Default Advice on new system

I have Hogtune 70.2 amp driving HT speakers and a tweeter pod now.
I would like to improve this. The pbr300x2 and kappa's in the faring would do the trick. I have lowers, what combination would be good to build a 4 channel system using the lowers?

What is the best combination to improve sound and gain the best bang for the bucks?

The bike is a 2012 FLHTC.

Thanks for the help,
SJ

Soundstream pn4 1000d and 2 sets of the infinity kappas would probably do the trick

Why 1000? Amazon has a 520 watt 4 channel. Just wondering?

Will the sound stream kill FM? Is there a 4 channel amp that doesn't kill FM?

I'm looking at the speaker pods to go into my lowers. Ebay has lots of them. Anyone know which one isn't thin crap plastic? They must of course fit the Infinity Kappa 62.111 speakers.

The 1000D is much more powerful than the 520.D. If you ever decide to switch out the kappas and go to 4 ohm speakers you want the 1000D in there. Now you can get away with running the 520.D with the kappas because of their 2 ohm impedance. But the kappas sound even better with the 1000D. Your call bro!

Some guys lose it. Some guys don't. It's a crapshoot. Never an issue for me because I don't listen to FM. Yet I have a soundstream 1000D sitting directly on top of my radio and I get all my FM stations. The only 4 channel class D amp that's pretty much guaranteed to keep your FM is the BT4180 from Biketronics. I've heard rumors that the diamond amps keep FM as well but I have not personally tested that amp so for me it's still a rumor until me or one of my trusted forum brothers test it.
