System on UTV need some amp help...

[sackamous 10+ year member]

Ok guys im getting ready to buid a roof for my rzr and feel like being a bit ridiculous with it.

Current plan is to run

4 - Kicker KM654LCW (6 1/2" 2way 65watt rms 4ohm with leds)

2 - Kicker KM84LCW (8" 2way 150watt rms 4ohm with leds)

2 - Kicker 41KMW10LC (10" Subs 150watt rms 4ohm with leds)

I alread have 2 4ohm wake tower speakers on it rated 250rms.

Im thinking of running 4 seprate amps for 2 reasons.

1 I could put switches on the remotes and turn on and off speakers like I want.

2 It will be way easer to get 4ohm power running 4 cheap 4channel amps bridged into 2 channels.

Or would I be better off running 2 giant amps like a PA BAMF or a Hifonics

I figure I need Roughley 8 channles with around 150RMS at 4ohms to run the system like I want to (or 6 and a sub channel).

1 for each tower

1 for each 8

1 for each sub

1 for the 6.5s

1 for adding something later (prob a **** pile of the matching 4s around the outside of the box looking out.

Couple Amps Im looking at (would like to cap it around $500 total on amps)

4-4channel bridged to 2 at 4OHM and claimed watts

RE DTX 750.4 160watts a channel

MB Quard RA480.4 240watts a channel

PA RZ4-1200D 300watts a channel

Soundstream TA4.480 240 watts a channel

MTX Terminator TN400/4 150 watts a channel

JBL MA6004 160 watts a channel

Orion CO1000.4 240 watts a channel

Massive audio V1000.4 160 watts a channel

Clarion XR 2420 180 watts a channel

Or 2 - 4 channel amps using all 4 channels at 4ohm

Orion CO 2000.4 150 watts

HIfonics Zeus 2000.4 250watts

Soundtream TN4.900D 150watts

Any of these an obvious "duh buy this stupid" answer? Or is there something im missing? I would love to do a JL setup, or wetsounds, but just cant spend that kind of money.

Oh last question my box will only allow for .85cf^3 and the subs say 1cf^3 sealed will that be a big problem. I can strech the box down a little to get the rest but dont want it to be too big.

PIC of rzr for reference (can see the wake towers mounted on bar behind the seats.)



Design of box, roof will come off box will get built inside of cage, roof will go back on top. Should show about 1/2 the cage bars all the way around. Notice the roof is way wider than the cauge in the back, may extend the top of box in this part and do something for the 4s mentioned.



LOL Size reference pic, if your not fimilar with them it dosnt look that big in first pic, (lol notice someones feet under it in the back and you cant see them behind it in first pic) Im about 5' 11" ish, tires on it are around 33inchs tall.

Seems like way to many different sizes and an odd arrangement to me, I would do 4 6.5" and the subs run a 5 channel and call it a day. Should be able to get plants loud(the speakers are like a foot from your head). I'd guess if you get to crazy your going to have to deal with cancellation issues. Just my 2 cents, kick *** ride by the way!

Yea, the reason i wanted the 8s was i figured they would carry the vocals and mids better and get way louder than the 6.5s. A lot of the time when im in it, most of it will be off, thats the reason i was thinking seperate amps on switches. On big rides though usualy it just turns into a big party at night, wheather its on a sand bar on the river, or the big pit at the mud park and when that happens I want it to get stupid loud cause I wont be sitting in it. Right now the 2 wake towers are running on this lil throw away amp http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PLMRMP1A-2-Channel-Waterproof-Amplifier/dp/B003HH9FIQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417963517&sr=8-2&keywords=PLMRMP2A which was a quick fix cause i wanted something waterprof with a volume knob. Its loud enough just that sitting in it. Its not worth turing on if your going to get out of it though. I was supprised it plays well when completely underwater lol.

And thanks I love my bike lol!

What kind of cancelation issues would I get? I was thinking running the subs LPF at 50 and the HPF on the 8s at 40ish. The 6.5s and towers at maybe 60ish. Like I said at this point I was thinking make it loud lol, but maybe im going at it the wrong way.

Oh not sure if I mentioned it in first post, but im going to put the amp(s) in the roof so not worried about them being marine or waterproff. The will be sealed from the outside world.

Here is a link to the 6.5 and 8s if you need more info on them to be helpful.

LOL Theres always this option, but I do actually ride it, so I figured id be a little more reasonable than that...

 

[sackamous 10+ year member]

Any other thoughts on amps or this setup?

 

[sackamous 10+ year member]

Still curious about the cancelation issues tim mentioned, if anyone can shed some light on that for me I would appericeate it.

 

[sackamous 10+ year member]

Decided to dump the 8s and just do 4-6.5s and 2 10s. I went with this amp
