Default BT4180 or Diamond Audio MICRO4V2

What would be the better amp to run with a Sony HU and BT 7.1's and Titan II 6.5's ?

Thanks

Out of the two the BT 4180. Depending on the Sony use it to make adjustments. The Micro4v2 lacks power.

If I HAD to choose it'd be the 4180. The Micro is too weak at 80 watts. In all honesty I got better sound from those speakers with a SS pn4.1000.

Well see thats just it Im selling off my SS PN4.520D to a buddy of mine and I was looking into getting a SS PN4.1000D but the only drawback which isnt the end of the world is no FM/AM reception?

Yessir that is a drawback, but like you said, it's not the end of the world. The possibilities for music listening preferences are usually wide open on a good aftermarket HU.

Dammit Haze... Keep recommending that amp and I'm gonna have to ditch the 4180. Does it need an amp tray to mount in a 14&up Streetglide?
