What would you recommend to the OP?
unfortunately at 90W you havent scratched the surface for power needed for Kappas

I'm just thinking OP is looking for something better than stock at this point. Infinity recommends 75 rms...so 90 rms will work if OP is dead set on using the J&M amp. What would you recommend for OP...looks like he wants 4 speakers for around $200!

Like these?
Amazon Amazon

Will these fit in the rear pods? Or do I have to get a 5.25 version?

Will this combo work for me? RF300x2, Biketronic 7.1's, and Infinity Kappa's?
