Default Mmatts ?

Just picked up a Street Glide and I know these are solid amps but not enough to figure out which amp. I am putting a set of lowers on and initially doing the front of the bike. In time, possibly adding subs, the Faital 8" in the bags. Just not sure yet.
Which amp would be the one to go with ?

Thanks but MMatts are an incredible value and outstanding amp, I have run SD and paid far far more. My preference is Mmatts.

You are right but why ask then if you already know?

165's lowers and up top. Just incase I end up with a Faital subs in the bags, I just want to be sure the amp is right.

Thanks

It depends on what model and ohm rating Faital. But most likely the Mmats LSX 2600.4.
If you went with an 8 ohm (hopefully midbass and not "sub") you could run the (4) 165's on Channels 1/2 and then bridge 3/4 to the faitials. That would give the 8's about 650 watts each and the 6.5's would have over 300 watts each available.

I've never heard Faital 8's in bags. I used to run the 10's in my bags.

Another option for 8's if you went with the 2600.4, are the DD audio 8's. They come in 2 ohm, with an enclosure kit and sound really nice.

Smart. Plan it all out. Going with 1 amp will limit you on speaker selection, one of the downfalls.

Thanks, I managed to grab a LSX1400x4 on eBay for 425 and 2 sets of SPL Show, 1 for the fairing and the lowers.
