New FOCAL Fairing amp 4x175w!
#242
Gann...are both those 600/6's in your fairing? Would two FDPs fit in an 09 FLHTCU?
I'm thinking about PA601s in the lower pods, PRV 6MR500-NDYs in upper fairing, and not sure about the pak pods. I have stock 5.25 pak pods and havent researched if I can enlarge the hole to accommodate PA601s, or just go with BT747s.
Eventually I'm thinking SBD CCK lids...down the road a bit.

I did read about Elroy, contacted him and asked if what he had for me to buy was v1 or v2 and he never replied. The posts I saw made it seem like v2 were improved and I didnt want to pull the trigger on a 50-50 shot in the dark.
Are your 600/6 Ms or XDs? Are you content with them or itching to try the FDP?
Are the tiny Hawgwired amps with side-brackets any good for just DDB3 horns? Seems two of those and an FDP would fit in the fairing

The hawg wired amps are junk. I'd stay away from those. If you want to run a smaller amp for your horns I'd recommend the NVX MVPA4.

Just kidding bro! I was basically saying when they come up with a 6 channel amp rated at 200 watts per channel @ 4 ohms with the same footprint as the focal amp. I'm all in!!
I presently run two JL 600/6 amps. That's it. My JL's are only 75 watts per channel though. To get 200 watts I have to bridge em. But technically I can only bridge 3 speakers. Lol!!

Yes technically. In my scenario the assumption is 4 ohm speakers. If a guy was to run 8 ohm speakers that number would increase to 6 speakers bridged parallel @ 4 ohms. 200 watts per channel. So yeah. Depends on the math. Just having a little fun here brother. Bottom line is I wouldn't trade my JL amps for any amp out there but that's just me. To each his own. Now in my mind that MMATS 6150 is mighty tempting if a guy has $900 bucks laying around he's not doing anything with. . . If I were to upgrade for the 100th time. That's the amp I'd roll with.

Asuming that the 6MR500-NDY (8 ohms), has the same specs than the 6MR500-NDY-4 (they show the same on paper), I don't see how the 8 ohms version is going to sound better (or at least as loud) than the 4 ohms like some claim.

Well but the 8 ohms speakers would be receiving 100 Watts instead of the 200 that the 4 ohms will receive.

Subs? I've never had subs in my bike yet. I have the JL TW3 subs sitting on my shelf for a future build but I presently run 10" midrange speakers in the bags. But to answer your question. Yes Sir!! I still have my TN4.900 sitting on my shelf. Love that amp!
