I was given info that you could wire the speaker lines from the radio to the amp... wasn't sure if that was good info or not.

That's one of the ways it was done on the older bikes. The Rushmore bikes are a different animal all together.

Yes the BT 355 Line Lever. It tames the EQ on the Rushmore HU to allow the owner to add an amp and not fry his new gear.

ACTUALLY, you can run the 4v2 with high level inputs (speaker level from the HU) in lieu of the BT 355. I know this because Pete was running two of them in his 15 RG. Without question, the line leveler is the better way to go because of the wacky signal that the Boom HU puts out, but it can be done with high level inputs if need be.

Yes you can do this, BUT I will say that you better have lots of time to tune if you go this route. My old audio sounded really good and the only reason that I did this was I didn't want the LL's in the bags with the amps at that time.

I ran 2 micro 4v2's bridged and it was loud and sounded really good, but not even close to where I am now.
