Default My Changes

Went from BT4180 powering BT 7.1,6.5,6x9's To 4180 powering hertz mpk 165.3 and Bt 6.5 and adding MVPA4 bridged to BT 6x9's .
Instead of boring you with all the combos I tried as far as which amp to which speakers and how they sounded this was the combo that worked best for me.
My final impression is the Bt6x9 sound great with the extra power of the MVPA4.And the hertz are a fuller less bright in your face speaker than the 7.1 and play equally as loud at highway speed.
Side note after swapping speaker wires so many times I will never buy another amp that has the wire connection on the 4180 I bought the pin connectors to speaker wires but pin is to large diameter for amp, pushing thinned wire into spring lock sucks.

What next replace 6.5 with hertz sv165 or replace 4180 with something else but has to be same size as 4180 or tour pak with eights Cant tell you how much want Tailwinds tour pak

I think that changing out those Bt 6.5s to the Sv 165s will be considerably louder.

In my opinion yes. It will pair very well with your MPK'S and will handle large amounts of power which is good because in the lowers you want something that will project good sound realing loud to combat the wash out effect. But that is my opinion.
