Default New Audio setup 17 RG

Looking for Suggestions on a new setup for a 17 RG. Wondering if I can run 1 fairing amp to run fairing, lowers and lid speakers? Leaning towards aw6.5 in fairing, VO 6x9 in lids and undecided on speakers in lowers. As far as amps go im open to any suggestions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

You may be limited in running just 1 amp as those are fairly power hungry speakers if you’re set on having Lowers. Also keep in mind with the AW, you will need either a set of tweeters or a set of horns. Tweeters being the easiest from an amp channel standpoint as you can run them off of some channel AW’s are on. I would say you are better served with two amps. The new focal and soundigital amps are good power and sized right for the fairings. For the lowers, a good set of pro audios would serve the purpose, with MMats possibly being the easiest. Others can chime in on this specifically.

Also, if you haven’t bought speakers yet, I have a set of AW’s and VO’s if you’re interested. Shoot me a PM for more info.
