Wanting more....
So, I find myself wanting more. I'm now running my Focal 165KRC's in my fairing and Focal 570AC's in my bag lids. These are running off a Biketronics 4180. I am now thinking I want to add lowers so I can add more speakers.
My question now is do I stay with another set of Focal 165KRC's or do I go to something else? Should I add another Biketronics amp? can this also go in the fairing? I don't want to put any amps in the bags.
Thanks
Pete

On a RG you have room to add a second amp between your radio and speaker pods. You could add something like a Cerwin B52 to the rear speakers, then add the lowers with the same Focals, or if you wanted some low end the 602's will balance out the sound some.....but won't be near as loud.

I am really just learning and have no real experience experimenting like the knowledgeable folks here but if you are going to run parallel off a channel wouldn't it make more sense to run the fairing and lowers in parallel off the front and the tour pak speakers off the rear channel to keep the fade capability?

Great --- technically you can. It will sound good, but obviously not as loud as it could go. In parallel the 4180 won't push twice, you do lose some juice. One option would be to put the motos in the fairing and Focal's in the other two locations, or put Focal in all three spots and run the lowers and rears in parallel.
Billable -- for fading purposes that makes sense. For power purposes I would want my fairing speakers NOT in parallel so they could receive the most juice. Also when running speakers in parallel you want them to be the same speaker or at a minimum very similar specs.
