Now,
Lets not just limit this to speaker talk. Sound Digital did a great job of giving us 2ohm and 1ohm (bridged) stable amps to help us get the most power out of them. Don't get me wrong there are other 1,2, and 4 ohm amp but I know a lot of us run SD.
Holy dynamo! Major revelation once we start talking mono set ups! Basically take your 2 ohm stable 4 channel amp and control each channel separately per pair of speaks. All of a sudden way more speaker combos off your 4 channel amp and line levellers/DSP.
I have 8ohm 8s in my bags parallel bridged, my fairing and lowers are 4ohm each set
run to one channel summed . 1000 watt amp running all 6 prob leaving around 100-150w on the table
Unless your gains are tuned for a target voltage, I do not see none left on table. Which is a good thing!
EX
Ch1 Fairing wired parallel 2ohm load split 250 or 125 per speaker
Ch2 Lowers wired parallel 2 ohm load split 250 or 125 per speaker
Ch3/4 bridged bags wired parallel 4 ohm load split 500 or 250 per speaker

BRILLIANT!!
Yes, with a DSP you could do as Frenchie did and put fairing parallel on ch1, TP parallel on ch2, left lower 3, and right lower 4. Any combination, with a DSP!, and tune each set differently
If you are running a high power 55 Amp alternator at full power at 14 volts, thats 770 watts. Even if you ignore efficiency losses, if you are running your amp beyond that, then youll be sucking the additional needed power from the battery. Even if you are running the LiFe 6 amp-hour battery, you/dont have much time before you run out of power...
So, unless you are just riding a mile or two, I dont see how you can cruise any distance if your 1,000 watt amp is really putting out 1,000 watts...or even 700....or 500 if you are running any other accessories.

Exactly what I will be doing!
DSR1. INCOMING! Unless there is something newer and better and with Bluetooth tuning????
