Default Speaker and Amp upgrade

Does any one know or have personal experience with the Arc amp 300 watt and the arc Moto speakers? I am looking to upgrade my speakers and put in a amp on a 15 Street Glide Special and looking at two systems. I have no idea which is better or could be about the same. The second system is a Rockford Fosgate? Anyone have and input they can share?

Thanks,

For now just the front speakers. I will add lids with speakers at a later date possibly.

I would try and find solid 4 channel amp that will sit on the amp tray that can push approx 150x4@4ohm and 225-250x4@2ohm.
The specific amp will depend on your budget #.

I have a pair of 602's that were on a '16 SGS with a Fosgate amp, I really enjoyed that combo, allowed me to hear everything at freeway speeds. ARC amp may work better, the Fosgate I have never quit, but I was concerned about the heat.

A good all around sounding front stage set up I just installed on my dad's bike was a set of DD AUDIO CC 6.5 COMPONENT powered by a DD D4 amp and a BT355 line leveler.
There is a video in the sticky section of this set up

I went with a biketronix breakout harness, biketronix line levelers, Hogtunes speakers front and rear (2014 Ultra) and an Alpine 445u amp. All pretty much plug and play. Sounds great! Crisp and clear sound.
