I sent the PBR300x2 back.
I am looking for a 4 channel amp, that will push the Infinity Kappa's in the fairing, and also in the Tour Pac Pods.

I have the mounting rings and a set of Infinity speakers sitting here ready to go in the fairing now. I just need to get the right amp ordered.

 

I can't see how anyone would pay $500 for 1oo watts per channel. If you run 6 speakers, 4 of them would only get 50 watts....

I LOVE to spend money on audio stuff, but there's no way I'd buy this amp.

 

He's only running 4 speakers so they'd each get 100 watts. Personally, I'd look at a 600 watt amp to give you the option of powering 6 speakers but the cost goes up.

 

Going to be tough to find a 600 watt 4 channel amp without breaking the bank and keeping FM reception. Something has got to give. This is going to sound counterintuitive But I think from a value standpoint his best option for what he wants to do is to buy the 4180 and call it a day. He can then run 4, 6 or 8 speakers off one amp and maintain his FM. Otherwise when he adds his lids this winter he will have to buy another 2 channel amp.

 

Thanks for all the ideas.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a 4180?

My passsenger doesn't like the tour pak pod speakers, because they are against "vibrate against her legs", so I'm thinking of disconnecting them and just running the fairing speakers and the speaker lids. What is your opinion on this?

Also, another question:
The Infinity Kappas are 2 ohm speakers and the Pioneers 6x9 speakers are 4 ohm. Does this play any part in my amp selection?

 

Sorry hivoltg I'm assuming every one here is familiar with the 4180 from biketronics. You can go here and read about it: Probably too expensive but it's a one and done proposition.

Not sure how the tour pak speakers vibrate against your girls legs? I would think you are referring to the lid speakers? Anyway to answer your second question as long as you have a 2 or 4 ohm compatible amp you can run both 2 ohm and 4 ohm speakers.

 

Biketronics 4180 amplifier. 4x180 watts at 4 ohm, 4x230 at 2 ohms.

Not if you run them on separate channels and the amp is 2 ohm stable.

 

Thanks for the info.

Yes, the Biketronics amp would ruin my budget for this project.

Is the PBR300x4 an option for my set up? If not, what would you recommend?

 

The PBR300X4 is not compatible with the Infinity 62.11i speakers due to them being 2 ohm speakers. Secondly it will not generate enough power to feed the Pioneers in the lids effectively. In your situation if it were me I'd Just go straight Kicker. KSC67 for the fairing and KS693's for the lids powered with the X4. You'll be happy with that set up!

 

The problem with that is, I already have the Infinity Kappas sitting here in the shop. I bought them because I understand they are the cream of the crop for fairing speakers.

What about running 2 PBR300x2 amps? Whould that be the better answer for my situation?
