I watched your video a few days ago. That's what started all of this. I want to add a sub or two eventually. You did a great job!

Instead of the SS amp, how about the Cerwin Vega B54 to drive everything? I would like to have FM reception. From what I have read the soundstream amps kill FM reception. Also will I need a bracket?

The B54 will probably kill FM too. With what you want your budget wont work. A Stinger SPX700.4 will save your FM but cost almost twice as much as the SS.

I may have a problem. I ordered the Kappas for the tour pack, when I was about to purchase the mmats 601.4cx I noticed the mmats 601.4cx I only come in 4 or 8 ohms. The Kappas are 2.7 ohm. Do I need to cancel the Kappas, or just get another pair of them for the fairing and call good?

That Kappas will be fine. You are fine running different ohm speakers off of different channels of the amp.

That is awesome news! I will get the mmats speakers ordered, and I'm going to get the spider700 to save my FM signal. Thank you all for helping! One more question I am going to try these with the factory head unit to leverage the cb and see how it does. If it's still a bomb then I will get the new head unit too.Will the stinger handle the speaker outputs as lines in?

Because I want to have FM reception I think I will go with the Stinger 700x4 unless there is something else I should consider. Will I need a bracket to mount it?
