Can you return the amp? That's where I'd start.

 

Great post, I do have questions as I am about do my install. I have a 2017 RG speacial.
My Plan- 2 hertz MPX Mille Pro 6.5 4 ohm, and 2 St25 hertz 4 ohm driver tweeter, for front fairing running off Diamond Micro MV4,
and 4 6x9 Piooneers 4 ohm in rear saddlebag running off Alpine 4 channel X-A70F 120 RMS.
all though I have DSR1 and keeping stock HU I am heading to Dealer to have flash done today to activate rear channel. Nothing installed yet to avoid dealer questions.
My question is: The way i plan to connect everything each speaker will have its own channel so no need to parallel anything. Doing it this way from reading your post , will i miss out on increasing power by not runing in Parallel? Am I on the right path or not? should I bridge channels and leave some channel for future add ons (possible sub woofer) if i need ?I would like to get the most out of these components. I have one last question,will I need to do a crossbride for ST25's? I appreciate any expert answers and advice, just keep in mind I have purchased everything already and I am a total newbie to the audio world but i love to DIY. After install I will take to a local pro shop to tune and set gains. Thanks in advance

 

OK...so, I'm with uplandpinter - a newbie trying to get the info I need to install some new aftermarket speakers and an amp on a 1995 Electra Glide, whose eyes are quickly glazing over as I try to wade through all this technical info... I've done a lot of mechanical work and a tiny bit of wiring but (to be honest) I'm a little overwhelmed and feeling outta my league. :-/ I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some direction on how best to wire this system...??

Equipment:

• HEAD UNIT:
  • JVC KD-R97MBS ( https://www.cnet.com/products/jvc-kd...ull-din/specs/ )

• AMP:
  • Soundstream PN1.1000D ( http://soundstream.com/product/pn1-1000d/ )

• (2) 6.5" PYLE FRONT FAIRING SPEAKERS:
  • 4 Ohm - 400W Peak - 200W RMS ( https://www.cnet.com/products/pyle-h...-marine/specs/ )

• (4) ROCKVILLE 6x9 SADDLEBAG SPEAKERS:
  • 4 Ohm - 500W Peak - 125W RMS ( https://www.rockvilleaudio.com/rmsts69w/ )

Thank a million, in advance, for any direction that anyone would be willing to give!!

 

Have you already purchased all of these items?

 

yes... However I may have some flexibility in returning or exchanging some of the items. I did get the Soundstream PN4.1000D amp...not the PN1.1000D

 

I realize that your probably shooting for a budget install but I would definitely return the speakers and start over. You'll never be satisfied with those PYLE for certain. I noticed you stated 2 pair of 6x9's. How are you installing these? Double lids, single lids with one inside each bags, or both mounted in the bags?

 

First of all, thanks for the reply! yeah, I was going for more of a budget install but if I can find some comprable speakers that aren't much more, I don't mind going that route. The Pyle speakers we're actually something I picked up very cheap, so I don't have much into them. After researching a lot of options, I decided to go with dual lids...with (2) 6x9 speakers in each lid. The Rockvilles for the bags were actually rated very high online and don't have weep holes... So there's less of a chance that I'll get water leaking into the bags. My plan was to cover them with black mellotone speaker fabric that's been treated with a water repellent., just for a bit of insurance ... another suggestion I found online. Thanks, again!
