my stinger says its good for 125x4 at 4ohms but the sheet said it did 137 on channels 1&2 when they tested it at final inspection. I think if you could get as many watts as 135 to the Ground Zero youd be in a pretty good place maybe not pushing them to the max and maybe it will be a little roof on the app open time but I dont think he would be terribly light as far as the sound they produce with that kind of power. But I now have a 1200.4 in my faring because I had the same exact set up as you and I kept getting the same response that youre getting now when I asked what I should do so I bit the bullet and Im glad I did
So you're running the GZ's in the fairing and Mmats in the rear TP pods? If so, how do you like it? And what bike...a RG as well?

I think youll be pleased with yours. Power is important though. Underpowered speakers can sound dull and as if something is missing or like polarity is off. So try your best to give them the power they need and youll be glad you did

yes I was running GZ in the fairing and 601cxs in the rear pods until about a week ago when I replaced the MMats with GZ yellow basket mids. At the moment I have beyma in the fairing GZ coax in lowers and yellow basket mids in rear pods. I love the way I have it set up now. But it sounded great the other way too with the MMats in rear pods. I have an ultra limited by the way not a RG.

Sorry for the late reply John I was off the grid for a bit just replied to your PM.
In a nutshell I was running 140 cheap watts to my four front speakers and noticed a slight increase in volume and clarity when I switched over to the Arc 600.4. Also I regained a lot of space which was a deciding factor for me also.
I got my 600 used and it has been doing fine. The only thing I notice is when I first turn the bike on I can hear the fan make noise for a minute or two before it settles down but it's never been a problem. I've had it for a couple of years and it was a few years old when I bought it.
