Thanks I will let him know this. He will probably go with your set up then. Its great to be able to ask someone with the knowledge like you. I'm going to go with your set up and now can I still add bag lids with that amp or do I need another amp? I talk to bt and there controls will work with that alpine deck

being that the amp is a 2 ohm stable amp, and you'll be utilizing all 4 channels at 2 ohms you'd be best to add another amp for the saddlebag lids when you add them. I'm in the same boat right now with mine and awaiting the PN2.350D to run my saddlebag lids.

Can you run them, absolutely. But you would have to run them in series with the rear tour pak pods bring the impedance load the amp sees to 5.4 ohms which would drop the output power of the amp down

well based on dimensions, it looks like it will sit right on top of the PN4.520D I currently have installed in the fairing.

That's great. Running a new power line or just a jumper to that amp?

unless you're doing something special like cutting the polk grills to fit, I would simply use the stock grills.. incognito...
