With the 2180 you can't fade it with the Head unit.

That would be half the power of the 4180, sounds like there is enough power that that it would still make em pound pretty hard.

As long as you have BT speakers, you won't be disappointed.
Since having the amp, I haven't put my HU past 37. Anything more than that and it feels like my ears are bleeding--seriously.

Well I have the Polk mm651 now up front and the pioneers in the lids. I am going to order some 7.1s this week. Wish I would have just done this in the first place.. I have 2-3 weeks to kill anyways. I am doing new bags, rear fender, and stretched tank kit.. It's a never ending process...
