Default 2004 ultra classic system

I installed a aquatic Av HU hoping it would power the hogtunes speakers better. But the hogtunes aren't going to cut it. I'm looking for a amp, and speakers for the fairing and rear tourpack pods. My budget is the killer. Looking to spend around 600.00. Right now I'm leaning to the cerwin vega b54 amp and infinity kappas 6.5s in all 4 holes. Would this work good or do you have any other suggestions for a better sound that's within the budget. I also really want to keep my fm reception. Not wanting to win any competitions but do want to be able to hear it at 80.

I think the requirement to keep FM will be the killer for ur budget. The FM friendly amps get a bit pricey.

IF you want to keep your FM and budget. This amp is the best route to go.

They're considered a budget speaker but with good clean power they hold they're own. Damn good sounding speaker when powered correctly.

It's a crap shoot bro! It's one of those deals where you won't know until you install it! Some guys have no issues and some guys do. We have never been able to figure this issue out and lord knows we've tried!! Lol!!

The diamond amp fell through so let me start this over. I have ordered 4 infinity kappas so now I need a amp. I've been thinking and I really don't care about fm reception but I do want it to fit in the fairing and also push the infinity good. I'm looking at the sound stream amp but which one.
