Do you have any pictures of your installation? And this is the same amp as the Soundstream PN4.1000D, right?

Basically the same amp. Sorry bad timing on the pictures, I just took it apart last night to put in a new head unit. Many folks have done this, maybe one of them can share a pic. With most amps you put in you will need to move some wires around. Sorry I couldn’t help more.

You are correct. The rz2000 is the same as the SS pn4.520.

i'm with Yooperhog, cerwin vega b52, will do the trick at your price range, and only a 2 speaker setup.

I want the option to add lower speakers, so a 4 channel amp is paramount.

Most folks go with 4ohm speakers to build their systems. The B54 only puts out 80 watts at 4ohms. Severely anemic for 4ohm applications.
