I currently already have the Kenwood 9980HD and Focal 165VB installed and it sounds just OK.........(yes the Focals really do want an amp)

I want to go ahead and get an amp to drive the focals, but it would be nice if the amp could also power the next purchase which will be a magic box with the JL 13TW5-3. Would the JL XD500/3 have enough power to drive all of it or am I better off getting an amp just for the Focals now and another amp for the sub later? I don't want to regret not have enough drive power and have to buy things twice if I can avoid it.

Any feedback from other installs?
