Hog Tunes, Hog wired, Biketronics
Just to bad there isn't a way to hear them all. I need to get an amp and speakers now that I have my pipes good and loud. I was set on Hawg Wired then I went to their website and found they have 120 watt and 150 watt amps. Then they have 2 ohm and 4 ohm speakers. What's the big difference? Then I found out about biketronics. They look good too. I was thinking Hog Tunes but not sure if they will be loud enough.
This sucks. Wish they had all these brands at Best Buy and Circuit City and you could test them all. I want to hear the difference.
Bummer.

No such luck on that, these are smaller companys working off internet sales only. You'll have to rely on free advice and you get what you pay for. I'm happy withmyBiketronics set up, it's not super loud but I can hear it at 80 and itsounds clean.

Just like the motor...more power is better!
Remember that you have to overcome 50-80mph worth of wind noise, so the louder it can go without distoring, the better.
With 2ohm vs. 4ohm, the amp will have to work harder (read hotter faster)to get the same volume level with the 4 ohm resistors (speakers)
I saw your other post about what amp to get... I didn't answer because you seem to be one of those folks that really isn't educated in the art of 12v electronics (and maybe you don't know someone who is). Therefore, my more than educated opinion would be to get one of the Plug & Play options you've listed above vs. doing something like I did with a "non-Harley" amp.
I don't have any experience with the products that are recommended on this site, so I guess if I were in your shoes, I would get the most amount of power I could for the lowest price I could.
If it was a difference of $50 or less from one manufactuer to another for the same power, I wold then go with whichever one has the best service/return policy. According to the forum, sounds like Pez might win that battle.

Biketronics is pretty easy to install. we just did another one and it is plug an play. If you can read instructions you can do it. If not their tech is excellent.

Easy install, same deal as in a car: power, ground, turn on lead and speakers. I ran the battery lead under the tank and zip tied it so I didn't have to lift the tank off. The whole install wasaround two hours taking my time.
I suppose I have the first generation amp from Biketronics, at least it's the only one they offered at the time. I'm using Polk/MomoMMC525 speakers and it sounds good. It's not audiofile quality but as I'm playing MP3's on a motorcycle it doesn't have to be. If you listento Ted Nugent it's great, but you might want to go louder if your into John Denver.
Hope this helps, shiny side up.
