Default Audio?

I'm currently running a Sony HU, with BT 7.1's in the fairing and BT 6.5's in my lower fairings with a SoundStream PN.4.520D Amp and I cannot complain as its loud and clear. Thanks UN............The only minor complaint is no FM reception!

My ? is I've been thinking about running two RF PBR 300X2 amps instead of the SoundStream amp. Obviously I would get FM reception back but would I lose or gain power? and what about clarity and overall sound? Bass? etc, etc

Thanks

Been there done that with the Titan 2's. Can't speak for the 7.1's but the Titan's were more powerful with the sound stream IMO.

Looking at the power ratings, they're comparable.

SOUNDSTREAMŽ PN4.520D
100 watts x 4 @ 4-Ohm
130 watts x 4 @ 2-Ohm
260 watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms Bridged

PBR300X2
100 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohm
150 Watts x 2 @ 2-Ohm
300 Watts x 1 @ 4-Ohm Bridged

So if I went with 2 PBR300x2 amps versus just the 1 PN4.520 amp would I gain more wattage to each of the four speakers? I want to keep each speaker on its own channel as it is now.
