Ok guys...reworked this and upped the budget a little because I figure it is a good idea to do this all at once instead of taking the fairing off multiple times.
BT4180 1440 W 4 channel amp
BT LL
Focal K2 Power 165KRC in fairing
Focal K2 Power 165KRC in lower fairing (running right in parallel and left in parallel between batwing and lower)
so that means I am adding the lower fairing and replacing speaker lids with aftermarket, going with coax rather than component but reduce the need to add an eq and extra horn amp.
4 speakers in front, 2 in back, and shouldn't draw too hard on the amp or mess with electrical.
Should be able to manage with the parallel and not increase the resistance out of range
Thoughts on this?

Or a JL. 280x4 fits inside the paring

Thanks T, but the 4180 has a little more power at 2 ohms which I will need to provide the headroom for the K2s and still have the power to run the 6x9s
Everything is ordered and on the way will pop back in when I get it installed to provide an update.

I’m always baffled how you can hook almost any speaker to those bt amps and they don’t blow. Makes you wonder if they really put out the rated power.

I actually emailed back and forth with Mike and Donna at BT for a bit before I placed my order. Mike was very forthcoming with the tech specs. Told him my setup and got the assurances I need.
All of that being said, this system absolutely screams at 85mph and is crystal clear. Can't wait for the spring thaw and riding season to start.
Appreciate all of the advice and help from everyone here.
