2400.4 - 4 ohm or 2 ohm?
Ok here's where you have to think outside the box. If you go with the 4ohm version, you can still parallel the GZ's and run them on Ch1 and so on. Look at the specs on the 4ohm version at 2ohm versus the 2ohm version at 2ohm. You're leaving a lot of power on the table going with the 2ohm version. With the 4ohm version, you have the ability to run 8 sets of 4ohm speakers, paralleled to 2ohm, and give every last one of them up to 335 watts if you needed to.

The 4 ohm version definitely puts more power on the table to be used by my fairing and lowers.
The only reason I was considering the 2 ohm at all was the ability to bridge channel 3/4 to take advantage of the 1 x 1200 at 2 ohm to dedicate for lids or bag speakers. Figured that would give me more choices for running a pair of 4 ohm speakers I could use in the lids or bags if I upgrade latter.

If you go in the bags that gives you 600 watts per speaker which will be light on watts for a 10. 2 8's in each bag would get 300 watts each and still light on watts. A single 8 in each bag is purely a waste of time. And a 6x9 in the lid and an 8 in the bag would share the same tuning if you went 2ohm. Just food for thought.

So that brings us back to the 4 ohm version probably being the better all around choice.
Are there any good 8" options for the lids that would work well off channel 3/4 off the 4 ohm version?

Had I gone with the 2400 I would have gone 4 ohm.

and lowers on the other. Im just still a fan of running stereo instead of mono. I know that I am leaving power on the table but stereo to me is better SQ than power any day of the week.
well Im glad you are running them that way instead of fairing on one channel

You're using a dsp correct...the speakers will not be in mono. You can select L&R input in the setup of the dsp so the speakers actually get stereo sound, just not the stereo separation. Why folks are spending this kinda money for sled audio and still hung up on stereo separation in the wind at 70mph is mind boggling.
