Amp Help
Picked up some SBD lids and JL 770s from Bagger Bill and some JL ZR650 csi's from Tesnevo. Thanks guys. Now I gotta amp up. I have read some posts and know that the Arc 600.4, Dia 800.4 or the BT 4180 are all capable but my budget is way blown in spite of good deals on the speakers. This is my first audio build and I anxious to hear the pay off. Any suggestions for a low cost amp or is it best to save and wait for the next batch of amp test results? Would 100 watts a channel be adequate?
Regarding the JL ZR650 csi's put them in the pods or BT speaker mounts and more $$$? Already figure I need the BT line levelers and a flash to 4 speakers no amp. Damn this is getting expensive
So we can help you better what exactly are you trying to achieve. Finish what I started about $500 - $700 left in a blown budget. Use the potential of what I got.
How many speakers are you planing on, and there locations? 2 in the lids 2 in fairing
Do you have any particular type of speakers in mind? See above
What is the current radio installed? Factory Boom 6.5
What type of music do you listen to? Classic rock reggae mostly Greateful Dead
Do you plan on doing the install yourself? Hope to but feel a bit over my head
And what is the budget? Above can go higher if I save for a bit but would like to hear the grand I've spent.
Thanks for your help.

The BT speaker mounts are the way to go particularly with quality speakers like those.
If you were to go with the SS 1000D amp the Rushmore amp tray would need to modified as Babyboy did here, or purchase the JM amp tray. Just something to consider.

No amp tray mods needed for the ARC 600.4. It will sit in the stock tray real nice.

Good weather forecast for Monday. Goin to ride to the dealer and get flash for 4 speakers no amp? Like a stock Ultra? Fade enabled? Is there something I need to tell them regarding a bin file? Will getting the flash have an impact on the 6.5 stereo operation prior doing my install? How can I tell if the dealer actually did what I asked prior to actual install?

Most techs won't have a clue what a .bin file is.
The flash should not effect the HU operation.
The .bin file may change. And Fade should be visible or faded out.
What is the current audio software version. Don't let them install version 1.20.2. It's so full of bugs HD has already pulled it off there site.
