Default Amp recommendation for RG
Helping a buddy with his setup. I've tried and tried to convince him to go with better setup, but can't get him to budge. Looking for amp recommendation to run set of Kappa 6.5's (he had a punch 300/4 and got him to return it).

2016 Road Glide, stock double din, Kappa's and I just ordered a BT LL. Wants to keep it a 2 speaker, 1 amp system.

Thinking of maybe B52?

Anyone have pic of how/where to install amp on RG?

If he's looking to keep the budget low he can't go wrong with a B52.

Looks like that's what I will order up.


Tips for tunning: gain and x-over?

Thanks guys!


Another question: as far as remote turn on with that amp/set up. Will amp turn on via auto sense from the RCA's or will I need to tap into acc outlet?

i used acc remote wire from hu, but you should be able to pull off of your charge port in fairing, i believe HD even makes a pigtail adapter for that so u dont have to cut into anything
