Best 6 speaker amp

The one thing to keep in mind is if you want to be able to hear all three speaker locations equally you will need the ability to adjust the volume of them independently, which would ideally require either a hoss of a six channel amp or one good amp for the front four speakers and a smaller one for the rear pods.
If you just want the pods for your passenger you could run the lowers and rears off of one channel of the amp if they are all the same type of four ohm speaker. I did this for a while but quickly got tired of not being able to hear the rears when I had the lowers balanced with the fairing speakers. Some folks will recommend running the fairing and lower speakers off of one channel but usually in that setup you can't hear the lowers very well because the fairing speakers are closer to you.
Just my .02...

I have run six 6.5" speakers on a JL XD600/6 and it sounded pretty damn good. All speakers were higher efficiency, 93db and up. Speakers will definitely make a difference in amp choice

could you not go with JL600/6 and run 4 ohm speakers in bridge/series? Just asking in case he already has 4ohm speakers. That amp will bridge at 4ohm....

It would do no good running in series. The right speaker with higher sensitivity will be fine straight up if they are 4 ohm

I couldn't vote, it has no option for none of the above!!
As a couple write in candidates
JL600.6 bridged/parallel on 8ohm speakers
Massive TX48 in several configurations, bridged/parallel with 8ohm. Parallel with 4ohm efficient speakers or a combination of both.
Edit..... Focal Sport Amp also.
