Can a single amp push 6 speakers?
Okay I want my cake and eat it too, that said... Is there an affordable amp that will fit in fairing on my 05 RoadGlide and push 6 speakers? Can a single amp even do that or are 2 amps required for a 6 speaker setup? I am replacing my stock head unit with the Sony MEXM70BT and would like to eliminate the small 2 speaker hogtunes amp/speaker setup and ditch the PBR300x4 but retain my 4 Polk speakers and add 2 more polks to replace the hogtune ones. Also are there adaptors to run 6.5 speakers in the factory location? the hogtune ones are oval shaped.

Yes --- but not those speakers. You would need 4ohm speakers to do it correctly and wire two sets "in parallel". Techincally you could do it with the Polks and wire them "in series" but you would cut your power by half. Not advised brother!

This might be over kill for his setup, but would definitely work mounted in a bag. The $1000-1200 price tag is another issue, but from what I've read it's a pretty impressive amp. Read where an all MMats setup with this amp hit 133db on a term lab mic.

The Polk 5 1/4 are cut right into the front of lids and grills painted to match, I know it sounds rigged but it don't look bad. They are marine rated and been working for years like that. I know 6x9's would blow them away but at the time didn't have $ for new lids.
