At $250 I would say ur inside the sandbox but now it depends on what ur gonna connect it to. The 125@4 could be a concern depending on the speak. 250@2 could be damn good.

Really just depends on the overall speaker specs that u r gonna plug into it.

At this point, I want to do the fairing first then the rear pods but, in hte fairing I am looking at DD AW6.5 Mids, AT28 Tweets and either the Sony Mex70 HU or the Aquatic AV with xm. Eventually I will get the rear pods done too

If ur gonna run the AWs and ATs I would not use that amp to power those and also eventual pods. Those are damn good 4 ohm speakers and really do like 150+ watts with 175-200 watts being real close to the full pass sweet spot for these.

What would you suggest for an amp? Arc 600.4? for whole system (with Pods)

T, looks like he has a 2011

On a side note T, since upgrading my phones software the Garage Talk app doesnt work anymore. I have to use Google Chrome on my phone now, looks just like if i was on computer.
