I don't have any experience with the 8.8's so I have no idea what type of power they will need to really hit hard, but remember that on a RG you can easily add one or 2 more amps to the Arc. Again, like I said, Im not sure you will need the extra power but I would really be asking the guys in the "know" on the 8.8's what power they need to really play.

You will need the BT brackets...so order those! If you are going to get the Voodoo lids let me know and I'll call Kody. I also have the 8.8's in stock.
which brackets, for the amp or speakers or both? If for the amp, is the BT better than the one Arc offers?

I thought you said SG on here. You won't need brackets for the pods, for the amp...arc makes a mounting bracket for the amp and it will sit under the radio.

just to make sure my head is in the right place

arc moto=4 channels
at28 parallel to #1
aw6 parallel to #2
vo 6x9 each to #3 & #4

in the future add JL8.8s and another amp
everything gets its own channel

With that amp and paralleling the AWs on one channel u would only be getting 75w per speaker. Wiring them up as a speaker and Tweet together on each separate channel u will be getting damn near 150w per component setup. In cave man technical speak, the amp really won't see much of the tweet when wired in conjunction w the AWs, so put each AW on their own channel.

Hope this makes sense.
