Default 4 speaker build help

After seeing what I can get a BT4180.14 for with the sale going on (equal to the two amp set up) the second guessing starts lol. At least i know I'm gonna have plenty of power with the two amps. The BT4180.14 would have just made the install easier.

Checking at NAPA auto parts they might have them or some were the sells heavy duty semi-truck parts store.
You might be able to find them at tractor supply or big r also

Try a hobby shop that sells rc cars radio shack.
We get are connectors at work thru our parts vendor

If your going with the amp kit alone, you will also want to go with the BT speaker brackets also and get rid of those POS pods. If you already have speaker for the fairing, call BT and they will sell them without speakers.

They have a backorder on the speaker brackets. They will be purchased at a later date. The 3" hole in the back back of the pods seem to be doing good for now.

Nice surprise a couple hours ago. I got the shipping notification for my lids and they should be here by the weekend, and it looks like everything else will be here too. I'm excited to start getting things together and enjoy the music.

I may need a pointer or two along the way, but i think i have a pretty good grip on it through the help and posts of everyone on here.

Just about everything is here. Thank you to Bunker and LL247. The Rockford amp and Arc Moto 692's showed up looking like they were straight from the factory (the amp was new and unwrapped as stated).

Although i do have a bigger problem now. I went to do a before video of the 602's and the B2 and the bike wouldn't start. Been sitting on a trickle charger all winter, even started up couple weeks ago when it warmed up a little, so im not sure if it's the battery or not. I'm going that's all it is.

If it comes down to the battery, check out Batter Mart. $110 shipped. The last time I ordered one I had it in two days.
