Default little help needed...

Long story short, I need a little help with the setup in my streetglide....local audio shop put a set of arc moto 602 in my fronts....I had to replaced headunit with aquatic last year....I also have the RF 300x2 amp in there as well...It doesn't sound so well and I can't figure out why...we thought it was because the the rf 300x2 was meant for 2 ohm speakers and I now have 4ohm speakers installed...should I replace the amp with the 4 channel version since it is 4ohm stable???

Those speakers need at least 150watts rms each. I'd get a Cerwin B52 for them.

someone wired it incorrectly then. Make sure you're HPF is not flipped on or too high.

It's not the speakers.

It's that amp with those speakers.

Slye is dead on with the 150 watts for the Moto's. I would take it a step further and purchase the Cerwin Vega B54 and bridge it to the Moto's. Forget about the 288 watts on the aquatic. Once you add an external amp the internal amp from the HU is disabled. The Moto's are superior to the Polks. You just need some power to push those babies. The PBR300X2 doesn't make the cut.
