Yes that makes sense. What are you using to power the 7.1s now? The 4180 is a really good amp so unless your using a higher quality amp you will almost certainly get louder and cleaner. The TS 6900 thump pretty good but they need alot of power to do so. Arc moto 692s are on the same page I would say as the pioneer. At this point my advice is to decide exactly what you want from you system and then worry about power and components ect.....don't get too far ahead of yourself with components or may wind up accidentally pairing the wrong stuff and have to start over lol. If you have settled on the 4180 and the 7.1s get the amp and power up those 7.1s...let your ears tell you what else you need. That's the best way to build a setup.
I couldn't agree more. We really need to do that.
Oh good lord you have no idea how much better just your 7.1s will sound by getting rid of that thing some people call an amp.......
Your response made me chuckle a little.
I had a feeling your response was going be like that.
Lol sorry....words can not describe how much I absolutely hate the thing

I'm gonna throw this out there only because it needs to be said and it's nothing against BT. I like their stuff and the ease of use and warranty is unparalleled, but if your thinking your gonna use the 4180 and get bass from your 6x9's your barking up the wrong tree. IMO your much better off with an amp that you can dial in for both the 7.1's and which ever 6x9 you choose to go with. In your case I'd only choose the 4180 only if you want install it and forget it.
