I am in the process of upgrading my bike's audio system. I have the following components and would appreciate it if one of our forum experts can verify that I have the wiring correct for what I am installing.

Soundstream P4.1000D 4 channel amp
Arc Audio Moto 602's in fairing (4 ohm)
Infinity Kappa 62.11i in lowers (2 ohm)
Kicker KSC67 in rear pods (4 ohm)

Channel 1:
Positive lead from Soundstream amp to positive lead on Moto 602 sub 1
Positive lead from Moto 602 sub 1 to positive lead on Moto 602 sub 2
Negative lead from Soundstream amp to negative to Moto 602 sub 1
Negative lead from Moto 602 sub 1 to negative lead to Moto 602 sub 2
2 ohm load on channel 1 (parallel wiring)

Channel 2:
Positive lead from Soundstream amp to positive lead on Kicker sub 1
Positive lead from Kicker sub 1 to positive lead on Kicker sub 2
Negative lead from Soundstream amp to negative to Kicker sub 1
Negative lead from Kicker sub 1 to negative lead to Kicker sub 2
2 ohm load on channel 2 (parallell wiring)

Channel 3:
Positive lead from Soundstream amp to positive lead on Kappa sub 1
Negative lead from Soundstream amp to negative lead on Kappa sub 1
2 ohm load on channel 3

Channel 4:
Positive lead from Soundstream amp to positive lead on Kappa sub 2
Negative lead from Soundstream amp to negative lead on Kappa sub 2
2 ohm load on channel 4

 

you are losing your stereo image in the fairing and rear pods!

kappa's are good.

run left kicker and left moto on channel 1 (parallel)
run Right kicker and Right moto on channel 2 (parallel)

Run left kappa on channel 3
Run right kappa on channel 4

this way you keep left left and right right.
kicker and moto are both 4 ohm so results into 2 ohm parallel

 

+1

Optimal would be to ditch the Kappas for another set of Kickers and run those in parallel. The Kickers and Arc's have different sensitivity with the Kickers getting louder slightly quicker than the Arcs, but I can assure you the Arc's can get louder. So once you tap out the Kickers you won't be able to get the most out of those Arc's and those are by far the best speakers in your set-up.

 

+1 agree. moto's need the focus, as those will give you the most direct sound "in your face" (fairing).
the rest is "surround sound"

 

What if he dropped the kickers into his lower fairings and ran them in parrell with the Arc's and then ran the kappa's on the rear channel

 

Thanks for the advice. So if I understand you this is what it should look like



I just ordered the Kappa's and they have already shipped. Can always swap them out later for another set of Kickers.

 

Disregard.

 

AAWAV and HAZE are awesome!!

 

Yep just like that.

But I'm telling you man you're going to want to give those Arc's their own channel, those speakers get very loud with lots of great low end....and on their own channel they will receive the most efficient and clean power.
