Wiring comfirmation about PN4.520D amp
Just bought a new Soundstream PN4.520D and I need confirmation about wiring it into my stock head unit. I'm only going to use it as a 2 channel amp at the moment using my batwing speakers (Hogtunes 914.2). I don't see any reason to use the hi/low level converters and just wire direct into the high level inputs on the amp. The amp in 4-channel mode is 100W RMS and my speakers are only 50W RMS with 100W max so no need to bridge it. If/when I add saddlebag speakers I would then go with new head unit at the same time thus eliminating the need for hi/low converters anyway. Is my thinking wrong? The other question is do I run it off the front or rear or does it make a difference with this amp? Any input is much appreciated.

Should have no problems with using the high level inputs. Most people do. The amp will work fine only using two channels without bridging it. The only thing I might add is, you need to be very careful setting your gains. That amp will easily overpower those Hogtunse speakers. The Hogtunes speakers may be rated at 50 watts RMS, but the Soundstram 4.520 puts out 130 watts with 2-ohm speakers, not 100. 100 watts is for 4-ohm speakers. You might want to consider upgrading them at some point in your build.

I would just be conservative on setting the gains. You sound like you have a handle on everything else.

also when you go 4 speakers, no need to swap head unit if you don't want to. you simply need to make a pinned wire for pins 1,2,24,25 of the head unit's 35 pin connector (currently unused on your setup) and you'll have rear outputs. If you want the fader to work on the head unit, you'll have to drop by a dealership and let them flash it to activate.
