Band-Aid or not it's what he's got to work with and I'd wire it that way before I'd parallel the BT's to the Alpines. Sure those of us that are in the know wouldn't have purchased those for the lowers but the OP took the advise of a well respected Sponsor. Right or wrong it is what it is unless the OP has the means to change them out.
And to add further as to cutting volume using the balance between the 2, it wouldn't matter if the OP was using the BT4180 to power these 2 sets of speakers, he's still limited in volume by his weakest speaker with a non adjustable amp.

Well said brother!!! Shix happens in life but it's all about how u recover. In this case the band aid will work damn well for the circumstances that have been presented. And I certain the OP appreciates you taking the time to offer up some potential solutions that will get his ship to shore for the upcoming riding season.

So turns out the Alpines haven't purchased yet. Good!
Thing with creative solutions is that they don't apply to all, and the reasoning to use the creative solution is hardly ever discussed. Next thing you know folks assume this is the right way to do things, similar to us assuming he already had the Alpines. We fixed the wrong problem.
Wet heads. I've only used the Hogtunes kit minus the hogtunes speakers so I'm sure what specific speakers fit there. I'm thinking if the Alpines fit the Polks MM652's have to be close also, and likely a much better sounding speaker.
