Default '15 RGS amp?

Hey all! I've got a '15 RGS that I've put a Hawgwired RS400 amp & JL C3 650's in & now I'm looking for more! I'm looking a Shoupes new 7x10 lids, but not married to them, I don't like the looks of lowers so I'm wanting lids! My question is what amp should I get to power the lid speakers or replace the hawgwired with something that will power all 4? I haven't been super impressed with the RS400, so if it's best to replace I will!

Thanks
Troy

Those JL C3's are dam nice speakers!! Too nice for that subpar amp. PM my friend haze324 He's got a super hot deal on an amp that will drive those speakers to their full potential.

Thanks for the heads up! I actually did some reading and ordered th pa rz4 3000! My thoughts sre to hook it up bridged for now and wait to see what I want to do about lids! I'm not sure it will fit under my deck but if it doesn't I'll just sell it on here!

I hear you man. I have not tested fitment in a RG yet so I'm not sure if it will fit. If it does fit let us know. On another note: No need to bridge the PA 3000 with those speakers. The PA will give those speakers all they can handle without the bridge. I'm running JL C5's in my fairing as we speak with the PA 3000 and trust me you don't want to bridge em!!

Well the pa 3000 is to big for the fairing of the rg, without a bunch of work & I'm still not sure! Looks like the cherokee is getting a bigger amp! Back to the search!

Of the failed attemp? No pics! I pulled the deck, no way it would fit sideways so I tried front to back had it all the way up on the headlight and still wasnt going to fit even if I took the end caps off! I'd say if was the most important thing in the world I'd start cutting faring mounts and fabbing up brackets but its not tjat big of a deal!

Strange. A member here has a 2011 RG (austinslider) Post #10

And it fit his glide just fine. I guess the 15 is a different animal. Anyway if you can swing the Arc Moto 600.4 I'm positive it will fit.

Ya I assuming there's a huge difference between an '11 & a '15! Sorry I'm not a great pic guy I just get started on a project & don't like seeing my bike apart any longer than it has to be so I just keep pushing forward! I'm sure if I felt like cutting faring supports apart & doing a bit of fab work it will fit, I just really don't feel like going to that extent to put an amp in! The Arc is at the top of the list right now!

Thanks
Troy
