Default 2007 SG Speaker Choices need advice

Need help in finding new speakers.

Current setup:
Stock head unit no problems yet and keeping it.
CVB4 amp
2-J&M 7.25. Have been running these for two years and blew the RT FT replacing these
2- RF T1692 6x9 lids. No problems for now.

Looking at these to replace the J&M front fairing speakers:

1. JL C3650 6.5"
2. Hawg wired ZX654-100 6.5"
3. Biketronics Titan II 7.1" Speaker BT7P1

Budget as you can tell is under $300

Help can't decide on which ones. Been to bike nights around here and not many people doing systems yet mostly fenders and wheels so far.

Honest answer -- the B4 amp doesn't really push as much as you need at 4ohm for any those speakers to sound great. You'll want the speakers with he highest sensitivity or 2 ohm speakers (like your J&M).

Gonna be hard to beat the Infinity Kappa 62.11 with the amp your running. You could upgrade the amp to the SS pn4.1000 and use any of the speakers you mentioned (I choose Biketronics) and have plenty of power to push them.

2010 Limited with some stuff

Damn I hate to buy a new amp again. I started with the J&M and an arc 125.2 mini added lids last winter and got the CV amp. But if I have to maybe I will.

Either get Kappas and stick with what you got...or get the PN4.1000D amp for 160.00 bucks and get any speaker you'd like. The BT's are gonna be tough to beat. Your taking 140w per channel vs 80. Big difference.

After a little more research and your input the The JL or the Kappa speakers are what I am looking at. The JL speakers I have listed the RMS power range is 25-75W.. Here is the link to Crutchfield for the speakers. If I am looking at this wrong or I will be pushing my amp to hard please tell me I can take it.

The JL C3's are really nice speakers. They sound awesome with the SS 1000D.

You can get them cheaper here:
