New 2016 Road Glide Amp suggestions
Hey folks. I just got a new 2016 road glide special. Already replaced speakers with kicker 6.5 and need an amp. I put the soundstream picasso nano 4.520D in my 2010 ultra. I plan on putting speaker lids on soon as well. What is the best amp for size and output that fits best in the fairing?

Reason: Edit title
I personally went with the Biketronics 2180.14 in mine. Sound is good. There's quite a bit of room in there for an amp if you set it up right. BT has an amp mount that goes under the radio and is very solid. And no matter what amp you go with pick up the BT355 Line Leveler, it makes things a lot easier.

Thanks Tombo. Can you give me the approximate size available? example, 10"x5"x6"
So I'm not sure how tall the space is. The BT amps are 5x5x1.8 for the 2180 and 7x5x1.8 for the 4180. The mounting plate they have is adjustable up and down for a little more room in there and all of my wiring clears the headlight.
I've attached a picture for reference, my amp sits back from the circled tabs slightly. And there is are holes on either side that you can run wiring through if needed.
