Default Audio questions

New member here, looking for advise on amp and speakers for a hoppe aftermarket fairing. I have the quadzilla fairing with the double din. I also have an alpine ine-w960hdmi HU. After looking at a lot of the posts here, I am more than certain that member Tailwind and or Gannicus would be more than helpful with my options. Not saying no one else could help here as I'm looking for suggestions from anyone. my cut outs are four 5" speakers, looking to change that if possible to two 6.5 and two 5.25. I do have an RF amp in the nacelle running two polk mm651 on my engine guard. My fairing will be coming on and off and if possible, I would like to change my speakers on engine guard and when fairing is on, work together with the fairing amp and speakers. Thanks in advance

Those speakers mounted from the front outer fairing? I worked on one this winter and I could not even get 5.25 polks to sit properly due to the curvature of that fairing where the speakers mount. so I think choices are definitely limited. With-out major modification and grinding.
