I have a 15 S/G Special with biketronics 4180 amp and 7.1 speakers. I bought a king tour pack and want to add tour pack speakers and bag lid 6x9 speakers. Would like to run tour pack speakers with 4180 and get a another amp for the lid speakers. What brand lids and speakers and amp do you recommend for bags and location for amp, bag or faring? What brand pods and speakers for tour pack?

That 4180 makes life a bit tougher with no ability to tune it. Sticking with that amp may cost you more money that selling it and moving on.

I’m not attached to the 4180. Can 6 speakers be pushed by one amp or do I need 2 amps? Tour pack will not be on bike all the time but I want music from the speakers when it is on bike. FM signal is not a concern because I always play music from phone play list.

It all depends on the speakers, I ran 8 off my 4180, it's still in the Bike running 6, being "tuned" with a Dsp, however I will say its coming out this fall,, when upgrade #4 happens.

I’m hoping for more base out of the 6x9s and tour pack speakers The 7.1s play loud and clear but are lacking base.

check out the Polk mm692, mmats 690.4cx, or the diamond audio ms69cx.

so lets back up a bit here. Does the tour pak have pods ? If not junes makes some nice ones I hear but have not put eyes on them. What is your budget for this?

My budget is not unlimited but I’m trying to get most bang for the buck. I still have to purchase lids, speakers and tour pods and a amp if needed.

A good system for the money would be keeping the BT4180 and powering the fairing and tour pak. Then adding a amp for the lids NVX VADM4. Mmats 601.4cx in 4 places and Mmats PA690.4cx. I would run the bridged to the 6x9's. That will let you match the 6x9's volume wise to the fairing speakers.

Will the the 6x9s hit with that combination, not looking for subwoofer base but don’t want them to be bright either?
