Yeah - Those focals are only rated at 70 RMS. They won't last long with the 4180. No gain control.

 

Yeah I am running both 7.1 and 6.5 speakers...Man this should sound pretty good.......Upgraded from the 2180 to 4180 and Im so pumped about the tunes.>>Again....

 

Runing the 7.1's up top and the 6.5's in the lowers but the 61.11i's are in the rear pods but so far they seem to be OK have the fader +2 to the front.

 

I have read too many great postings from biketronics. I will be upgrading soon. I just haven't convinced myself on what head unit to go with.

 

If I'm just going with the fairing and tourpack speakers , can I get away with the 2 channel amp or do I need to get the bt4180? Will be making my purchase soon. Thanks.

 

what speakers? what amp?
if referring to BT2180 amp and BT speakers, yes.
you can run 2 4ohm speakers parallel per channel (result is 2 ohm).
would I do it that way? no :-)
with 2 channel amp you WILL LOSE fader option.

 

I only wanted the upper speakers and tourpak pods now I have the BT4180 and 7.1's in upper fairing and 6.5's in the lowers front channel and I have 62.11i's in the rear pods with the fader at +2-3 front.
Get the BT4180 this way you can always add more speakers later if you want.

 

SO many to choose from, with so many features...
BT, SOny, Kenwood, Pioneer, & Alpine to start....All has AM/FM.CD RADIO...
More has Bluetooth, HD radio, Pandora/Aha/I-heart, USB, Ipod, thumbdrive, XM Sirius Radio....DVD, whatever features you might need on the road. Good luck.

 

Question guys.
The bt4180 is only if your running 4 speakers right?
I have a BT 2180 but I'm only running fairing speakers.
Is this how it works?

 

For my BT4180, I'm running 6 speakers. I have my fairing and lowers running parallel into 2 chambers or whatever they're called and my lid speakers running into the other chambers.

Thing is though, eventually, you may want to add more speakers; therefore, the BT4180 is the way to go.
