Adding lowers..need setup advice..
Well that didnt take long to get bored with nothing to work on.
A big shout out to all the members that helped and to Gypsie, Gan and especially Sbates for being patient and helpful with my remedial questions the past several months.
so... I saw the post about adding the Hog tunes liquid lower adapters and using the new BT spacer for them.
So going that route...My question is amp/wiring set up I need. And if i should use a mid range or coaxial speakers in lowers.
My current set up
2016 Limited
Stock HU
JL600/6
Arc 602 fairing - bridged ch 1-4 (200w each)
Polk 652 TP - ch 5/6 (75w)
Bt355s with breakout harness
BT speaker brackets
Im not sure the best way to go about expanding my current set up...2nd amp,wiring etc..
I dont think i will and any lids in future, if i have lowers. I would also prefer not to put an amp in my TP or Bags...but I know i may have to, to fit 2 amps. The JL600/6 is on a JM tray currently. Love the JL amp!
I have a set of Hertz MPX 165, db wxd6 (in classifieds) and sonys sitting on shelf here as well. Im open to go PA in fairing and moving 602s to lowers,etc.
Just need some direction
thanks!

I have the DD AWs in the fairing, this gives me the bass/punch I wanted closer to my ears. I have Beyma PAs in my lowers. They dont have the bass of the DDs but, I wouldnt hear it from that location anyway at speed, what they do provide is clean clear volume at speed and they compliment the DDs well.

I run the DD AWs in the fairing. They provide the bass punch I want. I run Beyma PAs in my lowers. They dont have the bass of the DDs but, at speed I would not hear bass from that location. What they do provide me is a clean clear volume at speed and they compliment the DDs well.

Mike, I have a set of dbmotos in my lowers on a 14 Limited. They are loud, clear and fill in nicely in that location. I do however have a dsp to help tame the brightness of those speakers.

Thanks guys...
I think since i have the 602s in fairing and dont have a dsp. Right now Im leaning to do the prvs in lowers like bates suggested and the mx280/4 like ITW suggested since i can fit it in fairing.
of course at the rate im going, ill have a dsp and 8 speakers in a couple months.
