Default Lowers wired parallel or separate channel?
I have BT 7.1 mounted in the upper fairing using a BT4180 amp. Now I am ready to install my Hertz HCX 165 in the lowers and I need to know which is preferred.

Connecting them on the same channel in parallel or wire them separate on the rear channel?

Thanks
Rick

If these 2sets of speakers are all that your running currently then it's a no brainer. Put them all on their own channel.

Boom! If you ever add lids or saddle bag speakers. You can go parallel at that point.
