90 watts rms may be true, but you mentioned putting 2 speakers in series to get the 4 ohm load so you will be dividing that wattage between the 2 speakers, so 45 to 50 watts each speaker.

To start with that amp is a under performer and really not good for a sled. You have been given good advise but choose to try and find a way around it. Good luck on your journey and report back on your success.

You could pick up 2 pairs of the mmats 601cx and the stinger spx 700 amp for about 600 and run them in the fairing and lowers. That would get you really good loud sound. Then later on pick up some rear speakers and maybe another amp if needed.

500 is just to tight for something decent.

Sometimes I am just hard headed and dont wanna believe that it takes more than a $1000 to do thiis but it is what it is. Im either gonna have to back off this or make a decision to spend more money.
Maybe Ill get lucky and find a deal on some previously enjoyed stuff.

Thanks again and I will report back on what I decide to do.
