Speaker question???
So I have a road glide custom that I finally decided to do some stereo upgrades to.. Installed a Jackson Bluetooth head unit and wheel controls and added a Rockford power tm400x2ad 2 ch amp... In hindsight I think the 4 channel may have been the way to go??? Anyhow the distributor I have been dealing with originally sent me Polk db651s speakers before I had nailed down which amp I was goin with.. Was going to try and run polks with the plug and play prime 2ch kit I already had.. The polks didn't fit the 6.75 adapters I got.. So the distidutor sent me some powerbass 6.5 's to try again before I nailed down my amp selection..
Well, fast forward I installed the Rockford power amp and ran it with the powerbass speakers.. I cautiously set the gain and eq gain adjustments and set the high pass filter on the amp to approx 75 hz.. Needless to say the amp killed the speakers on a 4 hr ride.. Burned out the tweeters.. So my question is what reasonably priced 6.5-6.75 coax or component speakers can/ should I get and should I add in 2 more 6.5 in the inner fairing??? Thanks for any advice!!!

That amp has enough behind it to run 4 speakers in parallel.
What's your budget on speakers? Lots of good choices out there. Oh and those Polks wouldn't have stood a chance with that amp either!
