Default Best configuration

I am new to the configuration of stereo systems. This what I have and would like to know how to set up system. I have a 2008 ultra classic. What I have to work with is the stock head unit would like to keep it for now. I have a Rockford 4 channel 400 watt amp, Rockford 2 channel 300 watt amp. Speakers are polk audio 6x9 in speaker lids, 5.25 polk audio in the rear speaker pods, 6.5 polkaudio in the upper fairing, hogg tune 7in subwoofer in the lower fairing, and looking at the tweeter pods that goes along the top of upper fairing. So my question would be what would be the best way to configure this set up I appreciate your time for reading and any help you can give me. thank you Brian

The PBR300 is only 4ohm stable that forces you to use it on the DB521 and MM692 because they are 4ohm speakers. Be sure the MM692 are 692 and not 691.

The Hogtunes and the MM651 are 2ohm so the PBR400 will handle that 2ohm load and you should hook those up to it.

One speaker per channel on each amp.
The MM692 would really benefit from some more power but this will get you started.

Whoops I looked at PBR 300x4.

That makes it even more complicated.

I think in that case I would try the the MM651 on the pbr300x2. The Hogtunes on the front channel of the pbr400x4 and the MM692 and DB521 on the rear channel.

These are all just my opinion and the are a hundred different ways.
