Default advice needed
Ok i'm going to buy the aquatic av h/u, it states power 4x45w(4ohms)/4x72w(2ohms), amplifier class a/b (2ohms). I would like to run the kappa 62.11i speakers they are 2 ohms. My question is will the 2 ohm speakers be fine? thanks

The speakers will be fine. However, your spending a **** ton of money for a HU and speakers for minimal results without adding an amp.

Yes, the speaks will be fine with that, although they will be hungry for more power. You may need an additional amp to hear them well at speed.

I'm going to get the one with the built in 288w amp and if its not enough I'll add on. My buddy has it on his roadglide and loves it without a amp. thanks but if I do need an amp what would be a good one? Its going in my 12 ultra and want it to mount in fairing, and keep fm.

Gonna definitely need an amp!! Take a look at any of the Arc, Biketronics or Rockford amps to maintain FM.

I have that unit in my 2011 ultra along with the biketronics amp. I'm sure there are better combinations that cost less & sound better but for plug & play this works great.
