Default Thinking about a new amp

and maybe rear speakers.

Im now running a SS pn4.1000d, mmats 601.4s with DTX26Ts in the fairing, and Pioneer pro 6x9s in the bags. Been happy with this, but thinking about maybe upgrading.
Anything new amps available that will be substantially better? Same question for the bag speakers.
2012 UL

Thanks in advance!

I ditched the Soundstream PN4.1000d for the Stinger SPX700X4
in my Street Glide (running with MMats in the fairing) and am extremely happy with it. Good time to buy, they just had about a $50 price reduction on the Stinger on Amazon, now @$175.

Stingers right now on amazon for $175. Hard to beat that price.

mid take the Sd 800.4 or 1200.4 with adjustable crossovers over the stinger personally.

louder for sure. Sound quality is damn close between the two for me. The few stingers I’ve used have been ok, but don’t overly impress me
