Default Help needed biketronic system

GUYS I NEED IMMEDIATE HELP WITH MY SYSTEM AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

HERE'S MY SET UP:

Biketronics 7.1's fairing speakers;
Biketronics 6.5's lowers;
Biketronics BT4180 amp;
Hogtunes tweeters;
Pioneer 6x9's
Sony Headunit

Here's the problem. When I'm riding on the highway, I'll hit 80+mph and I can still hear my music loud. Then, I'll hit 90+ and the music is still so loud and clear. As a result, I'll start singing my heart out and bopping my head while riding. The cagers will pull up to me and give me the thumbs up....

And, my house is on a cul-de-sac. So, when the bike is in the garage, I can set the headunit to 30, close the garage door and walk a full street down and can still here Hendrix singing Hey Joe (my favorite song of all time)...

What's wrong with my system....

Krying do you have any pics of your lowers with what grills you used? I'm on the fence about adding BT 6.5 to my lower fairings or just leaving them without any speakers.

Too many drugs in your system.

Here's a thread that I once posted. There are pictures of my Matzua lowers. I have about 2000 miles in those lowers and have not had 1 problem with them.
Since making the thread, I took out the Polk speakers (I hate everything made by Polk) and replaced them with the BT 6.5's.
I also added the CVO grills.

Thanks, that was perfect. No fitment issues with the CVO grills and the tweeter on the BT 6.5 speakers?

Nope, I didn't have any problems at all.

I will say this though. There's so much sound coming from the front of the bike that my 6x9's are drowned out. At a red light, I will always turn my volume way down. But even at a low volume, it's still really loud. I'm not joking, with the bike in the garage with the door closed, I can have the volume at the 1/2 way mark (25). I can walk down my cul-de-sac and can still hear my music blasting. Some may say that it's obnoxious (um my girlfriend, my mother, etc)...

Definitely what I refer to as a "quality problem." I'd say keep running it liek that. IF you need BT stuff let me know. I can probably save you a few bucks on their stuff and run it in my bike as well.

What kind of power do you have going to your 6 x 9's?
