Default Rockford Fosgate

I have the RF 300x4 and I keep blowing speakers. I have used (Focal 165 CA1)
and (Kicker CSS 65) both are supposed to be able to handle 75w RMS each. I don't want to use component speakers because I don't really know where to put the extra tweeters. I am thinking using the (Rockford Fosgate PPPS4 6.5) speakers to go with my amp. I know they are not Marine Rated but does anyone have any info on this set up? Has anyone used the speakers on a bike yet?

Not many folks running mid range drivers here with separate tweeters. I agree 75w from the PBR should not be blowing out your speakers man.

The Kicker KSC67 line I believe is rated at 100w RMS. Take a look at those.

Any kicker cs series blow, they sell that crap at wal mart. Go with something with a bridge mounted tweeter, not a coaxial like the polks or kappas. Rockford makes a great set in their t series (the power), sound is amazing.

The Kicker CS series and KS series are great little speakers on a budget and they only blow if they are operating at high distortion levels.

You can only use 4 ohm speakers with the PBR300X4 So the infinity's will not work as they are 2 ohm speakers. I would use the kickers up front as well. The Alpines need more power than the X4 can provide to sound good.

I'll put my BT/HAT coaxials up against your RF t series any day of the week.

Power doesn't kill speakers, at least not in these applications - distortion does.
