Default Additional Amps Question

Running a 4 x 100 amp. Buying lower fairings with speaker pods. Should I bridge these off existing or get two channel amp? Has anyone had issues with charging system etc.running additional amps?
Thanks in advance.

Should probably get the basics answered first. What bike, amp and fairing speakers are you currently using? What speakers are in your plan for the lowers?

Which model of Polks are you running in the fairing? And what speakers are you looking at for the lowers? And what model amp are you currently running?
Also, you may wanna learn the difference between bridging and paralleling.
