Any opinions on these?
Before you go any further. The Soundstream stealth amp is not going to be loud enough regardless of the speakers.

How so? Not that I'm doubting you just want to get clarification. I was thinking that was more than enough power to push the speaker's i've got.

There's no way that amp is pushing 90w at 4 ohms. You'll find a few post on this forum of folks unhappy with that amp, but happy with amps that have "listed" similar specs.

How many speakers is your total set up. If just 2 speakers take a look at the Cerwin B2. If your doing 4 speakers get the Soundstream PN4.1000D. Big, but it fits.

As far as the speakers. Kappas are tried and true. The last Fosgates I had sounded great but didn't get as loud as I would've liked on a bike.

Ok now you’re on the right path man. Plenty of power with that amp! Just to confirm what year bike is this for? There’s been issues getting that amp to fit in the Rushmores. Fits with no problem in the 2013 and olders.

Also what lids are you getting? If 6X9’s lids....pair a set of Kappas up front with a set of Infinity 693.9i and that will be as loud as you want, and those 6X9s pump out tons of bass.

Dammit! 2014. RG or SG?

Ok man we need to regroup. I should've asked you first. Bottom line the stealth wasn't going to cut it brother. The only way I've seen the PN4.1000D fit on a SG is by using the J&M amp mount. I think it cost about 100-125 bucks. But if it were me, after testing all sorts of amps from cheap ones to very expensive ones. The cost of that amp + the mount is significantly less then comparable amps and very worth it. Theres pics of it fitting in the RG.

If that's not an option cost wise then the RZ4.2000d is your best bet at about 1000 bucks. But it's no PN1000D.

Also are you planning on flashing your radio or using a magic box?

SGS, well I've got the return on the stealth processed and have placed for the PN4. I'll post up once I've gotten everything installed next week. I was going to have the tech's flash the radio.
