Help with amp and speakers

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a Reckless fairing for my Roadking. It comes with an Infinity INF-PRV350 head unit. Originally I had thought about putting a set of Polk MM651's in both the upper fairing and in the lower fairings and using a Sound Stream PN4.520D amp to power them. Now after reading through many, many posts on here I'm beginning to doubt myself. I want to be able to hear it clearly at 80 mph. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Or maybe Infinity 62.11 speakers and a CVB54 amp. Thoughts?

I had a PN4 520D and was fine with it. I upgraded to the 1000 version, incrementally better. Yes loud enough at any speed to be annoying.

I have the 62.11's in my fairing and lowers running off a Pn4.520D. Loud and very clear.

For the price and power difference go with the PN4.1000D. It's good to have some head room on the gains. But like mentioned already, you'll probably lose FM with either amp mentioned.

Thanks for the input guys.

I've read other places that class D amps will ruin FM reception. But I've also read that if you wrap the antenna wire with copper tape that will shield against EMI. Anyone here ever heard of or tried this?
