John,..................when you wire in series for 6 or 8 speakers, what does that do to the output watts of the amp. For instance,..............if you ran 8 speakers on the Rokker amp,...........are you still sending 125 watts to each speaker ??? And, does it make the amp work harder ??

Thanks !!

 

I haven't watched the videos, and don't know the specs of the Rokker amp. I can tell you that no amp cares about how many speakers it's hooked to, it's all about the load. The total load to each output would determine how hard the amp would be pushed or worked (however you want to word it).

Now if you take a 4 channel amp designed for 4 ohms at 125w per channel, run 8- 2 ohm speakers in series, the amp is "seeing" only a 4 ohm load per channel, so it would put out 125 watts, each speakler on that channel using 62.5 watts of the power. If on speaker were to be a 1 ohm speaker and the other a 3 ohm speaker, then you still have the same load but one speaker would use 31.25 watts while the other would use 93.75 for the total of 125 that the amp produced.

If you run in parallel this all changes. Anyway I know I'm not John, but I hope this explains it, and helps.

 

although the amp wants to 'see" a certain resistance in ohms.

there is only so much current available

absolutely right ,,,, and the J&M amplifiers have the highest power, current & audio gain available of any of the amplifiers on the market today for your Harley ,,,, see http://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=45 ,,,,,
