I have a brand new PA RZ4-3000D waiting to be installed in the bag of my Road King, but I am thinking of going with the B54 instead.

I am thinking of going with the B54 because of its smaller size and it not taking up too much real estate in my bag. Also, I have heard that it is very similar to the Diamond Micro4

Any suggestions?

My build is as followed:
Wetsounds Bluetooth "Wet ****"
1 pair Pioneer - TSD6902 6x9s in Lids
1 pair of DD Audio 8s facing rear wheel
1 pair of compression horns facing rear wheel
1 pair of Pioneer - TSD1002R 4"s on crashbars

 

How do you plan on wiring these? I'd start there first.

 

The 6x9s and 8s paralleled on the rear as suggested in a previous post and the crashbar speakers and horns on front channels.

Which DD 8's?

If they're the midranges or the VO8's you are running two very different speakers in parallel. You want to run the same speaker in parallel or two speakers with very similar specs -- sensitivity, frequency range, etc.

 

I am using the VO8's. I initially was going to install the two sets of TSD6902s but changed directions and bought the VO8's.


(I need to get all this stuff installed before I get a chance to change directions again )

 

You've been watching too many Facebook videos my man!

If you run those speakers in parallel it will sound like crap. The Pioneers are somewhere in the 86-88db sensitivity range while the VO8's are in the mid 90's. That means your 8's will get louder much faster and max out in sound while the Pioneers have just begun to get loud - you will hardly hear them. The Pioneers can play as low as 40hz, the VO8's are midrange drivers....at volume they're not going to play under 80-100hz if that. I had them and with an HDP4 I had them crossed at 160hz -- no bass at all. If you're only option is to run those 8's in parallel with something then use the DD 6X9's.

 

You know, I think you've got a point...

Are you saying that the 2 pair of 6902s will be louder than the 8s? DAMMIT! It sounds like, I'm gonna end up going with my original plan.

Which amp would you suggest?

 

the DD's will be much louder but no where near the same amount of bass as your 6X9's. If you had two amps or a 6 channel amp, I would do the Pioneers inside the bags, and the DD 6X9 or the DDv6.5's and horns in your lids, then other channel to your small fairing speakers.
