Hey guys and gals, starting to transition into the audio portion of the bike and although my dreams are big my wallet is little lol just want to make sure my setting are good to go.
my bike is a 2016 street glide

HU: jvc kd-x340bt 4 volt
front stage: Polk DB 6501 components
rear: 1 set of pioneer TS-d6902r's
amp: soundstream PN1000.4D

i have both settings on the amp at "full pass"
with the eq on the front around 80hz and the rear around 50hz. The gains on both are about 1pm if you were thinking of a clock, should be around 130 watts each channel. Set the gains with a 80hz tone and DMM at 75% volume. Then played music after and checked with DMM.

everything on the HU was set to flat. Does this sound about right? I have zero experience with this amp or these speakers so I don't know how much you guys are feeding similar setups. Sounds great but could be louder lol

 

Test tone should be 1000hz tone, not 80
Pioneers can't play 50hz, raise the HPF to 65-70
Bike should be running when taking DMM readings on amp setting, then set by ear once target is located

 

Ahhhh so the bike running would put the proper volts to the amp then I'm guessing, making it more of an efficient reading?

 

Amp needs to be set to HPF not full pass.

 

full pass on amp negates any frequency settings

 

The HPFs on the head unit wont work for him? I'm not familiar with his JVC, but i thought I've read where guys were using their Sony's and Kenwoods HPF with the amp on full pass (flat).

And shouldn't you be taking cover instead of posting on here??? Hoping for the best for you guys down in Miami

 

i guess i assumed he was dialing in freq on amp

 

Say I wanted to take the PA route... could I bridge the amp so it's 500x2 @ 4 ohms then run the horns off 1 channel and the mids off the other? That should give around 250 per speaker correct? Obviously I would dial the gain way down, but would that work?

 

2 horns and 2 mids so 4 speakers at 250w per speaker if I wire in parallel
