Default Target Voltage

I will be installing My new system this week. 2018 RGU I will be getting the RF flash. SD 1200.4 2 ohm, fairing GZ 6.5 coaxial, rears Mmats 690.cx. I will run this bridged parallel. What would be a good starting output voltage? Thanks.

Wire the GZs parallel & bridged w puts u at 2 ohms thus set about 32 vac on those by using the appropriate bridged terminals on amp.

I wouldn't bridge the Mmats initially. Run them straight up in stereo and set those at about 25 vac.

I dont think the mmats even need 160w. I ran them straight up on a stinger 700 and was very conservative on the gains to get lower on the crossovers.
