Unless I'm totally misunderstanding this whole thing from the get go. I'm not here to bash anyone or question their credibility. I'm just trying to figure this out in my pea brain. This watts stuff may sound like nonsense, but it's not. Too little, you don't get the right sound. Too much, you don't get the right sound. Again, just trying to look at this from average joe perspective who doesn't have the means to drop over a grand on a fairing setup.
I’m not familiar with this speaker but the listing said designed to be used with a xover. Then it must have separate feeds for the woofer and driver? If that’s the case, the woofers could be parallel on one amp, drivers on other. That would make a 4 ohm load and could be tuned separate. Am I close or a complete idiot?

I mentioned earlier they're bi-amped speakers.

The setup suggested does not involve running one of the 600.1 amps for the horns... just to avoid confusion lol

so if I'm reading correctly that is 6 amps? All in the fairing? If so all I can say is Holy Sh&t!! I'd love to see how that all lays out. Just the 1200 and 800 is crazy, then 4 600's and a dsp. That's nuts. Well done sir!
