Yes, I don't listen to the radio much if at all but I seem to have a strong fm signal. It was weak with the ss, I could only get the strongest fm channels in with the ss and the higher I turned up the volume the weaker the signal got.

That's what I was hoping to hear. Looks like an amp swap coming up this spring.

It's funny you ask, a couple of weeks ago we went to the Colorado Motorcycle Expo and my wife heard this stupid loud stereo and says that mine don't sound that loud. I said it could if we purchase the BT 4180 amp that I want. She says, you can get it! Woot! Woot!

That's funny Austin, but you are in baby. Now I'm going from a BT2180 to the BT4180 and so fricken excited. Yes, I should have done this first time around, live and learn. Gives a better option if I need lids speaks. Looks like what I have for speakers will do the job......FINALLY. Congrats on the pre-approved kitchen pass to procure the 4180. WHOO-WHOO. Best. D

I just got my 4180 in for my 15 RGS. Cant wait to replace my NVX amp although it sounds good I need more power for those 62.11i's. Cant wait to get started.

Curious to see how this works out. I know the 62.11s are good but I'm not sure if they can handle that beast of an amp.

2010 Limited with some stuff!!
