I seem to recall a while back folks were getting burned with counterfeit Polk speakers. I can understand your concern.

Put 2 NVX VADM4s on the amp tray and get possibly over 200 watts per speaker for equal or less cash than the Stinger.
Opens up ur world to any damn watt hungry speaker on the market. Maybe a sneaky Beyma coax that one of our forum "friends" that has a "friend" that has access to? Maybe the Gen 2 DB Dive WDX 6 Moto?

This industry has moved so far off the dirt road in the last few years I hope everyone diving in moves with it.

Two vadm4's is a hell of an idea. Way to think outside the box. They both would fit on the stock amp tray too.

Dang y'all don't scare him off, he's finally ready to get started!

I do have a question though I've thought about in the past. When you bridge a four channel amp does that introduce a little bit more distortion or is that not an issue?

Distortion, probably doubtful and also manageable.

A degradation in SQ? The potential exists but I don't think ur gonna get a cut and dried answer to that question as there are way too many factors involved to have a general one size fits all answer. Hell, some amps may sound better bridged based on a specific objective.

2 cents.

Well so far I’ve ordered the lower fairing pods and grills. In a few days I’ll order the amp and wiring then the speakers . It’s only 14 degrees here today so there’s no real hurry. But I’m happy to have everything locked in. Thanks to all who put in their 2 cents and helped me out. I’ll update as I go.
