Hey guys,i have wetsounds 6 xs 650s 1 xs 10 fa woofer in boat,1 pair pro 60 on tower. rev 10 and another 10 fa sub coming soon,will have sync 6 sync 4 and sync 2 amps,was wondering would i need another amp to run this package ,if not what amp would run what.thanks.On another note have you seen fly board check it out on you tube.nothing like swimming with the dolphins.can you say headache'''.

With 3 amp, you have a couple options. One question though, are the Pro60's coming down?

1)
Syn-6: respectable power for the 6 XS-650's and will deliver 300 watts to each XS-10fa

Syn-4: 400 watts to each Rev-10 when run in 2chnl mode.

This option is a solid in-boat system and maximizes the tower.

2)
Syn-6: Rev-10s bridged on chnl 1/2 and 3/4 for 200W each and the XS-10fa on chnls 5/6 for 300 watts each.

Syn-4: 6 XS-650's.

Decent power to the Rev-10's, but provides a stronger in-boat setup.

3)
Trade the Syn-6 for another Syn-4.
Run the Rev-10's on one Syn-4 for 400W to each

Run the 6 xs-650's on the other Syn-4

Run the pair of XS-10fa's bridged on the Syn-2 for 350W to each.

This option is strong solid power for all 3 zones.

Would it be wrong to leave the pro 6os up there to compete with the rev 10s ,or could i just tone the revs down untill i get another pair of 10s down the line .Thanks

If it were me, I would pull the Pro60's. Next to the REV-10, I see them contributing little. You will like the sound of the Rev-10 by itself.

[ds@earmark]

For example, if you add a second pair of REV10s with the appropriate power you will be rewarded with a noticable increase in output.
However, when combining a pair of Pro60s with a pair of REV10s its a different story. The REV10 has more than three times the surface area which translates to a speaker that covers a wider bandwidth and is considerably louder from a sensitivity standpoint and from a power handling standpoint. As a result the Pro60's contribution will barely show up as audible and yet you will have devoted alot of power and current to it. Dissimilar speakers just don't sum effectively.

xxx sub.

well looks like pro 60s coming down will up grade sub to xxx 12 any suggestions where to put it under drivers helm already has a 10 fa and 1 650 ,plus all computer boxes and stuff.limited space for sub box. ride 2011 z1.Thanks again.

I was in the same boat you were in but i had pro 80s. Sold them and went with 4 rev 10s. If your going with the xxx you might want to try to switch what amps you are thinking. I run a syn 1 for just the xxx and I think it even wants more power. I also ran the xs-650 off channels 1-4 on the syn 6 but it is a night and day difference to run the xs650s on the power they want. I ran a syn 4 to just 4 inside boat speakers. In my opion what I would do for amps is a syn 1 for the xxx, a syn 4 for the pair of rev 10s, a syn 4 for 4 of the xs650 and a syn micro for the bow xs650s. That system would sound great. I also had to bite the bullet and sell my syn 6 because it just didn't work if you are thinking of putting up a second pair of rev 10s.

Here are my thought. If you are indeed going with a XXX, then as noted in your other thread, I would put it in place of the xs-10fa and probably not even worry on using the xs-10fa. I would also consider the Syn-1 and a ported enclosure for the XXX as it really shines with that combo. At this point, the 2 chnls of the Syn-6 would net really be needed (although they could be used for in-boats). So I agree with Jz, go with a Syn-4 for the in-boats.

If you where thinking of running the XXX on the Syn-6, then I would consider going with the XS-12 instead. Its a little more SQ then the XXX, and the 600W from the Syn-6 is perfect. The XS-12 will perform nicely in either a sealed or ported.

I wouldn't hesitate to run all 6 in-boats off a single Syn-4. This keeps you down to 3 amps for the entire system and there is no lose of performance at the speakers either. With the pair in the bow wired to half the amp, you will still have the ability to tune them down from the 4 in the main cabin for those riders up front that might want a little less volume, especially since the speakers are up in the coaming pads, rather then close to the floor as they are in the main cabin.

You can also use the Syn-2 that you will already have, to power the XXX!

Agreed. Didn't know he had a syn 2 already. Just a little under power but not bad at all.

The Syn-2 would be the standard amp driving the OEM supplied pro60. The added headroom of the Syn-1 would be nice, but the difference in wattage between the Syn-1 and Syn-2 would not greatly effect the perceived output.
