Default Looking for Amp Suggestion

Hello all. Not sure that this is possible but I am looking for a good amp which will fit in the fairing of a '14 street glide and power 6 speakers - 6.5's in the fairing, 6x9's in the lids and 8" subs in the bags.

Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions. This forum is always extremely helpful.

you'd be better off with 2 separate amps to accomplish your goals.

4 channel to run your fairing and lids

either a 2 channel or mono amp to run your subs

Almost impossible to do what you want to do with one amp on a motorcycle.

Thanks for the feedback. That's what I thought. I have a RF 300.2 that I guess I can use for the subs and I'll pick up a 4 channel Amp for the others.

I know you can get 2 PBR300X2 under the faring, RF has a 4 channel that is the same size as the 2 channel as long as it meets your speaker ohms, you can get both up front. Its a tight fit it took a couple tries to get it.

These are in a 14 Limited

Nice Pic Tinnman! Quite a few guys always ask if two PBR's will fit in the 14's and your pic pretty much verifies the answer. Thanks for sharing!
