New amp or creative wiring?
So I am planning my new stereo and trying to use parts I already have, but am not opposed to switching stuff out. I plan on running prvs in the fairing with a pair of ST25 horns. Also would like to run a pair of SV165.1s in the tour pack pods. The bike is a 14 ultra limited. I have a jl Fix 82 and arc moto 600. Was thinking about running the horns parallel off the prvs and then adjusting the eq in the JL to tone down the higher frequencies in the front. I was wondering if I can still set the amp to put out 150 watts on all 4 channels or if this will damage the horns even if I tone down the higher frequencies. The other option Im considering is to sell the arc moto and get a jl600/6v2. My concern is that the 75 watts wont be enough. I would like the bike to be loud and clear on the highway.
What do do you guys think?

I think 150w is above the rated rms for the horns (formal disclaimer).
But, I have ran B3 parallel at 200w. You may like it, I didnt. You could try and hook it up as planned and change if you dont like the sound.
Easy fix would be to put the horns on a sd250.

I understand its going to be all mids and highs which Im ok with. Really just looking for loud and clear and dont want to lose and bag space or do lids.

Since ur all in, I think Inthewindmn's plan about the SD mini amp is a very solid yet inexpensive way to get ur horns in the most beneficial spot.
Enjoy brother!!

I won't put amps or DSPs in my bag so if u have the same limiting parameters u could always sell the fix and get the ARC PSM as that little guy will fit on the brake side and the CB can stay.
