I've always been a fan of Polk speakers. Can't go wrong for a budget speaker. The Infinity Kappas are also a popular one, and on sale right now through Amazon
So the kappas are 150 watt each if I read it correctly. But are the polks 300w each or for the pair? Kappas are less than half the price so just wondering build quality and if they worth the extra money or not

The Kappas are 75watts each but I can assure you they'll handle that amp like a champ. And they're on sale on Amazon right now super cheap.

I can't find them cheap anymore. I saw them for like 66$ then my kid grabbed my phone and changed page. Now I can't find them anymore for that price

Yes Sir! As SB stated. You can run pretty much any speakers you want with that amp with plenty of power to spare.

The Kappas at $100 is still a good buy. I'd be awfully tempted to throw another $50 with that and go with the new Kappa 62ix. Kappas have always been a solid speaker and I expect this new release to be just as good or better than the 62.11i.

Are the polks at double the price worth it? If they are that much better I will go for it but want to know if it's worth 200 for them over 100-150 for kappas

Two totally different sounding speakers. The kappa's will be louder with more clarity but the Polks will be richer with a little more bass. As always it depends on the listener. With the sale Amazon has going on right now. Your best bang for the buck is gonna be the Kappas.

Oh shix!!!! Here we go again!!!!

Not directed at u OP!!! This seems to be a debate that usually turn into a discussion similar to a conversation about the inside of a ping pong ball.

U will get good warmth parked. The warmer freqs will gradually fade as the speed meter climbs. I don't like bright speakers so I chase the warm unicorn. Depends on what ur ears like, genres, riding style, etc....

I really appreciate all of the advice guys. Just trying to make best informed decision without being able to hear either speaker before purchase
