Default which Amp?
I have a hogtunes 70.2 amp installed in my SG now. I just installed the Polk Audio MM651's and they sound good. I am planning to upgrade the Amp I am wondering which will be better, the Soundstream PN2.350D or the Rockford Fosgate pbr 300x2 Punch amp? I see good reviews on both, I would like to have volume with clarity. there is only a few $$ between the cost of them. any and all advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If your gonna stay with just the fairing speakers then go with the RF. but if you plan on adding more speakers then go with the ss.

the ss is a 2 channel amp so I would only be running the 2 speakers. I don't plan on adding extra speakers down the road.

No FM interference issues with the RF amp.

+1 on the RF. Best bang for your buck and works great with the Polks.

Which adapter rings did you use for the MM651's. I saw some on eBay that said they would not always work with the Polk speakers.
