Iworktofish. I should be picking up the AWs on Wednesday. Still waiting on the other parts too. I'll provide an update once it's all installed and I get a chance to listen. I've decided to wait on the tweeter pods and mount them in the speaker grills.

I have the same amp and used 8ga. My justification is it's a short run. I've been out of this game for 25 years so perhaps others can chime in. My gains are set properly and the 50 amp fuse hasn't blown so far.

Let me know if you get enough SPL out of those DD AW's. I wanted to go that route but didn't think they'd have the efficiency on a fairing only setup even with 200 Watts to enjoy at 70 mph

curious about that program, sounds like it turns your phone into an RTA? Please let me know how it works out.
I see you have the M600 bridged and your running the Euphoria EPC6K. Do you have another set of speakers its bridged to in your lowers?

I originally had 4 channels bridged to the EPC6k's in fairing and 2 channels to the SP CM6.5's in lowers, which both Sporks and Bad *** Bikes recommended. Couldn't even hear the lowers, while the EPC6k's get insanely loud and sound a bit harsh at high volumes (to my ears). So then I swapped and sent 200w to the SP's and 75w to the EPC6k's and it's better balanced. I may switch out one or both sets though...was hoping to avoid chasing the unicorn.

Are you running the Euphoria's and if so, what has been your experience?

Ahh, Ron D 33 I just realized you're the one using the Euphoria mid's with Focal tweeters. It seems our ears are similar. I was contemplating switching out the Euphoria tweeters with 2pr of Dynaudio MD102's which are very smooth...just not nearly as efficient. Decent midbass out of the Euphoria midrange...just that metal tweeter gets a bit harsh at higher volume. Has that been your experience?

Im surprised they recommended bridging it that way. The DBs are more effecient and in your face and wouldn't require it like that. The lowers would need more like you have it now. I never tried the tweeter that came with tge EPC6Ks because I already liked the Focals. I'm working on a new front stage now and might be selling my Focal TN-53Ks if the new speakers do what they are supposed to do. I have the Focal TNFs listed in the classified now that are mounted in the grill. They are a great sounding tweeter too, I just don't need the highs as much now with the rear speakers. I like the EPC6Ks and so far they are the best bang for your buck speaker I've had in the fairing.
