doesn't really matter how you wire them whether series or parallel, they still want power. IMO no less than 100w per speaker would be optimal for these speakers.

Pioneer- My bad, thanks...
Nutz- your correct....
Pearl- silly or NOT... was the reason I asked the question... but thx for your .02
Guys this is the correct amp: http://poweracoustik.com/store/produ...ca4-1600d.html
I heard this amp paired the focals... and my gawrd.. This little fellow does well... IMO way better than SS amps...Which I had as well...

4 pair of speakers or 5 pair of speakers?
from one description I get 4 pair, from another I get 5 pair
2 pair of titan IIs in the fairing 6.5 and 7.1 correct?
kappas in the lowers
7.1 in the rear pods
6x9s in the lids
if I'm reading that correctly, it's 5 pair of speakers

ok one more time because I think I misread and before I throw in my .02 on this.

1 pair of titan IIs in the fairing 6.5 (facing the handlebars-inner) and 7.1 stock location
kappas in the lowers
alpine tweeters
7.1 in the rear pods
6x9s in the lids
All are 4 ohms and I'd like to wire to this amp... CA4-1600D.... If not enough power I'm will to get another amp....

the rears are easy. simply wire both pair in parallel and to the rear outputs of the amp.

ok, so your front speakers are going to be the ones that give you fits because with that particular configuration of 3 (4ohm) speakers per side you're either going to wind up in parallel at 1.3ohm which will drive that amp into protection mode or you're going to wind up wiring in a parallel/series configuration which will then put your ohm load at 6. Neither of these configurations are going to be ideal or work well.

yeah I'd highly recommend that. another thing worth mentioning. I've never run a series+parallel configuration where speaker phase issues didn't rear their ugly head.
Just not a good idea.

here's my thoughts on this setup.
get a 2 channel amp to run your lids only with plenty of power
use the amp you have to run the lowers and the rear pods in parallel to create a 2 ohm load on the rear amp outputs
run your fairing speakers in parallel on the front channel of the amp

Spec wise, if at all accurate, would put 100 watts to each speaker. Another one of those '1600watt amps' , that's hopefully gonna put out 800....best of luck !!!
Hope you get what your looking for !
