Default Which is the best amp

I currently have the rocker series with the 259 watt amp that came in the bike

This winter I'm thinking of a kenwood head unit with xm and hawg wired interface and some focal 6.5 speakers


As for the amp I was looking at the jl audio
hx 280/4

My question is should I keep the amp that's in the bike or just buy the jl audio one ? Looking for some opinions

Here are some specs on some amps that will fit in the fairing
The amps that are 6 inches wide may be tight an require special skills.
