Default Amp Suggestion for DD VO 6x9

Suggestions needed..

I'm looking to add another amp to my bike. This one will be to power a set of DD VO 6x9s in the bags.

My current setup:

2015 Street Glide

Ground Zero Amp (GZRA), in the fairing, bridged to a set of DD AW6.5 and BT 30.

Arc Moto 600.4 (in the fairing) pushing two sets of Hertz Mille Pro 165.3. One set on the tour pack, one set in the lower fairings.

Head unit is a Sony MEX-70BT

My Thoughts so far..

DD D4.90 bridged
Mmats MD4100

Any other suggestions??

You could potentially swap the Arc 600.4 for a soundigital 800.4 and parallel the Hertz. Otherwise the mmats will work with plenty of headroom.

Thanks.. So I'm actually leaning towards your guys advice. How does the Soundigital 800.4 compare to the Hertz HDP4?

For your application the soundigital is very close in specs, much cheaper, more efficient. Downside is fixed 80hz crossover. But for your speaker selection it is nearly ideal. The vo will play bit lower, but at 80hz will still have plenty of thump. I was in on this amp from initial concept of release and waited a long time to get it. Has proven to be a killer little powerhouse.

Right now I just swapped amps for my VO 6X9 and currently have about 225 going to them and dam are they LOUD with a good thump. Still playing around with the settings and going to back the power down some more. I let you know were my final settings are when I am done

I have my on an Arc Moto 600.4, so 150 Watts. Sounds good, but I believe Haze at BAL told me they can take 220.
