Default Help on sound system....
I got these yesterday from Kutter HD, great deal, very nice folks...

http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...ersion=desktop

Anyway, i would love to add two more speakers for my lowers, the Amp is 40 watts, 2 channels......can i split the audio out? Is the Amp big enough to carry 4 speakers? What are the best speakers for the lowers.....there will be no more speakers on the bike, only two on the handle bars and two on the lowers.
Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks.

I doubt that amp has anywhere near enough power for lowers, its designed to power those little 3.5"s. If you plan on putting 6.5"s in your lowers, you will need a seperate,larger amplifier

You would be much better off sending that back and using a proper amp and 6.5s in the lowers. Check out the audio section.
