Default Problem with BT 2014 upgrade

So ever since i installed the BT 2180 and 7.1 speakers on my 2014 Limited I feel a strange vibration in the handle bars every time I turn it up past 3/4 volume that seems to keep beat with the music and then if i turn it up more my ears start hurting do you think i should have went with the 4180 ?

Default Awesome

I hope to have the same problem in a week or so. I ordered. The 4180 but plan to run it for just 2 for now and hope that's all I need. Are you thrilled with it?

Same amp only 4 channel. That's a good thing. I don't see a problem. . . lol

GP - Are you throwing 150 watts to each Pioneer? And are you running lowers?

My Alpine PDX amps birth sheets are at 187 & 189 per channel, so all of my speakers get almost 190 watts of power......no lower fairing speakers......yet !!

Dam. . .GP I'm gettin cold chills just thinking about 190 watts of power to each speaker! If you had to do it all over again knowing whats out there now. . .Would you still go Alpine and the Boston's or BT4180 and the 7.1's?

I all most pulled over myself but i turned it down to listen to my (flat tire) as i was slowing to pull off the road and the vibration went away turned it back up and it was back----- then it hit me
it gave me a petty good chuckle

I surely would still go the Alpines & the Pioneer 6 X 9's......The Boston Acoustic Pro SE 60's are just something I stumbled on by accident...They are an INCREDIBLE component speaker..... My Boston's only list for a couple hundred more than the Biketronics......It would be neat to hear the 7.1 Pros in my current set-up, for comparison.
