged mode...



thanks!

you won't hurt your speakers with that amount of overpowering. You'll only gain headroom witch is a very good thing.
