With your aftermarket head unit you should have plenty of room for most any amp in the fairing from what I have been told. What is your budget for your amp? On the low end the SoundStream PN4.1000d has proven to be a good buy. You could also power some lowers with that amp as well. On the upper end there is the Focal Sport lots of folks seem to like. The smart guys can give you more info especially when you can give them a budget.

As for the speaker wire most guys seem to use 16 gauge. I wound up using 14 gauge just because I got a good buy on it and I use crimp terminals on the speakers and like the fatter wire.

thanks I'll get that sound stream...my 6.5 polks are rated at 60 rms, and the lid 6x9s are 180rms.
Any issues with these?
