I have no idea. I just started researching it and in communication with TR. I will have one eventually but want the ability to update software as it become available for 2019+ units and what that will cost.

Hey Lastride, thanks for those speakers, I think they'll be perfect for the HogTunes lids. I just mocked them up to see how they would compliment the other six and was well pleased. I forgot to ask should I run those full pass or high pass?
Also I learned a few things tinkering with them tonight. I temporarily hooked them up in parallel with the Motos in the batwing. According to the sticky the SS PN4.1000d puts about 120 watts to each speaker in 2 ohm mode as apposed to 140 watts each in 4 ohm mode. Dropping that wattage going into the Motos in the fairing made them sound warmer and not as harsh. When they are getting the full 140 watts on the front channel I have to run the fader towards the rear a bit to tone them down. I was actually able to put the fader in the middle to keep from hurting my ears. The Rockfords in the lids and Motos in the batwing seem to compliment the ADs in the lowers and rear pods pretty well. That SS PN4.1000d pushed all eight speakers without even getting warm.
I also learned that I now think eight speakers is the minimum. Not four, not six, but eight. Now I think I may try to find a tiny amp to hide somewhere to run them for a while. They didn't get very loud on the same channel as the Motos. At least not before the Motos tried to take my head off. Them things get real loud real quick.
Thanks for all the help folks.

Can you provide the specs on those speakers? I see that they are 91 sensitivity rating so they will not get that loud. What type tweeter is integrated in the setup? Center throw or soft dome? Crossover size? Frequency response? Basket material? Water resistant? Thanks.

I have not personally run them but I have installed some in RF lid kit running them off 2 channels of a stinger and they sound damn good with just 125w from the stinger. They would sound even better with 200w. I do believe Marshall has some experience with them also.
