1. What box are you referring to?
2. Are your speakers amped?

I was going to start a similiar thread. However, I will ask my question here. Is it worth SQ and investment to add lid speakers? I am running BT 4180, 7.1's in the front and AM 602's in the TP pods. Was thinking about the HT lids with AM 692's bike is a 2014 FLHTK.

Oh Yeah! Lids are awesome! Parallel the lids and the rear pods on the back channel of the BT4180.

Somehow I knew you were going to say that Gann. Looks like I am going to lighten up the wallet again. Does someone make a parallel speaker cable for that application?

Do those Arc Moto TP and lid speakers match up well for resistance and sensitivity? By paralleling those rear speakers how will it effect the volume?

If you are looking for LOUD with less power you need a speaker around 92 to 96 db on up. Some guys are running speakers with 107 db these days. Those speakers don't need very much power to get really loud. On the other hand the higher the sensitivity the less BASS in your speakers. So it's a trade off. I run the Moto's because I like bass in my music.
That said. You can run a 100 watt amp and still be loud with the high sensitivity speakers. Going to at least need 150 watts with the any of the Moto speakers. The BT4180 works great with the Moto's!

If he goes with the Arc 692's they match up perfectly with the 6.5 Moto's. 88 db for the 6.5's and 86 db for the Moto 692's. One thing everyone who purchases a set of arc's needs to know is that they are power hungry speakers and they need plenty power to get loud.
