So, I bought an ExoX 1200.4. At 12.6 volts, it puts out 200 watts at 4ohms and 300 watts at 2ohms. My plan is to use channels 1 and 2 for my rear WDX8motos to their own channel. Channel 3 in parallel to lowers (SV165S) and channel 4 to fairing Mmats 601.4. I am a little concerned that the wattage is too high for the mmats, so I can cut the low and high pass to give it some extra room. Any other ideas? At the moment, I don't have any other 6.5s laying around. My horns will still run off the SD 250.2.

Reduce the output to the mmats in the dsp.

Yeah I can do that. If my math is right, turned on, the channel will get about 375 at 2 ohms, so call it 182 watts per speaker. Maybe -1.5 or -2 db should do it. I bet the Hertz finally wake up.

So you're running both lowers in parallel on channel 3? And both fairing speakers in parallel on channel 4? You lose the left right stereo that way...

I am aware of that. It also gives me the advantage of getting away from 3 amps, and still controlling the power output from the location. I'm not putting together a show bike, just one I can hear loud and clear at 80+.

Hell, my ears are so bad, I'm lucky I can hear them at all.

I think that same guy has ports on his lowers and got into a pi$$ing match with BabyBoy on fakebook. Stereo is overrated!, Especially if you are try to squeeze as much power out of your amps as possible. Although if they paid for a 1200 watt amp and only use 700 watts of it, that is on them.

What's the old saying? (The 7 P's) Prior Proper Planning Prevents Pi$$ Poor Performance!
