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.
Man, ur gonna have a couple of power hungry speaker sets hooked up to that BT. U ever consider sticking a bridged micro amp on the amp tray right next to the BT4180 and run the lids off of that?

You won't like that. The pros need juice imho. Have to agree with Tailwind, in that a second amp maybe in order.
