If I decide to go with the new Pro Line I would probably need to consider going with the PBR300x2 to be able to afford.

Tough decision, 2180 & 7.1's or PBR & Pro's....

Opinions?
My advice to you would be the 7.1 and the bt4180. Ya ya I know you said 2180 but I know better and yes you will be glad you bought the 4180 when your addiction kicks in full bore and you add another set of speakers. Don't feel bad your not alone.

Lol ok well some here are having a hard time admitting it but that's ok it's there story let them tell it how they want it. Admitting you have a problem is the first step...... But who am I kidding that advice sucks!!! I stick to my guns though 4180, that will be my next move!

Have had the addiction with car/truck and boat systems but had so far kept it simple with bike. Had hogtunes in last bike & the original 7.25's in current ride, both without amp. No matter which I choose it will be a good choice! Leaning towards 21/ 7.1's right now but not going to rush into making the call
Speaker lids are out of the picture since OL & I travel often & space is a premium. Just personal preference but have never been a lowers fan. Think the 2 channel will fit the bill just thinking the BT is a better choice.

There's alot of options out there. So I'll only speak to what I've run. The PBR is a fine AMP. BUT the 4180 I upgraded to can't compare. It's louder and more importantly is how clear and clean it sounds when you crank it up. Also important to me was not having to set gains and all that. Some like having the ability to change all that. Not me.

Looks like you have extended bags on your bike. The lids will not impede your ability to carry stuff. I can pack just as much stuff in my saddle bags as I could before I got the lids and my OL is a pack rat. Just a thought.
