Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Focal FPP 4100 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Focal Power Performance (FPP) amplifiers give your music the clean, powerful boost it needs to sound its best. Their ultra-high frequency response reproduces all the harmonics and overtones that make vocals and instruments sound natural.4-channel versatilityYou can use FPP 4100 4-channel amp to drive two sets of speakers with 75 watts RMS each, or you can bridge it to 2-channel mode to send up to 240 watts RMS each to a pair of subs for high-quality bass fill. In 3-channel mode, you can bridge the rear channels to power a sub with 240 watts, while still driving your front speakers with 75 watts each. Whatever role this amp plays, Focal power will give you superior performance for your system.Superior designThe FPP 4100 sports a heavy aluminum chassis that disperses heat efficiently, so it runs cool even when you're pushing your system hard. This FPP amp also includes high-level inputs with signal-sensing, so you can hook one up to any receiver — even a factory stereo — without needing a separate turn-on lead. Focal includes a remote control that allows you to control your bass from the front seat.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Overview: The Focal Power Performance series amplifiers feature a class-AB design for excellent sound quality. The aluminum chassis efficiently dissipates heat to protect the amp from thermal overload. The compact size makes the amp easier to install in tight places. The front-mounted connections and top-mounted controls are easily accessible for a clean installation. CEA-2006 Compliant: CEA-2006 is a new system of testing and measurement methods for mobile audio amplifiers. This voluntary standard advocates a uniform method for determining an amplifier's RMS power output and signal-to-noise ratio. The criteria for measuring power uses a DC input voltage of 14.4 volts and the RMS power output is measured into a 4-ohm load, with 1% or less Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) plus noise, and at a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (for full range amplifiers). Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms. CEA-2006 allows consumers to compare car amplifiers and receivers on an equal basis. Following the CEA-2006 criteria, the FPP 4100 is rated at 75 Watts RMS x 4 channels with an 80dBA signal to noise ratio. 2-Ohm Stable: When powering four speakers the amplifier is stable down to 2-ohms. The amplifier is rated at 140 Watts RMS x 4 channels in 2 ohms. Bridgeable: Either half (channels 1-2 and/or channels 3-4) of the FPP 4100 can be bridged to one channel. If both sides are bridged, the power output is 240 Watts x 2-channels into 4 ohms. Top-mounted Controls: The amplifier has controls conveniently mounted on the top panel under a removable cover. The controls include: Gain Controls: independent rotary controls for channels 1-2 and channels 3-4; continuously variable from 0.2 volts to 5.0 volts for the line level inputs and 0.4 volts to 9.0 volts for the speaker level inputs Crossover Switches: independent 3-way switches for channels 1-2 and channels 3-4; select the crossover operation as High-pass, Full-range, or Low-Pass Frequency: independent rotary controls for channels 1-2 and channels 3-4; the crossover points are continuously variable from 50 Hz to 150 Hz; the slope is 12 dB/octave Front-mounted Terminals: The FPP 4100 has all of its connections on the front of the amplifier for a clean installation. The terminals include: Speaker Outputs: four pair of set-screw terminals for connecting speakers; they accept up to 10-gauge wire; tightened/loosened with the supplied 2mm Allen wrench External Remote: RJ-14 jack for use with the included external remote control; the external remote controls the output level of channels 3 and 4 Line Inputs: Left and right channel 1-2 and left and right channel 3-4 RCA jacks for the input signal from the head unit Hi Level Inputs: two 4-pin Molex jacks for use with the supplied speaker level input harnesses Fader: when only one set of inputs is used (channels 1-2 and not channels 3-4), engaging the fader button sends those inputs to channels 3-4 in addition to channels 1-2 Fuses: the amp is protected by two 25-amp ATO-type fuses; spare fuses are included with the amplifier Power: two set-screw terminals for connecting the power and ground cables; they can accept up to 3-gauge wire; a 4-gauge wiring kit is recommended for this amp; tightened/loosened with the supplied 3mm Allen wrench Remote: set screw terminal for the remote turn-on lead; will accept up to 7-gauge wire; tightened/loosened with the supplied 3mm Allen wrench External Remote Control: The amp has an RJ-14 jack for use with the included external wired remote control. The amplifier also includes a 15' cable to connect the remote to the amplifier. This remote allows you to adjust the output level of channels 3-4 from your listening position. The remote features a rotary knob and a power LED that illuminates when the amplifier is powered on. The remote has two screw holes and can be mounted under the dash (mounting screws not included). The wired remote dimensions are: Width: 1-5/8" Height: 1" Depth: 1-3/4" (2-3/8" including knob and wiring) Auto Power On: When using the speaker level inputs, the Auto Power On circuit senses an input signal and turns the amp on automatically. This feature makes it easier to add an amplifier to a factory radio or to a receiver with no preamp outputs. Protection Circuitry: The FPP amplifiers employ four protection circuits: short circuit, thermal overload, over voltage, and polarity reversal.

Excellent amplifier. I have been looking for a crisp, clean amplifier for my Z28 convertible and was recommended this unit by the Crutchfield advisor. Let me tell you.....This is awesome!!!!!! It makes my Focal speakers shine. The high are exceptional but not too bright, the mid-bass is fantastic. I am extremely impressed with this amp....You will be too. Pros: Sound quality Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 High quality Written By Matt, Milwaukee, WI on Saturday, January 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I actually ended up returning the whole system as I was not satisfied by the sound quality and performance output. Because there are so many other components and factors, I am not sure of this amp was a contributing factor to the failure or not. So I am not sure what "star" rating to give it. It could have been many other things. I researched and tuned the system for a full week. Even though I spent a lot of money thinking I would get an extremely great sounding audio system, It did not sound all that much better than the factory bose system. At least not for what I paid. Pros: seems very well built and high quality 1 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Music is crisp and well defined with power to spare. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 SQ king, cannot beat it for the money! Written By DerekF, Coeburn, VA on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 If you are reading this, you are on the right track. Crutchfield has this amp specified with 75x4 at 4 while the box and manual rate the minimum power at 90x4 at 4. This amp is aimed to please anyone with SQ in mind and at 240 x 2 at 2, you even have enough power to run two decent size woofers. The frequency response from 80 hz+ on my Focal's is INCREDIBLE. I have owned quite a few amps in my day and this is HANDS DOWN the best 4-channel amp I have ever heard. The crossover and filters are amazing to only have a 12db/octave. All my frequencies slowly roll off and sound much more like 24db/octave. Moreover, the HPF and LPF are fairly sensitive, but once you get it tuned correctly, WOW. The way this amp brings frequencies together makes you feel like you are in a recording studio. You won't beat this amp for the money, Guarnteed!! Pros: Sound Quality is unbelievable, runs moderately cool compared to most AB class amps, great power. Cons: None really, just wish it had 24db/oct to help out with the slopes. 35 out of 37 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Berkeley: A Centenary Tribute
Helios (Hyperion's budget label) — Archive ServiceCDH55135
Movement 1: Allegro moderato
Movement 2: Lento
Movement 3: Allegro
The slow movement opens with the spotlight on the strings. A fugato builds to a passionate climax, only for the clarinet and horn to enter in duet with their own more florid material. The fugato returns, the timing of the string entries halved to one bar's distance to provide time to develop the wind and string ideas in harness.
The finale has the shape and nature of a rondo. Whereas in the first movement it was the wind instruments that took the lead, here it is the strings that initiate the melodic impetus and changes of mood. Indeed, it is the remarkable variety of texture obtained from the strings that gives light and shade to the movement. A coda, in which the metre alternates between 5/8 and 3/4, closes the work in fine, rousing style.

Etsy Decorations to Buy This Season & Use Every Year
I love a good DIY as much as the next crafty lady, but sometimes there just isn't time. This is especially true if Ann's off golfing, and I'm the last line of defense before our first party guest rings the doorbell at 8pm. A party is like the world's largest ball of twine; it can't throw itself. Help is appreciated.
Enter the good folks who sell on Etsy. Collectively they make beautiful, well-made items that you can bring out year after year.
Be forewarned: There will be garland. Lots and lots of garland.
1. Autumn Harvest Garland from Amanda Hofmann Designs
2. Felted Acorns from Shpilka Felt
3. Hand Knit Pumpkins from Luna Cab Co.
4. Vintage Paper Garland from Mary May
5. Origami Paper Ball from Fiber Store
6. White Ceramic Pumpkin from D Krueger Botanic Art
7. Autumn Wreath from the Baker's Daughter
8. Mustard Pom Pom Flowers from Steph Loves Ben
9. Hand Crocheted Doily from Tabachin
10. Autumn Cake Decoration from A Fete Beckons

What a great group of ladies! I have a garland filled Etsy store also!
There is a line of vintage Victorian looking gift/home goods items by Wendy Addison I always see at Tinsel Trading in NYC. They have great fall items in the store now. Leaf sprays and garlands made from German glass glitter, and it's all hand made. Great stuff!
I browsed Etsy during one sleepless night recently and I found adorable Christmas ornaments. The vendor's primary website is http://www.wildapples.com and I ordered a bunch of his silhouettes (2D carved out from wood). I love the moose, the bear and the owl but all are lovely.
I already have a number of similar ornaments so they will go nicely together. They are only $1.50 a piece and you can used them either on the Christmas or as gift tags.
No affiliation, just a happy customer.

Protect your bike from thieving blockheads.
The Yakima Blockhead is an instant bike mount that will bolt to any flat surface on pickups, RVs, and boats (mounting hardware not included). The durable and corrosion resistant Blockhead holds one bike, and comes with a beefy 9mm non-locking skewer. Padding protects your truck's finish. **For Locking Blockhead, see YAK0034 – includes SKS cores & keys.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you need something totally basic to get your bike from point A to point B, then these are great. I mounted a bunch to a 2x8 and screwed it down to my enclosed snowmobile trailer. I was able to haul 34 bikes safely and without damaging any of the bikes. There is no security to them so keep that in mind, also they will not work on through axle bikes very well.
Works great on my ghetto rack

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a "van rack" on my camper and this bolts right on. It is super simple and solid, couldn't ask for more. It is also way less expensive than a tray mount. I just use voile straps on the rear and I am set, never gets loose.
Simple, effective, slight modification.
Noah Singer
I used the Blockhead to bolt in the back of my truck. It's simple and strong. However, I needed to use longer bolts, and since the top overlaps over the holes, I had to drill out the pre-set holes in the bottom of the mount. This allowed me to slide in the longer bolts at an angle, and get bast the overhanging skewer mount. It did the job and now it works well.
Great product; high shipping cost.
This product is easy to install and easy to use. I had to get an additional bike mount because my son recieved a larger bike and we had to move the original mount farther back to allow his bike to fit. My only negative comment is the shipping is half the cost of the product. I am sure there are less expensive shipping costs.

Little Patchwork Pillowcase and a Giveaway
Lindsey asked me to be part of the Zakka Along, I basically begged her to let me do this project. It has my kids written all over it—they love cute little animals, and they especially love cute little animals that come with their own homes, beds, and/or carrying cases. So, a cute little animal that can be stowed in its own pocket on a cute little pillow? Three-year-old-girl heaven, I'm telling you.
This project is from the book Zakka Style, compiled by Rashida Coleman-Hale, so you'll need the book to make it. Lindsey of LR Stitched has spent the last several months running a sew-along of all the projects in the book, and this post is part of that series. Click here to catch up on all the posts.
Essex Linen in Putty by Robert Kaufman for the body of my pillowcase, winter-white felted wool for the bear, and an assortment of pink and green scraps for the patchwork.
The first thing to tackle: The diamonds, which are used for the patchwork pocket, the bear's tummy, and the patchwork piping. The book provides a template for cutting out the diamonds, but that is a lot of template cutting. I found it much easier to cut the diamonds from strips. Here's how I did it:
1. Cut strips 1 9/16" wide. Yes, that's a crazy measurement. No, my ruler doesn't have 1/16" marks. I just lined it up between the 1/2" mark and the 5/8" mark. Trust me, it'll work. : )
The most challenging part of this project for me was the piping on the pillowcase—I've never made piping before, so this was all new to me. The book says to use 1/4" piping cord, but that seemed awfully chunky to me for such a little pillow, so I went with 1/8". Even the 1/8" cord seems wide to me, but that might be because I have no idea how to make piping, so I didn't get the fabric casing very tight around the cord. LOL.
As you can see, my daughter really loves this bear—she named him "Barry." (Well, I think she meant "Beary," but we won't quibble over spelling.) All in all, this was such a great project! And based on my daughter's very positive feedback, I recommend it as a gift for the little girl (or boy!) in your life. : )
Lindsey's post for her Zakka Along giveaway—this week, it's a fat-quarter bundle of the Le Femme line by Robert Kaufman. Plus, link up your own Little Patchwork Pillowcase for a chance to win even more prizes. Enjoy your pillowcase!

Journal of the Dark Horse
I'm a 26 year old boy. Disorganised, reckless and irresponsible. I love my job as an arborist. I love trees and flowers. I get paid to climb trees. I'm into strength training, competition climbing, breaking the dancefloor in seedy clubs, 90's pop hits, Taylor Swift, martial arts (I'm not training atm) gin and beer.
Ask me anything
I want to learn circus arts and more parkour, gymnastics tricking. My dream is to develop an acrobatic style of trick tree climbing to bring arboriculture and recreational/competition climbing into the mainstream of extreme sports.

CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a control protocol transmitted through HDMI connections between TVs, Blu-ray Players, Home Theaters, Sound Bars, DVD players, Set-Top-Boxes, and other electronic devices.
CEC allows these devices, when connected in a system or network through their HDMI In and Out jacks, to communicate with each other and allows consumers use the TV remote to control all of the connected devices without the need for universal remote codes etc, In addition, CEC also allows considerable automation.
For example: You have a TV, Blu-ray player, and Home Theater System connected with HDMI and using the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) feature. When you put a Blu-ray into your Blu-ray player, the CEC system will automatically turn on your TV and your Home Theater System, and then route the video to the TV and the audio to the Home Theater System. Thus, everything can be controlled with just the TV remote.
Important: Samsungs HDMI-CEC function is named Anynet+. Other companies will label their HDMI-CEC function differently. Samsung can only guarantee CEC functionality between Samsung devices with the Anynet+ function. Although CEC function should work with other companies CEC function Samsung cannot guarantee this functionality.

Pack it up and move it out.
A pair of Yakima New Q Towers will let you put your gear on any vehicle. Pickup trucks, campers, and other utility vehicles may need an extra bar or just one to start with. The Yakima New Q Towers fit more vehicles than any other rack tower. Q clips, needed to attach the towers to your vehicle, are sold separately. Locks are also available.
Share your thoughts

Caleb Stipes
Will this fit my 1993 ford ranger supercab 2wd? Is this only one crossbar or is it 2 like Yakima sells on their website?
Dave Marcus
This isn't any cross-bar. This is a set of two towers. You get one pair - enough to mount a single cross-bar on your truck.

Sylvan Hilber
mercury mystique no rack. Does this fit any car or just ones with no gutter and a round profile?
Dave Marcus
It will fit most cars. Yakima has specific Q-clips for different vehicles. I'd help more, but you didn't mention the year of your Mercury and that's important. If you go to http://www.yakima.com/, there's a "fit my car" option that will allow you to enter your car information and see what products will work for you.
will this work on VW passatt 2012
Pete Gover
will this work on VW passatt 2012
Matthew Niedermiller
Yes, however you need a set of 4 to have 2 crossbars on your car. You will also need the clips. 1 set of Q35 and 1 set of Q128 and a pair of 58in bars. Locks are not included, but recommended and each tower one lock core.

jean boyce
Will this system work on a Hyndai sonata 2006
Dave Marcus
It will work, but it's not all that you need to build a system.
You'll need two pairs of Q Towers, one pair of Q5 Q clips and one pair of Q99 Q clips (http://www.backcountry.com/yakima-q-clips-1-pair-yak0074.html), and a pair of 58" crossbars (http://www.backcountry.com/yakima-58-inch-round-bar-1-pair.html).
Then, you have to buy the mounts for whatever you'd like to stick up there - bikes, skis, boards, etc.

charlie brown
Will this mount to a pop up camper? I have a 2001 Jayco Quest. I would like to mount this to the roof and to hold bikes. What do I need to purchase?
Jesse Lind
This is not the correct tower for a pop-up camper. You will need to use Yakima Control Towers and install either Yakima tracks or Yakima fixed mounting points (landing pads). The Yakima tracks use Yakima Landing Pad 1. Your choice of fixed mounting point really depends on what works with your configuration.
Another option is to install Yakima Widebody brackets on the side to simulate raingutters. Then, instead of Q Towers or Control Towers, you would use the 1A Raingutter towers. There are tall versions available (spacers, etc.) if you have a unique situation requiring you to mount the brackets lower than preferred.
Either way, your pop-up camper must offer a stable and secure bolting surface, lest your rack tear/shear completely off during a sudden deceleration or turn.

dan melton
Write your question here...Will the Q Towers fit my '08 Jeep Patriot?
You will need Q83-A Q clips for the front and Q83-A Q clips for the rear, 58" CrossBars and a 50" fairing (optional). I did this based on the assumption you will be fitting them over factory racks.

Write your question here...i just bought a 2010 mazda 3 5 do or.with no rack. what do i need to put my 2- 10 ft kayaks
up there?
Jason Livingston
Currently Yakima doesn't have a Fit Clip that will work on your car. You do have a few options though. One, custom rack system. This needs to be done by a custom rack shop (i.e. Rack Attack) which will allow you to use a full Yakima rack and all the accessories. It's quick and painless and usually ups the resale value of your car (warning: do not do this on your own! It needs to be done by a certified custom rack installer). The other option is Yakima's new Rack & Roll Trailer (you will need a hitch installed). This trailer is awesome and allows you to put anything you would on your roof on the trailer. It's essentially a roof rack made into a trailer. The benefits are more aerodynamic, easier to get on and off than on the roof, and you can fit more on the trailer. You should check it out on Yakima.com. If you don't want a custom rack or a trailer, you can check back regularly on yakima.com and hit the link 'Fit My Car' for any updates.
you can go with the factory rack that screws into the rain gutters. check ebay or mazda. its 425 from the dealer and about 100 less on ebay. cheers

Can you get replacement rubber pads for the bottoms of these towers?
My son has polls but needs yakima tower...
kathy goldman
My son has polls but needs yakima tower system. what will work?
Just Swell
They are very simple and easy to use. The newer models of q towers(not compared to y towers) are much easier than the older ones. I had to get just the pair because my older ones broke when i was reinstalling them to my car. But these are great. Good price from backcountry.com. actually better than yakima themselves.
Yakima Rocks
I bought a Q Tower system for my wife's Sienna van a while back and it went on beautifully. It is also super easy to take on and off. For my Civic the fit was a bit trickier but once I found the right position it sticks solid. This site is also the best price for Yakima gear. I did a lot of price comparison.
Great for Pick up trucks
I own a pick up truck, and only needed 1 pair. Backcountry store has the best deal and price! Next time I won't waste my time looking any ware else.
Amazing versatility
Aaron Cheatwood
This is the only racking system that with an oversized bar can go from a Chevy Citation to a Chevy Suburban to a VW Passat in less than 5 minutes and with only an allen-wrench set. Simply amazing, and much more stable than you would ever think possible!

Salisbury couple charged with drug possession
A Salisbury couple were charged with drug possession over the weekend following a search of their Civic Park apartment.
The Salisbury Police Department's Police Interdiction Team (PIT) were at the Hall Street complex on Friday evening. An officer knocked on the apartment and asked to search.
The renter, Diatra Symone Litaker, gave the officer consent to search the apartment. The officer found a plastic bag and marijuana stems inside a trash bag. Litaker told her children to sit down on the couch, but when officers checked underneath them, they found more marijuana and some money. Officers found 13.6 grams (.48 ounces) of marijuana, digital scales and $318.90 under the couch.
Litaker, 22, of Hall Street, was charged possession with the intent to manufacture, sell and deliver a controlled substance and maintaining a dwelling place for controlled substances, both felonies.
She has since been released from the county jail under a $5,000 secured bond.
Her boyfriend, Desmond Toomer, was asked if he could be checked. Officers noticed a bulge in his front pocket and asked him if he had any weapons. Toomer told the officer he had money in his pockets.
However, when officers searched Toomer's pocket, he had 10.8 grams (.38 ounces) of individually wrapped marijuana.
Toomer, 28, also of Hall Street, was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance with the intent to manufacture. Toomer remains in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $5,000 secured bond.
It's not the first time the couple have been arrested and charged together. The two were charged in February with armed robbery. Litaker and Toomer, along with another man, forced their way into an apartment at Zion Hills.
Litaker has been convicted of a number of driving infractions. Toomer was convicted of assault on a female, larceny, communicating threats and resisting arrest.

Antique Pinchbeck Watchcock Necklace
Watchcocks are intricately engraved and pierced round pieces of brass used to protect and support the delicate balance wheels used in watches from the 16th to 19th century. What makes the watchcock so amazing is that each and every one of them is truly unique. In fact, no exact duplicates have been found as of this writing. When a watch was scraped, these coqs de montre (French) were made into decorative jewelry such as necklaces, earrings, brooches and even bracelets during the late Victorian years.
This wondrous necklace displays twenty Pinchbeck watchcocks from the 18th century. Each escapement cover has an ornate design with floral centers. In addition, many of them also sport scrolls, fanciful faces (read upside down), urns and dragons.

I wore this to a meeting recently and I am obsessed with these jeans! The high waist with a flare totally elongates the body. Flares used to scare me, but this dark gray pair is a modern take on the 60's style. Paired them with a cropped knit sweater and my favorite shades. I cannot stop wearing these vintage Ray-bans that my mom picked up for me one weekend at a vintage boutique. I wonder if they still sell this smaller shape?
Anyways, this week has been SO HECTIC! I am in the midst of moving to NYC for work and of course working on some really exciting projects at the same time. All I know is that I will be flying back and forth from NYC to LA and vice versa quite a lot. Gotta get used to the 6 hour flight hehe! One thing though I'm beyond excited about being able to work in NYC, is how much closer I am to Dylana! So crazy how things work out! We will both be east coasting it from now on!!
