Default Amp suggestions
So I just ordered Infinity Kappa 62.11i speakers for the fairing and have plans on doing lids and 6x9's later on. This is a budget system and im looking for a 4ch amp, from my reading on the forum seems like people prefer the Soundstream PN4.1000D and the Cerwin Vega b54, which one will be better suited for my fronts and possibly pioneer pro 6x9's for the lids ? Or what else would you recommend, my amp budget is about 200 250 max

Your first hurdle is whether or not u r going to use the J&M amp tray or use the stock tray.

That will create the amp sandbox in which u can play.

the B54 will not produce enuf power at 4 ohm to run the pioneer 6x9, but it is a great match for the kappas at 2 ohm

I went ahead and ordered the B54 last night, what 6x9's would be a good match for it ?

The JM amp tray is made of SS and is a quality part. This tray allow more room to mount a larger amp and in some cases two amps. Phat Performance has them for $128.
