The Arc and Fosgate were tested by Slye and hit rated numbers. AAWAV also tested the Fosgate and 4180 previously. We have a limit to how many amps AAWAV can do so I'd like to maximize his time on some of the premium amps being widely used across the motorcycle audio industry.
The HDP4 would be cool too, but having ran that amp for a while I can say with confidence that amp does rated power. No secret there!! What I'm really curious to test are these amps that cost a lot of money and have some solid published numbers....are they really making those numbers?? Things are always evolving and changing, new products always being released -- let's test those. Someone asked about the MMats 6150...that amp has a ridiculous price tag, but would be super neat to try that out and introduce it to the group with solid numbers.

Alex,
I know the price on that is up there but, I would consider using one IF I could fit it in the fairing of the RG.
Now I would have one question, is there a way of running channels with different inputs? What I mean here is, with the DSP I may want 2 sets of Mmats coming from the same signal on the DSP into say channels 1/2 and 3/4, then another channel out of the DSP into channels 5/6 on that amp. (I guess the next step is a second DSP or a larger unit)
If this is not possible then I wouldn't see much use for an amp this large that will only have controls on the AMP and not allow someone to get really granular with the tuning.
