Default Audio Help

Hello, new to the forum and new to the motorcycle audio world. My current set up is Hertz 165.3 Millie pros in the fairing, and Hertz 690.3 Millie pros in the lids powered by a diamond audio 84U. My question is right now I have each speaker running to its own channel at 90watts per channel. Would I be better off running these speakers parallel and just run 2 channels? Also I live in Harrisburg PA if anyone has a recommendation for an audio shop around my area they could recommend. Thanks for all the help.

Your speakers are 4ohm, running parallel creates a 2 ohm load. Your amp bridged is not 2ohm stable. That amp bridged creates 275w at a 4ohm load only. No bueno on that setup.

You are going to want a 4 channel amp that creates 150+ watts at 4ohm.

hey man. Welcome to the audio forum. I'm down in Lancaster. Hit me up if you wanna hear some nice bikes. There's a couple nice ones running around here. As said above that amp probably isn't what you want/need with your current plan
