Will a Stinger SPX700X4 push 6 speakers?
Will a Stinger SPX700X4 push 6 speakers? And what ohm would they need to be? Looking to replace existing setup with 6 Polk MM series speakers or similar in same price range and one amp like the stinger.

I am asking for suggestions on speakers like the MM polks. Bike is a road glide setup with 4 speakers 6.5 inch in fairing and 2 in bag lids, lids are 5.25 now but may chabge to 6x9 and new lids. Not looking for super high end $$ stuff as you can see by Stinger and polk thinking.

I ran six speakers off of a more powerful amp than the Stinger you are thinking of and quickly grew tired of not being able to independently adjust the volume of the four speakers in parallel, which is what you would generally need to do to run six speakers off of a four channel amp. Things just did not "balance out" so to speak. The only way to "properly" do that with six speakers is with six independent channels.
In my limited experience I think you would be better pleased with running the Stinger on the front four speakers only and getting something like a Cerwin Vega B52 running some 6x9s in the lids.
That being said I just realized you never mentioned the word "lowers" in your original post so I may not be giving you the best info. If all four of your 6.5s in the upper fairing are up top you could run four 4 ohm Polks with two in parallel on each of the front two channels of the amp leaving the rear channels to drive your rear speakers. Once you go to 6x9s though I don't know how loud they would get on that 125W a piece.
I think Gypsye may be pushing some 6x9s with that amp maybe he can advise.

Quickunner, I see your in indy. I am currently running a 6 speaker setup (not counting the horns) with 6.5 fairing, 6.5 lowers and 6x9 lids. The stinger is running the fairing and lids. i have a nvx vadm4 running the lowers off half of it right now. I will tell you that the stinger will do justice with the 4 speakers but if you add lowers then you will need another amp like a nvx micro amp to have the ability to tune each set locations independently and to do your setup justice. You might be able to get away with running the fairing and lowers parrellel off 1 side of the stinger if they all are 4 ohm and very efficient like the wdx motos in the fairing and hertz sv's in the lowers. Pm me as we can hook up if you want to hear my junk and we can discuss it since i am in indy too. BTW I originally ran my 6x9's on the vadm4 bridged but when i put in the mmats 690cx in my lids, i found they had a bit better SQ off the rear channels of the stinger vs. bridged. Just a damn nice 6x9.

Easy fix, just add an inline line level volume control between the speakers and amp. You could actually mount it near the amp.

No lowers, I have the inner fairing cut for two 6.5's facing the forks (its an 05 roadglide) and 2 in the stock location. Looking for economical solution to get better sound at speed for me and passenger. Current setup is dual amp, but has blown channel in rockford pbr amp that feeds lids, two facing fork still play. And the hogtune amp thats feeding 2 speakers in stock location is getting long in the tooth. Want to replace all 6 speakers and amp situation on tight budget. So maybe back to my original idea of a CVb52 & a CV b54 to feed 6 Polk MM speakers is probably my cheapest loudest way out?

That would give you 140 watts for each fairing speaker vs. 80 with the B54 for around the same money.

Is the SS PN4.1000d much bigger size wise than a rockford pbr 300x4 ? I know the CVb54 &52 are about the same and would fit but sounds like the SS is more powerfull. How does the SS stack up size wise and power wise against the Stinger I mentioned? Sounds like if I want to keep 6 speakers I am going to have to stay with 2 amps.
