Default 6 speaker install do I need another amp?

I have installed the HD14U Stage 2 in my Ultra Limited 2016.

I have two fairing speakers and two tour pack speakers and looking to install saddlebag speaker kit TMS69BL14.

Do I need a second amp to power those speakers?

If so which amp and is there a wiring diagram for hooking up a second amp?

I have a Boom GTS head unit retrofitted and I will be installing a removable tour pack kit also, if that matters.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello. Another amplifier is not necessary, you can simply run the TMS69BL14 in parallel on the rear channels with the current TMS65 speakers in the tour pak. Inside the RFK-HD14 wiring kit box there were two black y-adapters, just connect one of those to the rear output and connect both sets of speakers to that.

How does that break out in the area of power? Are you effectively getting 50watts per speaker with that setup?

Yes, that would be 50 watts per speaker on the rear with 100 watts going to the front speakers.

Thanks. After asking the question I used my brain and Google'd it.
