I am getting ready to install this SS TN4.900D amp. The specs on it state that @ 2 ohms, it puts out 225 watts per channel. The 62.11i is rated at 225w max. The TS-D 1702R will handle 300 watts max. I figure since I am so happy with the TS-D 6902r, and I have the 1702R on the wifes bike, maybe I should go with those and remove the 62.11s.

The only reason I am concerned is because that SS amp will be pushing 225 watts RMS to 62.11 speakers that can only handle 225 max. If I have my volume turned up loud, that amp will exceed that 225 for sure. What are you guys' thoughts on this???

 

you can always reduce Gain on the amp @ your max HU volume setting to reduce "RMS" output to speakers. Better too much Power than not enough, right?

where are you putting the Amp?

I have not had the opportunity to "bench test" the 4.900 but SS 4.520 came out a bit lower than specs said (test was conducted with resistive load, clean sine test signal and o scope)... like probably most amps will.

 

I'd say the sound quality of the 62.11I is probably better than the Pioneer speakers but only your ear can tell you that. I wouldn't worry about the W as you likely never be at that range anyways.

The big thing I would pay attention to hence the reason for my comment above, is the sensitivity ratings of the 2 speakers.

88db Pioneer vs 95db on the Infinity. Granted they are measured 1w/1m vs 2.83v but in the end of the equation the Infinity will still play roughly 3 or 4db louder than the pioneer and IMO the Infinity speakers are a much cleaner sounding speaker.

I like the Pioneer 6x9s (TS-D6902R) because they sound pretty good and their bass output is to be reckoned with. Aside from that in a sound quality vs sound pressure test, hands down IMO goes to Infinity.

 

Okay, I just wanted to make sure I wasnt in danger of blowing the infinity speakers with the 225 watt rms. And as far as mounting the amp, I will have one in each bag. The left side amp will power all the speakers on the left and the right side vice versa. I plan on adding an additional pair of 6.5 kappas in the lower fairings that I have yet to buy because I have a heavy breather intake that wont work with the fairing lowers. So all in all, I will have 2 pairs of infinity kappa 62.11s and 2 pair of pioneer ts-d 6x9s and two SS 4.900 amps pushing them.

 

What were the results of the bench test?? Just curious.

 

not that it matters but I find it interesting that you're using left amp for left side and right amp for right side. So are you going to configure your RCA inputs to be front and rear or right and left fade?

 

I realized that after I typed it. I meant front and back...lol. I was thinking something else as I was typing.

 

it's beer o'clock time

keep in mind Ultra and I cannot go thru the same door regarding how to dial in amp. But I followed similar bench test process as the youtube video mentioned in one of the posts in the thread above. findings are in the thread... I am still happy with the SS4.520 (would like to drive the Pioneers a bit more though)

 

then step it up to the TN4.900D.

 

Ultra; where do you have your TN4.900Ds mounted? I'm guessing they're both in your TP?
