Consider My Options
I have a couple of different scenarios running through my head, as I keep trying to plan before I buy. Keep in mind, my goal is not a competion bike, but usable loud sound quality while touring.
1. Keep my PRV 8MB500v2s in the lids, buy a new evo x 1200.4 2 ohm, buy Fairing Factory 8" lowers and put in my DS18 SM8.2 (loud and good midrange), keep my 4 horns on the 250.2, and use either my mmats or Herts SV165s in the upper fairings. At 14v, this should bridge the lids at about 250 each run in parallel. The DS18s are 2ohm in parallel at 1 ohm getting about 200 each, then the fairing mids in parallel drawing 2 ohms drawing about 125 watts each. This gets expensive, and it still sticks me at 250 on those PRVs, but gives a super strong front stage, and 1 channel open incase I add TP pods.
2. Buy an 800.4, power my Mmats in the upper fairing, sv165s in the lower fairings (still about 125 watts per speaker) and hook the 4 horns up to 1 channel, then buy some Yellow Baskets and either run them off my 600.1 2ohm in parallel. This is cheaper, and still saves one channel for potential TP pods.
I feel like I answered my own question as I was writing this. What have I not considered. I have a wiring strategy, using the good stuff I have and replacing the cheap stuff with quality gear, and using 8s that will fit in the AB lids.
