Exclamation Another AMP question

2010 SG, have a set of Polk Audio MM652s in the fairing, and Aquatic AV head unit. Audio is not my thing that's for sure, I've read a lot of threads on these damn things and so many different opinions no strait answers. The amp kits on JP are just outrageously overpriced! I called Polk to ask and they recommended PA D2000.2 which is fine and dandy but that doesn't include the mounting bracket and wiring necessary. Looking to use these speakers for what they're made for, BIGGEST bang for my cheap buck!

Lots of guys running the Cerwin-Vega B52 Stealth Bomber Class D Amp ($135).


Then you need some 8 gauge power and ground wires, remote wire and set of RCA's.


Your amp bracket is homemade: plywood, Velcro and some zip ties.


Boom, your done!

Either one of these will make those Polks scream and no mount bracket needed.

Thanks, just bought the Cerwin-Vega B52 Stealth Bomber Class D Amp. Pretty cheap, hopefully its not one of those instances where you get what you pay for. Local parts store should have the 8 gauge, remote should be in my tool box and mounting shouldn't be a problem I hope.

Quick change of subject any recommendations of shaving the handlebar bolts. My stock radio died and from what i read it was from vibration on those two forward bolts on 9s and 10s.

Nope. The stock HK radio go out very very frequently. Leave bolts alone.

Yes sir. It might even have front and rear. Can't remember what mine had, but I know it has at least one set.

Rear only is sufficient for my fairing speakers. The idea is they will be loud enough that bag lid speakers are not necessary.
