Default SS4.520D question
Based on the reviews I've seen here I just pulled the trigger on a the SS 4.520d. I'll be using it with:

Sony DSX S310BTX head unit
Biketronics module
2 sets of Pioneer TS-D1602R (Fairing, Lower Fairings)

When funds allow, I want to add some 6x9 lids. My question is: will I be able to power all 6 speakers off the SS 4.520d?

Thanks in advance

Yes. They are 4 ohm, so when you add your lids, run the fairing and lower speakers in paralell off the front channels to give a 2 ohm load, and your 6x9's off the rear channels.

That's how my current system is. Polk db651's in my fairing and lowers, MM651 in the tour pack pods.

Soon to have a "for sale" sign on them.

The speakers or the bike?

Really am impressed with these Pioneers for the price.

Speakers, amp, stock radio, CB module, stock tour pack pods, and tank console with CB socket. I'm hoping I can get the wiring harness that goes all the way to the tour pack and tank console out as a single piece too.

Biketronics. 7.1's for fairing, 6.5's for lowers, 7.1 speaker pods and the 6x9's for the bags with the Hogtunes lids. I also have a pair of Pioneer 6x9's I'm going to have facing the rear wheel running off a pbr300x2. Kenwood BT955hd head unit with V-twin install kit and Biketronics controller.

Just remember: When you wire 4 speakers in parallel at 2 ohms, they are only getting 65 watts per speaker !!

Well got it all wired up today. Pioneer 6.5's in the fairing and lower fairings. Got some of the Mutazu bag lids with some Pioneer 6x9's. All I can say is this thing thumps now, 90 MPH on the interstate with my FF helmet on and its clear as a bell.
