Hey man, your getting back to being a big ***** again. You aren't the only person that can give advice on here. GZ's with 400w from an SD isn't the only setup available. If you haven't personally ran JL amps before, then you don't know what your talking about.

BTW. Some of the fastest sports cars in the world run V6s lol. Nissan GT-R ring any bells?

You're just a plethora or information yourself. Maybe one day I can get to your level.

You and gypsy are the only two guys in the audio world only sending 200 250 watts to them but yes you know what's best. Your ears will tell you a lot then again some of you may have really old or bad ears 👂
Yea I have old ears, yea im only sending 220 to my yellow baskets in lowers, yea im about the only guy running my whole setup in stereo also. Yea im leaving some power unused by running it in stereo. Would it sound better with more power, not always the case. The more power you send the less frequency range you will have. I can hear the stereo separation at any speed from my front and my lids just not from my bags. You have advised on many post to send 400w to yellow baskets and although it can be done, it wont last long unless it is tuned properly. I will say it again, wont last long if not tuned properly. I have no idea what you have done in the past, what you have run in the past or how much experience you actually have with motorcycle audio. I have seen that you quote Carlos a lot along with others yet I doubt that you have actually have done any of the things you tell others that need to be done. My suggestion to you is, stop telling people what they need to do until you have actually done it. Dont tell people about products until you have run that product including a stinger amp that you talked about in another thread. I see your enthusiasm and will commend you on that but telling people on an open forum to run 400w to yellow baskets just because Carlos says it can be done is just bad advice unless you know how to tune those speakers. Most people come here to ask about audio because they want to learn. The regulars here including myself will not offer ANY advise unless they have run said setup or at least tuned it.

BTW the v6 post was unnecessary and childish.

Ok I will step off my soapbox now.

Don't get me wrong I do put power to speakers well above rms and above program power for some of the pro audio speakers. The gz coax i'm sure will take 400! However, I would cut the horn wires and run a separate amp to the horns. I have sent 400 to the red basket 6.5's and they took it with out a problem. I have not sent 400 watts to the gz coax unless I had it split off from the horn, I then would band pass the woofer from 120-4000 ish hz. My opinion, but a 6.5 playing below 100 hz with 400 watts is a magic smoke scenario for sure.
