It's a proven combination used often, you'll like it. Beware though, next thing you know you'll want to add lids and 6x9's.

GREAT POINT! My suggestion would be to get a 4 channel amp from the get go juuuuuust in case you decide to add more speakers later. It usually ends up happening that way. I started with 2 BT speakers and a 4ch amp just in case I wanted to add more. Withing 6 months I had purchased bag lids and speakers but didn't have to buy another amp because I got the 4ch to begin with.

I thought the same thing. But then I realized it would be simple just to run a second Rockford Fosgate PBR300x2 for the rears.

You'll like the combination! It's what I'm running and I'm very pleased. Especially considering the cost to sound ratio. I'm sure you've read it already but be sure to get yourself some polyfil to wrap the speakers in. It makes a noticeable difference in tightening up the low end response.

You're probably right about adding additional speakers, but for now Ill see how it is. I'm so use to have a blue tooth headset on and this is totally different. Thanks for all the great advise, still waiting on speakers and amp to get here. I think they shipped it by way of slow boat from china

I am taking advantage of the group buy and upgrading my speaks to the BT7.1. I don't have an amp picked out yet but seriously considering the RF PBR300x2. Curious on the thoughts on this combo.
