Default Starting Soon

So the 117 Build is done
Ill be starting the stereo soon
I gave up on the Idea of speakers in the Lowers for now
So here are my initial plans with a few options
help me decide

Deck Pioneer MVH-X560BT This alows the 2 amps in fairing
Front stage ARC 600.4 bridged to HERTZ MLK 165.3 (250 Watts)
Bags 6900 Pro running off of RF TM400 (150 watts)
Both amps installed in fairing. (I hope)

Rear Tour Pak
I have HSK 165 to go in. But maybe overkill,Tour Pak will be off 90% of the time.
Need to run an AMP in the tour pak. But hate the idea.


Would I be better off selling the HSK and going with something like a Moto 602 or a Hertz coax?
Still need an amp in tour pak. So maybe a Tarantula Nano TN4.900Dor a CV B52?

Or try and get by with the 2 amps
Run the MLK off the RF TM400 @ 200 watts
Run the Pioneer Pro and Tour Pak with a coax off the ARC 600 @150 watts x4
Not sure the 150 watts on the HSK will work?

I know sometimes keeping it simple is best.

My first thought is, if you are planning on needing to install an amp in the bag why not just go to a larger footprint amp and run the lids and TP pods from one amp. You could go to a Hertz HDP and sounds really good.
I think this would be a more efficient way to run the rear stage.
Now take this all with a grain of salt as I'm running 4 amps in the fairing when could have gotten away with 2 amps in the bags and been done.

AMP in BAGS BIG NO NO
Momma has claimed that space.

So im stuck with fairing and maybe a amp in tour pak.
But tour pak is off90% of the time

Its never easy

I like the first set up but I prefer DD AW 6.5''s and At-28'a or BT-30's for the front stage. If your tour pack is off 90% of the time I wouldn't bother with it but if you want to we'll definitely help you.

Thanks FatherWayne
Im sure the DD stuff is awsome
But trying to sell the old (No body wants) stuff.
Well Im not ready to take a huge loss and start over, besides the Hertz stuff is still Kickass in my book
Im starting to lean To running just the 2 amps and leaving the rear disconnected when the TP is off.

U will like the MLK. Good solid speaker!!! With the power u r gonna feed them im thinking u will just want to cross them a little higher as they start to take a knee (distort) a bit early in the game. 90ish should work well.

You will have a nice setup there. The Hertz are not bad speakers by any means. I really liked the ones you got off me, but if you haven't noticed I change partially as bad as Gann, Haze, T,etc. I say partially as a whole storefront of used audio is on them boys garage shelves.Did you get into your heads and what cams did you choose? That idle may keep you from listening to the audio while stationary!!!!
