Small space needing bass

[MrQuik]

Ok 1st let me get this out the way. I know absolutely nothing about car audio but fast in learning.

Now I have a gsxr 1000 I'm currently running 4 Jbl Gto 3.5
on the front of my bike. In the rear I'm running 1 Rockford fosgate 6.5 using a Rockford fosgate T4004xad 4 channel amp

Now although pretty loud o want to get some bass from the rear so I purchased a kicker CWRT672 I also bought a old school keenwood KGC 4042A because of its size.

Now lol my question is can I run the small sub and 4 speakers off the 1 amp and add the eq to gice me some deep bass from the sub? Omg I'm confusing myself. Or do I need to try and add 2 amps 1 for sub and of so how would I add an eq btw I don't have a head unit im using a JL audio Bluetooth reciever

Do you have any pics of your set up? I’m having a hard time picturing how you mounted 6.5s (let alone where you’d put a sub) on a gixxer. Some sorta add on top box on the rear I’m guessing?

I’ve never understood speakers on a bike. I’d rather hear the exhaust and my surroundings..

2 3.5s on channel 1
6.5 on channel 2
Subwoofer bridged on channel 3/4.

Same, would like to see this as well. Although small, you have FOUR 3.5” speakers in the front?

The 3.5 is in the air ducts in front. The 1 6.5 is in the trunk in back but im removing and putting a 6.5 kicker instead. When bass hit I pops my 3.5 so I have to have all treable so I bought the small eq by keenwood to stop that and that has the sub controller so I can have more bass I think lol

Ty for this and yes I can tell you now the speakers do not stop you from hearing my exhaust as well but im a music guy and love my sounds. Your not the 1st or last to understand speajers being on any bike let alone a sports bike but I refused to give up and I knew where there was a will there is a way

You need a high pass crossover on the 3.5s.

Yes. The channels are stable to 2 ohms or 4 ohms bridged. Bridged meaning you use both channels 3 and 4 to run the subwoofer. Use the Positive from channel 3 and the Negative from channel 4.

You haven't lived if you never heard the macarena at 120 mph with an helmet on.

maybe save some space and sanity and get yourself a woojer strap for bass https://www.woojer.com/strap/

Only works if you have a samsung device that can stream two bluetooth devices at once tho.
