So with the decision to run 2x400.4 EVOX, my next question is how do I send the RCA signal to all 4ch? I can only send 1 set to the front and one to the rear. But the amp doesn't have an "out"...only input.

If I run an 800.4 and run the GZ & Hertz in parallel, I'll get 200w to each speaker @ 2ohms. That's the same power as bridging 2 400.4 but I take up less space in the fairing and only have to run 1 amp.

Anyone have experience running these amps @ 2ohms without issues? I know that 2ohms causes more "stress" on the amp.

so without reading back through, refresh my memory on your set up?

If Im understanding your question though, you'd run your outputs from your head unit, through a loc...(line out converter) that will convert speaker level to RCAs, then just run two RCA cables from there to your amp. If your amp supports speaker level, or you're running a DSP, you can also run directly to the amp/dsp from your HU.

I don't think I can run the 800.4 in parallel down to 2 ohms.


Kenwood deck, RCA's to Amp, 2 Hertz Neo SX in the TP & 2 GZ YB in the fairing. Was originally thinking 2 400.4 bridged to each speaker (200w a speaker). But I was wondering if I could run the 800.4 instead with the speakers wired in P down to 2ohms.

I was going to wait for a possible black Friday sale but SMS car audio provided me an offer I could not refuse...pulled the trigger!

I don't see your Hertz SX165 listed on your order. If you haven't grabbed them yet, you should be able to order them up through Visions here in Canada. Never hurts to ak them if they have a good guy price, it might help you save a few bucks.
My local Visions here in Edmonton treats me decent.
