Depending on the size of the amp you should be able to squeeze it in on the clutch side of the fairing if you are using the brackets. If you are using the pods NO WAY for a second amp unless you stand it on edge move some wires around and put it on a fabricated bracket under the head unit behind the headlight.It would be tough with the stock HU.
Hell, i have an aftermarket hu, bt brackets, and pn 1000 amp and its super tight. The module that comes with the biketronics kit, is pretty big. I cant see another amp going in there.
If you're using the biketronics brackets, a small surface becomes available between the bracket and the back of the fairing speakers. I'm currently using it to mount the crossovers for my Focals.....using the factory pods, no chance.
Looks like a CV B52 just might fit there. Easy enough to mock up. Find a scrap of 2x6 lumber and cut it to 4x6.6, tie wrap it in there and see if the fairing fits back on.
Edit: Might have to remove the cig lighter.
We've been paying attention to the front right of the bike, butthere is even more room on the left side. Right next to the stock head unit, I swear there is enough room to put my old Diamond micro 4 and definitely a CV b54. I actually caught a shot tonight.

Get a block of wood or even Styrofoam and give it a try.

Didn't have a block of wood, but I actually took my old amp and slid it up in there. Might not be a perfect fit because of that circular loop that comes up from the bottom of the HU tray that you can see in the first pic, but you can definitely make it work. I know for a fact the CV b45 amp that I mentioned is a tad smaller than its cousin, the Diamond Micro 4.
So, finally heard the system today using the BT4180 and with the new 7.1 Pros running in Parallel with the Focal 165 KRC. Verdict..... Pretty freakin' awesome! For the first time, I could feel the bass in my chest! The HATS 5x7s sound better than I've ever heard them. However, they do not throw the Bass out that I was looking for, What would be the suggestion of the experts here for my 6X9s. I've heard, JLs(nor sure which models) Arc Moto 692, Kappa infinity , etc.
Here's what I'm thinking and you guys won't be surprised... I'd like to get the four front speakers using the four channels of the 4180 to take full advantage of the speakers. Now that I know i have space for another Amp. What's your suggestions on a small four channel amp that when Bridged is going go give me that thump out of the 6X9s in back?

I'd run the Pro's and focals off the front channel of the BT4180 in parallel and use the back channel to push some Infinity 693.11i's in the lids. That way you won't need another amp.
The Infinity's are 2 ohm speakers and they sound dam good with that amp. Plenty of thump!! That's just me.
