Sony AMP part # CT4T-18B849-AA
this AMP is from 2012 Ford models with upper Sony system/AMP, the ROM is not modified like newer models. I have 2016 Focus ST with 10 speaker system, disconnected tweeter in dash for better side to side music play, notice that rear speakers play lower level than fronts. I can turn volume all the whey to 30 (max) and speakers don't distort. Found out from ST board that early 2012 Ford models with Sony systems & AMP Rom was not modified and after installing this early AMP rear speakers play as loud as fronts now and it plays louder at 20-25. No one knows why Ford had Sony cut loudness to rear speakers, maybe people were blowing speakers?
USED Klipsch RP-8000F II High-Resolution Floorstanding Speaker w/ Enhanced Bass

Much improved over rf8000f, clear highs and good mid base
I had older Klipsch RF-25 model since 2007 which have dual 6.5 inch woofer and older style tweeter. I used to live in a smaller home hence why I bought them, but then moved to a new home that has 400+ sq living room. I was going to just upgrade to Klipsch rf-35 or rf800 till I saw demo's and read specs on the new rf8000f II. The new improved/updated RF-8000 f II is improved over the rf-8000f as I was able to do side by side comps. MKII has clearer clean highs and better mid base maybe resulting from having each woofer being sparate in the tower with each driver having its own enclosure and port. New speaker connection at base is cleaner and easier to connect speaker cable and add atmos speaker. It was night and day doing side by side comps with rf8000f II next to my rf-25's. I knew there would a difference but not at this level, also the dispersion on the rf-8000f II is much wider as I didn't have to toe them in like rf25's. I'm a happy camper!

Klipsch RF25's
I have owned Klipsch speakers for over 10 yrs, they are efficient, sound great, work over a broad sound stage and look good to. I listen to everything, FM radio, CD's, DVD's and I am very happy how they sound in various formats. I have all of the RF series, RF25 towers now, RC3, RS3 but use a Velodyne SPL12 for sub only because at the time I couldn't get a fair deal on Klipsch 12" sub and I was able to pick up the Velodyne at a great price. I bought these RF-25's to match my other RF's as I had the RF3 fronts (2001 model) but they over powered the front stage a tad and even though I lowered there volume in the AV and I didn't need that much bass coming from the front with a sub, so I sold and bought these RF25's at a smoking price ($152), they sound great, matched all the other speakers and timber is equal. Actually they are little brighter than the RF3's, being 06 model there were changes in the tweeter and crossover and I hear high's I didn't hear before with RF3's and there more crisp. Since my room is only 20x18 these fit very well and take up a little less room. I was going to get RF-63's, little over kill but they are trick looking and sound awsome but the RF25 came across my path and nabbed them.
