Don asked if I got the bike anything for my birthday and I said no, this may be the ticket if it works on our SEEG radios. 

I went from HTunes's to the CX speakers and couldn't be happier.  Figured the bigger amp couldn't hurt anything.

Jim, a question on the new amp.

If you plug this interconnect harness/amp in on a bike with rear channels are the rears unaffected?  Or is this amp simply not to be used on a bike with rears?

Don;
The amp will not affect the rear channels. It can be used with either a 2 channel radio or a 4 channel but 0nly the front channels will be amplified. The bike I used the first system on in the pics is actually an Ultra that has the TP on a Detach kit.

That's another question Jim will need to answer Brian.  I could see this plug in amp not working with the SEEGs.  They've got that "other" radio with the amplifier harness and use the audio output from that secondary amp harness.

The original audio outputs are still there though.  So it's probably an option after all.  Nothing is ever simple is it ?

This new amp will work fine on the SEEG. IT connects to the main connector harness so the added internal amp that the seeg uses is just eliminated.

[hd-dude]

Jim will clarify.  It'll probably be as simple as plugging the intereconnect in the standard harness and then using the "other" set of speaker wires that are already tied off up close to the speakers.

You got it! Just use the standard leads that are there on the bike.

Uh oh, I think Bob's bike just got a birthday present .

The newer bikes have a 2 ohm radio/amp that connects to 2 ohm speakers.  Does Hawg-Wired now have a 2 ohm amplifier to go along with their 2 ohm speakers?

No they do not. If you use the HW amp then you will also need to use the HW 4 ohm speakers, regardless of the year.

 Built-in crossovers for maximum loudspeaker performance
 

Jim-I have the speakers (CX) with the crossovers.  What do you do with them (existing crossovers)?

Our built in amps have 2X30?

Do you have the amps in stock yet?

I am very happy with the CX clarity over the removed HTunes.  Do you think this amp will make the CX's that much better?

Thanks, Bob

Bob;
The CX speakers are better than the new SX series. They will work very well with the new amp as well. The thing to remember is that the stock CVo radio is "higher" powered than the standard radios but what they do not tell you is at what distortion rating they gave the 30 watts output. An amp with 30 watts output and a 5 or 10% distortion rating will not hold a candle to a similiar rated amp at a much lower distotion rating. The DCS HW amp is rated at 60watts per channel with a .010% Total Harmonic Distortion. What you will gain with the new amp is more volume and clarity, and yes I have a few of the new amps ready to go.

Jim,
Would there be significant performance over cost benefit to use these speakers if you're upgrading to this amp w/out any Hawg-Wired speakers?

BTW - Thanks to you (and a lot of members on this site) I'll never want to get rid of my because I'll never have all the goodies that I can go on it.

Thanks for the reply Jim.

What do you do with the CX crossovers since this amp has them built in?

Not sure I understand your question.....If its to compare the CX to the SX then I think that yes I would go to the CX speakers. They are only $50.00 more retail. The big thing with this new amp is to have a direct plug in system, no splicing or connecting any wires at all. The SX series speakers plug right into the factory speaker leads whereas the CX series speakers would require you to splice the wires in due to the external crossover. If you want a complete plug in setup then the SX speakers are the way to go.

[hd-dude]

Thanks for the reply Jim.

The amp does not have the CX x-over internal. What it has in an electronic x-over built in. You would still need the CX external x-over. Since you already have them wired in you would just plug the amp in and be done.

With the new plug and play amp system you added the SX speakers when you posted the components. However when Bob asked would the CX work you said they would and were actually better speakers. I'm wanting to know are the CX plug and play w/this amp. For $50 more then that is not that significant of a cost difference if they'll be plug and play w/this system.
