Just curious is your system loud enough with the 4.60 amps? What made you choose those amps instead of let’s say the Rockford T400AD? Also which amp would be considered warmer the Rockford or DD Audio amp? Anyone know?

It is plenty loud. But the highs are a bit much. If i did it over again i would do the rockford amps. I did the 4.60 amps cause Justin and I wanted to try it out. If i remember correctly one is bridged to the 6x9s and the other is for the horns and fairing 6.5's

I am planning to change it up next year as i want to go to a double din and 8s in the fairing.

Swing by talk to Justin at Infocus. Be usually has some bikes he could play for you too.

😬Hope you guys don’t mind but I’m barking up the same tree, already have 2 pioneer 6x9’s and a horn in each bag, was wanting to upgrade to 4 dd vo 6x9’s for the lows what amp would give them 175 -200 rms ?

maybe mmats 6.5’s up top
not sure what horns yet, I’ve got some soundstream bullet tweeters now and two pairs of infinity kappas running on a JL mx 500/4, got a diamond Audio HXM 800 I was thinking could power my Pro Audio front stage and get something new for the back, budget 1500?

Chaz,
Any chance you could get a video up of just these playing? I just ordered some Resilient Sounds RS65m as I’m hoping they are a little warmer than the DD VO6.5. If these sound pretty good I might return them while I can. Trying to stay on a tight budget as I just got the bike and wife’s not liking the fact of me spending a ton on it already.

That's funny, I heard the same thing.
I had equipment sent to my son's house so she didn't know exactly what I was doing or spending. Some times you have to do what you have to do. Good luck on the endevor. So many decisions.
