DAMN!! Thats as much as im paying for the painted fairing lowers from Harley!! I think i'll pass and Gannicus....ummmm.....NO!! It will still be pushing the kappas in the front channels. Just looking for something for the rears because the tn2.600 keeps cutting out unless i turn the gains down. Unfortunately, this takes away from the surround sound that I hear as I ride (Yes, its VERY noticeable when the 6x9s in the bags arent firing). Just looking at other options right now but I may send it back and get another tn4.900. It puts out 150 watts per channel at 2 ohms....which is the MINIMUM I would feed these pioneers.

Just trying to help defray your cost Sir . . . LOL. I'm looking at the BT4180 as well for a winter project. Maybe BT will give me a deal if I buy two. . . . LOL Fat chance!

GP . . . Do you have those Alpines stacked or side by side? Trust me if I could get the OL to pack a little lighter I would have had those Alpines three years ago. . .lol

Hertz hdp4 has good numbers as well but cost wise your in the same ballpark as the 4180, I personally would like to go with the focal fpd 900.6 and have all I need or want but I'm struggling with giving up the bag space

That Focal FPD 900.6 is nice! Right up my alley. . .With the exception of the high price tag! Hell, I can get four TN4.900's for that price! It's a thought for my next bike though.
