Default Time for a speaker change… Advice??

I have questions, so I am turning to th experts….. Y'all!!!

I am currently running the SSPicasso Nano 4.520 with 2 sets of Kicker CS 67. 1 set in the fairing, and one set in the tour pak pods.
They have served their purpose, but I would like to get more sound out of my speakers. I typically run without the Tour Pak (only need it when the wife goes for a ride) and I'm in a position to only to the front speakers now. The Kickers pop at a about sound level 40, which is just a bit quieter than I would like. Also a bit more depth or bass (which I know is almost impossible) would be nice. Any suggestions?? My head unit is the SonyDSX S310btx..

Man I think those speakers can get pretty loud. I think your amp may not be able to get any louder, not your speakers. If you can swing it, I'd get the new SS PN4.1000D AND speakers.

I had Kappas in my bike for a while, and the bigger the better the amp....the better and louder those speakers sounded.

As HAZE said that 520.D is a very nice amp. But once you hear the 1000D you realize right off the bat the 520.D does have it's limitations. HUGE difference in sound. If you want to step up speaker wise the 7.1's from Biketronics is the way to go. But you need that 1000D to make them sing!!!

Thank you for the info…..
It looks like the amp will be first on the list, then the BT 7.1!!!!!

Not the info you are looking for. But, after renting a 2014 Rushmore for a week, my 2012 system is anemic in comparison. So, guess what I'll be doing shortly.

Sound Stream and Power Akoustic are the same thing, in this case the PA amp model is RZ4 3000D. $149 on Amazon at last check.

What kickers are you refering to? I've heard those JBL 6.5's and the Kickers in the rear pod and the kickers have much more bass than the JBL's? What is your set up?
