Default Best amp?

Looking for some help....... I installed an Aquatic AV radio and 6.5 Infiniti Kappa's, front and rear on my 09 Ultra. Sound is good, but not really getting what I expected when on the highway. Thinking the right amp may help....?

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jet

Yep you definitely need an amp. Cerwin Vega B54 or the Soundstream Pn4.1000d. Either one of these amps will wake up those Kappaa.

Yes Sir! The claimed 72 watts per channel on the Aquatic is no where near enough juice to push the kappa's. Need about twice that much to wake em up. As SB said. Both amps he mentioned will do that.

Not trying to hi-jack thread, but anything special with the amp or his speaker install?

Working on the same thing on my 2015 Ultra.

Thanks

I am not the expert. But you may want to start your own thread. Just for starters your 2015 stock radio is different than the after market Aquatic AV. Start a thread list your equipment and specs what you want and go from there. Head unit, speakers you are using and so on. Good luck
