WetSound Syn6 Question / Help

[Jasvols83]

So I just got a Wetsound Syn 6 from a friend of mine and I need some advice on how to best utilize it. 

I was told by WS that I could Bridge Channels 1&2 and 3&4 to obtain 400 watts rms that I could use for my Rev 10s and then Bridge Channel 5 and have a remaining 600 watts rms for my sub which is more than capable of handling that. Does this sound accurate?  Reason I ask is because I have tried researching on here and it seems that most people are saying bridging channels 1/2 & 3/4 will only produce 200rms which would not sound great on the Rev 10s.  I just want to clarify.

Essentially I just want to best utilize the new amp (syn6) and one of the two existing amps that I have now.

Current setup:

One pair WS Rev10 being ran on a precision power 900.4 amp (supposedly bridged to 450x2 rms, I doubt this because it does not sound the best)

Two pair of WS interiors & Alpine Sub being ran on a precision power 900.5 amp (again, it works but does not sound the best)

I am guessing most will tell me to use the Syn6 on the interiors and the sub and then go purchase a Syn4 (which would be idea and is long term plan) and use it for the Rev10s.

BUT does anyone have recommendations for using the Syn 6 and one of my other amps for my current setup?

use your current amps by selling them and buying a refurb JL 750/1 for your Rev10s here: http://creativeaudio.net/jl-audio-refurbished-hd750-1-monoblock-class-d-wide-range-amplifier-750-w/.

Its correct from one perspective. I think you may have misunderstood the info you received. Bridging 1/2 = 200W and bridging 3/4 = 200, so theres the 400W. However, its only 200W to each pod.

Although that is not by any means, pushing them to their potential, they will still sound and perform fine. Ive heard countless Rev-10's on that kind of power. You've got a quality amp and a quality speaker, it will produce a quality sound.

The ppi does bench out the advertised wattage, but this has been my experience with this setup as well. Its a price point amp for a reason.

 

Syn-6 for 2 pair in-boats and woofer, if its a 4 ohm SVC or 2 ohm DVC

ppi900.4 for rev-10 for now, but yes, the Syn-4 is a much better option.

You pretty much explained it to yourself in the post...

Only thing left is the last question, so I would replace the 900.5 with the syn6. Leave the rest alone until you sell the 900.5 and use the money for a SynDX4 to replace the 900.4 for the Revs. If you notice 450 of lower grade watts affecting your tower you will notice the downsides to running 200 watts only to your Revs as well. These speakers have a bigger voice coil, magnet, internals than any other tower speaker. Please power them appropriately for better SQ...
