Default I Need Advice....

As I said before I have HK head unit which will be changed a lil later and I have the rokker 250 with the 7.25's in the fairing with the mids and tweets in the grill .....im gonna replace with the soundstream pn4.520 also and I an gonna roll with the infinity kappas 6.5 and gauge tweeters but not right this moment my question is I am gonna do a 6x9 (prob pioneer ts-d6902r) inside both bags can I get away with hooking the 6x9's up to the 250 rokker for now with the 7.25's and possibly the rokker gauge tweeters? But the tweets can wait mainly worried about the 6x9's for now but input on with or without tweeters will help...Thanx

kdawg187, assuming you're talking about the J&M 7.25" speakers;

you're going to run into and ohm load issue with that configuration in parallel so you'll need to wire the 7.25" and 6x9s in series which will increase it's ohm load the amp sees and the amp won't put out as much power this way. But is doable.

tweeters will have very minimal if any effect with the ohm load the amps sees so yes you can connect those as well.

So basically i'll b wasting my time cause it will sound like garbage....so just wait till I get the soundstream PN4. 520? Also would the soundstream amp with the infinity kappa 6.5's in the fairing with pioneer ts-d6902r in the bags and gauge tweeters be a decent setup?

Yes! Had this setup. Clarity + Bass = NICE! You won't need the tweets!

Did you adjust the tweeter setting on your Kappa's, and if so do you have a recommendation?

Can you Adjust the tweeters on the Kappas (0 to +3) after they are installed, and do you have a recommended setting?
