Possibly JL HX280/4 under the metal plate the amp is mounted to. Have to move some wires but it might work

If it were me I’d be looking at a small amp to
power the 6x9’s, leave the rest as is and add a DSR1 or Arc PSM. Your bike will sound significantly better tuned correctly then just adding 25-40w more watts to two speakers. The answer isn’t always more amps!

Thanks for taking the time to drop by Haze. If you don't mind I'd like to lay out my long term goals and see what you think.

Right now the SS PN4.1000d is powering the Motos in the batwing on the front channel, and the rear channel has four ADs on it (lowers and rear pods). Due to the way the SS amp works each AD is still getting about 120 watts and they sound good. In the future though I am looking to replace that SS amp with something more FM friendly. There are stations just out of range now that I like to listen to while driving my truck. Most of those amps I have seen though do not ramp up the wattage when dropping from 4 ohms to 2 like the SS does, so that was why I was thinking of getting the rear pod speakers off of the SS since I am going to have to buy an amp of some type to power the 6x9s anyhow.

Does that make sense the way I explained it?

Also would you be able to elaborate as to what I would use a DSP for? I was just going to get some RCA Y adapters to split off the preamp outputs from the head unit and use one of those ***** you use to adjust the signal going to a sub amp to adjust the signal input to the second amp. I've got nothing against DSPs it's just that right now I don't know where I would put one and at this point I'm not looking forward to the learning curve.

Again I appreciate y'all helping me hash this out.
