Wiring Strategy Help
Originally planned to add coax lowers, to my existing MMats 601cx's in fairing and GZ 7x10's in the lids. Picked up a Focal Impulse 432 and planned to bridge it for the MMats in the fairing and run the Lids and lowers off my BT4250. Also have a RF DSR-1 in the equation. Everything seemed simple enough that I could do it...
I ended up picking up a used set of DBC lowers and tweeter pods with MMats 801 and MMats DTX26T tweets.
Option 1 Ditch the 801s and tweets and install a coax TBD. Down side Cost of coax, partially offset by sale of 801's , pods and tweets.
Option 2 Use the supplied caps and run the tweets and 801's as if they were coax. Downside is can not tune tweets separately
Option 3 Run the fairing and lowers off channel 1 and 2 of 4250, GZ's on 3 & 4 and use the Impulse to run the tweets. Downside compromised tune of 601s and 801's
Option 4 Suggested by my friend, audio guru and addiction driver Andy Denton, Wire channels 1 and 2 in MONO for fairing and lowers, so that they are independently tuned, GZ's in stereo on 3 &4 and the tweets on the lowers in stereo off 2 channels of the Impulse. Upside everything gets it own tune, no added cost. Downside or a least novice concern, anything MONO just don't seem right! and the wiring is beyond me...
Option 1 -5 - Beyma's- Downside cost and weather treatment.
Not looking to compete just looking for a great sounding rider system . I listen to mostly classic rock - Stones and Grateful Dead...
Posting up for more options and or suggestions...

You heard my bike in St Louis? Everything is wired in mono except the TP, everything is on its own channel for DSP purposes.

That's the closest alligator to the boat.

On the recommendation of a few folks I bought a mono amp to power 2 speakers. I don't think I can hear stereo at 70-80 mph with my half helmet on anyways. Was also told that in sled audio I should be looking for power not stereo or mono.

Hard to tell the difference between mono and stereo when speakers are 30" apart, especially in an open/moving environment.

Update - Thanks Forum brothers for your guidance. My main man offered up an easy fix. Trade my DBC pods and tweets for a new set of 801cx's. They should serve me well for a rock'n rider, plus I can do the install and wiring myself. I can bridge the Focal Impulse amp and have plenty of power to run them.
Thanks again.
