is FM reception crucial? i maintained reception with the cerwin vega B54 amp. if its not important. the soundstream pn4 1000d is an awesome budget amp

 

I'm running the PN4.1000 with 4 62.11 Kappas, hard to beat for the $$ but I lost FM like most do with this amp.

 

same set-up, same results with our streetglide

 

Not ahuge priority

 

The Soundstream pn4.1000d will make those Kappas peel your face off.

 

I'd do the amp first and when funds allow it I'd upgrade the HU. HU will make a big difference in sound quality.

 

True Dat ☝️

 

yup. they dont come alive til they get 125 watts

 

I am a little confused the infinity kappa 62.11i are rated at 75 watts RMS however you all have been stating I should supply at least 125 watts per speaker. The Kenwood KAC-M3004 is rated at 75 watts also. I am sure its my ignorance showing again lol

You need an amp that supplies more than enough power for whatever speakers your gonna use. It's call headroom. This allows your amp to run more efficiently and not be pushed to its limits to operate. Rule of thumb that most go by is speaker rms x 1.8. 75 watts RMS x 1.8= 135.
On a side note the SS 1000d is rated at 250 watts @ 2ohm and the Kappas will handle it all day long.
