Whats next

So i bought all the needed harness from twin audio for my 4 speaker setup,( fairing front and saddlebag rear) what I'm looking to buy is hertz hcx165 and a good amp for under 300.00 so my questions are as follows

Will my boom stage 1 saddle bag speakers stand up well with a 150x4 amp

How much power do i need to power up the hertz?

my budget is 600.oo for speakers and amp so I'm really hoping i don't need to replace the rear speakers

ps my radio is already flashed from the stretglide flash to the 4 speakers no amp flash, will i need another flash again( and not i don't want to use magic boxes)

On a $600 Budget I would go with the sound stream PN4.1000D amp for $180. and purchase these speakers for the lids. Bout $330 total. The soundstream amp will give you 140 watts of clean power to your Hertz speakers and the infinity 5 x7's sound amazing with that amp. No worries on volume there.

What bike is this for? If it's s Rushmore SG you may need a mounting bracket for that amp. Even then it's still the best price for an amp with that kinda power behind it.
