How do you like Mille pro 6.5's? Thinking of swapping my bt 7.1 non pros for the Mille pro component set up.

Slyedog has installed a set of MLKs that are component. Maybe hit him up?

Yeah I don't wanna lose anymore space then I already have by shoving an amp somewhere other then the fairing. I'm currently running the ss pn4.1000, gann ran a set of the coax off this amp. The tweeters can go in the lower gauge holes, I already have a set of Polk tweeters in there that aren't hooked up cause I don't have the cross over from the set up anymore.

Man now I'm conflicted lol. I heard them in a audio store and they were hooked up to a hertz amp pushing 65 watts and sounded great ( I know not the highway lol) but figured they would scream by more then doubling the power to them

They are 125 rms iirc or in that ballpark. The 150 from the arc may or may not be enough. The downside to no acoustics on the bike is that power is volume outside of efficiency. That's why the pro audio is used frequently as they produce high volume with less power,BUT you sacrifice sound quality. My point is you need to match accordingly. Now I will throw this out there. Arc 600 to a Focal component set and your bag lid speakers is a guarantee win. Just watch the xover sizes. Not trying to steer away from the Hertz components, but here is the big unknown. Is 150watts enough? I think it will be but not going to say it confidently.

This may or may not be helpful and to note I haven't done it yet, but will in the next week or two.
I'll be running a BT 4180 and 7.1 pros in the fairing, hcx 165 in the lower fairings, and hcx 690 in the lids. My plan is to run the pros and 690s on the same channels. This allows them to be in similar power without one dragging down the other. Then, obviously the 165 would be on their own separate ch to keep me from not allowing the pros to breath due to the 165 being able to not handle as much.
