Default Sound System upgrade

Hello to the forum!


I am looking to upgrade the amp in my current system on a 2002 FLHTC. I currently have an alpine UTE-52BT head unit, one pair of alpine SPR-60C speakers in the fairing with two tweeters, One pair Alpine SPR-60 coaxials in the fairing lowers, and an alpine KTP-445A amplifier. I have ran this system for a couple of years, and am looking for an amplifier to increase the power to the speakers and give me a boost in volume, what would be some good alternatives, I would prefer to keep my current speaker set up.

There is a sound stream 4.520 in the classifieds right now that would wake them up good. I'm not familiar with the speakers you have but that's a lot of power for not a lot of money. Just a thought...

You can get a dam good amp for $400 bucks. Here's a couple good ones:

You can run all four of your speakers in parallel off the BT2180. Excellent power for those Alpine speakers. Or you can go with the Fosgate 4 channel.
