I am planning on using Alpine SR65 speakers in lower fairing pods. The speakers will be amplified by a BT2180 amp. I'm just looking for comments or thoughts regarding these speakers.

What bike and what are you running on top if any?

 

In the upper fairing I'll be running BT Titan !! 6.5, 4 ohm. I don't think I mentioned I'll be connecting the Boom HU to the 2180 using a BT355 LL.
Thank You;

So if you are running titans off the 2180 then you are going to parallel the lowers.
Are these the speakers you are talking about:

Yes those are the speakers.

 

I have not run lowers before but wanted to make sure that the speakers are all 4ohm as you are going to parallel them off a 2 channel amp. If it were me, I would get another set of titan 6.5 lowers. That way all 4 have the same sensitivity and the volume will be the same in all 4. If you already have those alpines, give them a try.

 

Lowers would do better with a slightly higher sensitivity due to the location of them and the distance they are from the rider. Just a thought

 

I agree since those alpines are only 88 db sensitivity. Not sure what the titans are but if they are 88-93 then a set of wdx motos at 103 would be perfect if they will fit.

 

Instead of paralleling fairing and lowers together you could parallel fairing speakers together on channel 1 and lowers on channel 2. That way your different specs won't fight each other when trying to parallel together. Use the balance on the HU to mix the two together.
