Everyone has a different ear for music. What I think sounds good doesnt mean you will. Also depends on the type of music you listen to. From the way you come off, Id say this would be what Id recommend you:
Alpine DVA-9860
Alpine F#1 PXA-H900
Lotus by SEAS Reference prototype tweeter
Lotus by SEAS RW165 midbass
Lotus by SEAS SW300 12" subs
Rockford Fosgate T5002
BRAX X2400.2

why only 150 rms? the pa4212 puts out 130x2, so how is it over doing it? isnt that 20 watts less than your suggested 150rms?

At 4 ohms, if Im not mistaken the amp and speakers in question can run at 2.

exactly... so why are you suggesting him to buy $960 components without knowing what his tastes are and then telling him its worth every penny?

the diamond audio components are 4 ohm.

the eclipse amp has enough power, and would match those speakers well. the only thing i am worried about is what you are going to use to high pass them.

The only Focal components that sells for 9 or above are the K2's and Utopia's. When comparing Diamond D3 entry level comps to Focals mid level comps, no ones going to say the D3's sound better. Also I will still say Focal is worth every penny.

I could be wrong about the Diamonds, Ill find out from my installers.

Still think he could save some money with a smaller amp.
