Cerwin Vega B54

So I bought this amp last year for my 2016 Street Glide. I was going to put on lowers with speaker pods but haven't so just going to run the 2 fairing speakers, which are AD Designs ADCX621, for now
Question should I use just the front channel or bridged? wondering what is best for the amp. Still going to get the lowers in the future or I would get the 2 channel amp
Oh yes I have a Bike Tronics line level to install also
Stock head unit
Thanks

I have the same CV B54 and use it strictly for the front fairing speakers and run it non bridged,,,,I believe the amp bridged is 300w x 2 which maybe a bit much for those speakers ......maybe a forum member with experience in those speakers will chime in,,,,,,good luck on this never ending journey!!

That amp doesn't have enough power for a 4ohm setup unless you bridge it. Especially not for 4 4ohm speakers.

I have no experience with the B54 amp but for reference I am running 100 watts to those same AD speakers and they get as loud as I need them to.

Thanks

Thanks for the info I guess I’ll use it for the two speakers and if I add any more I’ll have to get a solid 4 channel amp

SBATES why would you say this amp is underpowered at 80 x 4 RMS?? just wondering?
