Default Just a little help

I have a 2018 RGU that I am going to upgrade the audio on. Fairing and lids only at this time. I had planned on Mmats 601.cx and 690.cx with a Stinger amp. I am now rethinking the fairing. The Lids and 690's are on order. Can a bridgred 800.4 drive the Gz coaxial's off of the front two channels. . What is needed to get the stock radio to connect to the amp. Thanks

Yes you can bridge/parallel wire the GZ coax, however you'd want the 2 ohm version of that amp. The GZ speaker is 4 ohm, but when wired in parallel creates a 2ohm load. The 4 ohm amp is not 2ohm stable when bridged.

At that point you'd have to bridge parallel the 690s as well to create that 2ohm load.

To complete that you'll want a Pac Sni15 and the head unit flashed with either the RF, Soundz or HD 8/2 flash.

If it were me, I'd consider the SD1200 amp over the 800. This option would allow the 4ohm version wired straight up, leave headroom and options available for future changes.

That's a good amp for ur situation but the wrong ohm version for ur situation.

If u wire parallel and bridged w 4 ohm speakers u need the 2 ohm version of the amp. U cannot bridge the 4 ohm version w a 2 ohm load. Paralleling two 4 ohm speakers equals a 2 ohm load.

1200.4 EVOX 2 ohm is the one u want.
