First off I am not a professional stereo guy. But I do enjoy good quality music. This has led me to where im at today with my GL. I have had alot of trials and errors in getting my music where I want it to be. Thru this I have learned alot of things. One of these things IMO is to stop looking at my GL as a motorcycle but as a car that is not equiped with a good system, for instance if I put a speaker in a door then take the outside door panel off and expect it to sound good what would I do? I would put a enclosure around the speaker. When I have seen kick panels made by professionals who do this out of fiber glass using a 5 inch to 6 inch speaker it is always a sealed enclosure. IMO this allows the amp or source of power to have full control of the speaker. When you look at companys like alpine, rockford F, kicker an etc in almost all cases when they provide numerous boxes you can have when they talk about SQ- sound quality 99% of the time this is a sealed enclosure. i looked up you radio it provdes 52 watts of peak power. IMO this is probably about 17 watts rms without distortion. Your speakers are rated at 45 watts rms. One of the downsides to a sealed enclosure it takes more power to operate the speaker. This being said IMO I would suggest something like a 30 watt amp at 4 omhs into your 2 omhs speaker which should give you a good 45 watts with absolutely no distortion. You will hear mid bass like you have never heard before.This will allow your amps and your radio to run cooler and volume not to be as high giving you much better SQ. Once again this is only my opinon. You are not that far from me, I have no problem coming that way and letting you hear it for yourself. I have been at this for about 3 years and a few headaches. Maybe I can save you atleast 1 headache. Good wishes
