2016 roadglide special,upper fairing WDX6 motos lower fairing PRV 6MB250 ndy-4, mmats dtx26's in the inner fairing and 1 pair of horns in my bags. IM ATTEMPTING TO power these speakers with a Diamond Audio 800.4 HXM also have a fosgate dsp,I give my upper and lower fairing 6.5's a 100 to a 120 W RMS each if I can .If I wire my 2 upper speakers in parallel to one channel doesn't that split the RMS wattage between the 2 only given him 60 W apiece? Also I realized that I don't have any rca's coming from my stock deck,how do I wire the out's from the HU to the DSP? I'm determined to do this by myself hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew,thanks If I wire each of my 4 6.5's each to their own channel,can I parallel in my 4 horns?

You can wire the dsp with speaker level inputs, check your instructions or the RF website support tab for more info. As far as your speaker choice and locations, put the Moto's in the fairing and the prv's in the lowers each on it's own channel.
Why are you putting horns in you bags?. Do you have speakers there too? It would work out for you better if you got a small or mico amp tomrun the horns with, in addition tomwhat you have. Just curious about why you want horns in the bags when you will have Motos up front.

I already had the horns in the bags,along with 2 6x9's each bag, I probably don't need the horns,and maybe I'll delete them to simplify. But I do want my horns in the fairing, how would I add those without a micro amp?

Look up American hard bag. They sell what’s called a front line signal wire. It connects from the front speaker and has rca inputs to connect to the dsp.

you’ll need another amp to run the 6x9’s. Or get a 6 channel amp.

Why are you running horns with coax speakers in the fairing?

  1. What I'm asking is if I can use this out on the right to get signal to my rear amplifier
  2. Can

    Can this out channel be used to get signal to the rear amp?

    I could probably fit my DA HXM in my fairing if these weren't there can i shave them?
    I shave these tabs on the top of the head light so I can fit this amp in fairing?
