oh yeah velcro forgot about that. Yeah I called Best Buy and they are out of stock everywhere local. Walmart doesn't carry them in stock. EBay and Amazon both have them but say they will have it arrive between November 6 and 10 but I don't want to wait that long and none will give you the option to overnight. Willing to pay the extra 30-40 bucks to get it overnighted but nobody seems to want to get it to me. After you guys suggested the power acoustics rz4 2000 D I read some other posts about it and I'm definitely sold on it for only a hundred bucks. Just need to find someone that actually wants to sell it to me haha. Guess that's my job for the day before I have to do Halloween stuff with the kids. also have to find that speaker ring adapter locally or somewhere they will overnight it because eBay is also saying I can't get it as quick as I want.

Man this forum is great....and Salty good attitude brother listening to the suggestions. You're gonna end up with a system that will enjoy 100 times over what you had planned.
Amp - If Johns gonna give you a hand get the PN4.1000D from amazon on 2 day shipping for 150.00. I recommended the RZ42000D because it's 100 bucks and a tad smaller so it's an easy fit.....and the Kappas sound great with that amp. The PN4.1000D is a better amp, it's also 50 bucks more but it can be a bitch to fit in the fairing.....but it fits. If you are considering paying next day shipping for the RZ4, then just get the bigger better amp. Johns crammed one into his fairing so he can give you some tips.
Just a thought if you can't land an RZ4-2000D by Mon-Tuesday time frame.

Just plain john I will have my fairing pulled and speakers out tomorrow. I'll shoot you a text when I have all in hand on mon-tues and see if your still free. I'm heading to Lonestar Thurs-sat so same deal as you.
Also.... which?

Both were suggested earlier in post... if I wanted to spend the extra 50 bucks. I have an Amazon Prime account and completely forgot I would get free two-day shipping. Both of these are Amazon which of the two would you pick with the Kappas? Didn't know if one was easier to fit in the fairing than the other or maybe better? or is it really just brand name and they're pretty much the same. And I have noticed all have suggested 4 channel so I could possibly ad speakers later. What if I did 2 channel amp is there a 2 channel that's equal to rz4-2000d for the $100 ish? Like rz2-2000d or something... or not? Or should I just do 4 channel rz4-3000d or pn4-1000d?
Also is this the correct ring adapter? the reviews on Amazon were horrible saying that they don't fit most speakers. Is that the case with most rings? I found everything now on Amazon Prime but not sure if you have the correct rings. It would be ideal to get everything on Amazon but if I have to get the ring somewhere else tell me where

From the amps, I'd get the PN4.1000D only because I saw the RZ4-3000D was discontinued, but they are the exact same amp. For a 2 channel amp the Cerwin B2 is your best find, but I've seen them going for about 120ish. For 30 bucks more you're better off with the 1000D. On a tighter budget and from amazon get this 2 channel one:
From your lists:
Amp wiring kit - get 8awg
Speakers are correct
Rings get the Metra brand
Polyfill, you want it to be a roll. You will end up with 2 "sheets" behind your speakers so you need a roll of it.
Amazon.com: Precision Power i350.2 PPI iON Series 350 Watts Class D 2-Channel Amplifier: Car Electronics

haze324 I ordered everything on Amazon yesterday and got some great deals plus all guaranteed to be here on Tuesday.
Infinity Kappas $119
Wiring Kit $11.47 (I got 8awg like you said)
PolyFill $5 (went to walmart and found the small roll off high loft)
Adapter Ring $15 (only thing I didnt follow your advise because Metra was 4-5 day shippping on ebay and amazon so went with the one I posted earlier in a link.. hope it works but I took a gamble)
Amp Rz4-2000d $74.98!!!! (popped up last minute on Amazon saying "one left in stock" and I got the amp I was hoping to find and would pair well with speakers for cheap)
So $226 Total and free 2 day shipping. Now I just need to run to home depot and buy some decent velcro. Thanks for everyones help... seriously.

You would be money ahead to follow my friends HAZE and AAWAV's advice. Both those guys know their s**t. But if you must run the Booms. Here's a cheap little amp that will suit your needs, although I highly recommend you take the aforementioned advice.
