The hard part is over. The rest will be a breeze. If your bike is an Ultra or SG you'll want to install the Kappas "inside" the pods. Do a search here and you'll find some threads on how it's done.

It's a Road Glide. I'm going to seal the pods while I'm in there too. I also saw where some people were putting polyfil inside as well. Do I wire up the speakers normal or in parallel? Thanks again!

You will wire them normally.

No you'd need a 4ch amp. Which one depends on your budget and speaker choices as well as your end game plan so you don't have to buy again. That being said, the SoundStream pn4.1000 has gobbs of power for 2 and 4ohm speakers. Lacks a little sound quality but from a cost perspective it's a damn good amp.

The Cerwin Vega is the ticket if you are going to run the Infinity Kappa's exclusively. If you have plans of eventually running 4 ohm speakers the soundstream 1000D is your best bet. It will also perform extremely well with the Kappa's. I would kill two birds with one stone and go with the SS amp. Once you start upgrading it never ends with the first upgrade.

Ok great! Will it be noticeable different in sound between 2 amps with kappas? I been contemplating speaker lids but not sure if it's worth it. If I do it won't be til next winter. Haha decisions decisions.

I've had both those amps with the Kappa's and to my ears SS all the way. The music is more dynamic with the SS. With the Cerwin Vega it's like "that sounds really nice" with the SS it's like "HOLY ****" LOL!!
