RF amp wiring, need help
I'm mounting my winter project, an RF amp with 6,5" speakers in fairing and lowers. I'm using a Pioneer head unit.
My question is how do i wire all this stuff for running 4 speakers in front and 2 in TP?
I will use RCA for the amp but 1 or 2 RCA set (got 3 on HU)?
could i use rear speaker wire direct from HU to connect my TP speakers?
Please help me to enjoy my new amp.

Running them in parallel will cut the impedence down next to nothing, and may cause issues for the amp.
Running the tour pak speaks from the head unit, and the 4 fronts from the line level (RCA) to external amp should work fine (if your HU allows this configuration).
Depending on speaker impedence and amp load capability (check documentation) should determine series or parallel configuring the front speaks.
Post model #'s of amp and head unit and we can draw a picture with your speaker set up.

My bike is down doing upgrades at a buddies home shop, next to mine is a SG upgrade, this guy has the new speakers in the lids, awsome!
He has a RF for the fairing speakers, and the lower fairing speakers, which leaves out the lid speakers for using the amp.
He purchased a second RF amp and is installing it to run the rear lid speakers, I can't wait to see how this one is going to workout?
Man, did I mention this SG is Awsome!

You could run the front 4 speakers in series (2 per channel).
Running them in parallel will cut the impedence down next to nothing, and may cause issues for the amp.

I connected my speakers (fairing and lowers) to output of the amp. Do i have to connect 2 RCA (front and rear) or only 1?
I will use normal rear output of the head unit for speaker pods in TP.
Is it good?
