Well after reading all the posts on here about the amp and the many, many post about speakers, I went ahead and got the:

PBR300x2
Infinity Kapa 62.11 speakers

Got it all installed (thanks to UN and GP and all the other that posted instructions) did have to modify it a little since I did not get the component setup. Otherwise instructions were great.

Ended up wiring up the speakers for (2) Ohm, according to the build sheet on the amp its says:

187 x 2 @ 2ohm (is this how I wired it)?
122 x 2 @ 4ohm

This is how I wired it:

Amp:

R+ went to plus on both speakers
R- went to minus on both speakers

L+ (empty)
L - (empty)

Hope thats right?

Set the gains and it sounds good but wont really know til I hit the road and check it out at 80 or so…

When turning on and off the bike I noticed that I am getting a delayed thump sound coming from the speakers (is this normal)? Should I be concerned?

Thanks all,

VB

 

I don't think that's correct. R is the right channel and goes to the right speaker. L is the left channel and goes to the left speaker.

 

Wrong...the speakers are 2 ohm, just wire them up negs to negs & pos to pos on all !!

 

Sounds like you bridged it. You will only be playing one channel.

Did you run the high level speaker inputs or RCA's? If you ran the high levels, did you run a remote turn on wire?

 

The ohm rating of the speaker is not something you can change by changing up the wiring. Typically when bridge ing a amp it is the pos of one channel and the neg of the other channel. This can only be done on amps that will allow it, not all amps are bridgeable. Sounds to me like you just wired up both speakers to one channel which means your only using half of your amps power!

 

Yeah. He's right. Looking back at the way you hooked it up, you are only playing the right channel. Take the left speaker wires and hook them to the L+ and L-.

The pop might be coming from the remote on if you are using that in conjunction with the high level inputs.

 

Ok thanks all I will rewire per:

R+ to right speaker +
R- to right speaker -

L+ to left speaker +
L- to left speaker -

With this setup will I be running 2 channels?

Sorry for all the noob questions I am not very good at audio stuff.

As for the remote wire I am not using one for the amp and I am not running RCA connections I followed the instructions posted on the site for wiring up and it said to cut off the RCAs so I guess that would be hi level inputs

 

Now ya got it !!!
