Audio upgrade help?
Not sure if this is the right thread, and don’t bash me for these questions but I’m trying to learn. So everyone knows the stock audio sucks. I’ve got a 2020 streetglide and I believe I’m set on upgrading to a four speaker setup with fairing and lower upgrades running 4 Gzcf 6.5spl-neo and a Sound digital 1200.4-4. I’m wondering if this will be enough power to run them. I’m wondering if it will be ok to run channel to channel or if I should be running them “bridged.” If so how do I go about doing it? Since the speakers are 4 ohm wouldn’t that produce 2 ohm? Would the amp hold that? What size wire should I be running to the amp to support that power? Is 8 gauge enough? Is the stock wiring in the speaker pods good enough or should I put in better speaker wire? And finally what’s the equation and proper way to check wattage coming out of amp? I’ve got a volt meter but no specialty tools for this. Does anyone know a great amp mount for the 1200?

sorry, I’m still getting used to the forums. I looked for an audio section and couldn’t seem to find one
