Thanks guys. I ordered the B52 amp from Amazon here in Canada. I'll try it with my Kappas and see how it sounds. If I'm not satisfied I'll grab the speakers Gannicus recommended. I'll report back on how it sounds after I get it installed. Thanks again for the advice!

LOL. . Not Junk. But the Cerwin Vega sounds much better than the PBR with the kappa's.

I have good news and bad. I got my new B52 amp today. The bad is last weekend I wanted to ride so I hooked my head unit directly to my speakers. I noticed the volume was lower on the right speaker, but thought maybe I didn't have a good connection so I didn't think much of it until today.
I hooked up the new amp and noticed only the tweeter is working on the right side, looks like I need new speakers too. I know guys have said the kappas sound pretty good with the B52 amp, but if I have to buy new speakers should I get something better? What do you guys recommend?

Were the Kappa's the speakers hooked up to the head unit without the amp? No reason the head unit should of blown one of the speakers unless the volume was maxed out and the speaker distorted. I guess my question is: How did the one speaker get damaged?
