This is a flash that will turn on all 4 outputs of your bike and have the flattest curve. 8 speaker 2 amp...

No do not run speakers off the head unit that is why I put the 500/4 (4 channel amp)

Yes..
When ran in parallel it will be a 4 ohm load so you can bridge the amp I recommended, they will split the 250 watts from channels 3 and 4 that are bridged.

The Audio Legions come with crossovers for the tweeters, should I install them?

Do I need adapters to fit the 6.5’s into the batwing fairing?

Can you give me settings for the Faitals to “band-pass” in their wheel house?

The last set I installed I used the cross overs.

The JL amp only shows the output configuration you suggested (uppers straight up, lowers parallel and bridged)with a single channel input.

I assume I need a dual channel input from the DSP to the amp so I can band pass the lowers correct?

And would this be a 3 channel?

yes, 3 channel. yes you can run 2 channel off the dsp (link the channels in the DSP software) if you have them available or run a "Y" type rca from the dsp to the amp.

Thanks for your help.

Glad it worked out.. Those speaker are pleasant to listen to. Not harsh and made for bikes, pretty warm for a 6.5.
