Phil this was such an un-classy post by you, this isn't like you at all.

When I was sponsor here I sold products at 20% off or greater. In fact it was fellow forum member who advised me on what I should price them. I don't do retail much at all these days, don't have the time for it. Ask the number of guys that email me and I tell them the same, I'm concentrating on builds.

It's unfortunate that there's always an "angle" here these days with the posts/threads. A forum member mentioned THE BEST micro amp for a HD is the GZ but it can no longer be found. Sure enough I just spoke with he owner yesterday and know they are phasing in products little by little. Here was an opportunity to get folks THE BEST amp and also help the owner of GZ USA who happens to be a great guy and somehow you guys found a way to twist it around into something it wasn't. I would've sent you the box and you could've send it to your friends here if that makes you feel better.

We're talking amps and speakers on motorcycle. Lighten up my friend

OP, I though I provided an opinion that was somewhat responsible several posts back about the GZ Micro 4 and stand by my opinion that until GZ USA provides a legit business structure with traditional processes and protocols, iI would not go down that rabbit hole.
It's an awesome little amp but I'm not gonna be the guy giving recommendations for buying product without a legit support structure that will protect your investment. Hell a GZ USA web site and contact info would be a good start, right? Makes u wonder if it's a dude selling shix out of a back of a van.

Moving on.

You have several other options OP, to include using one of several other micros to power efficient 6.5s and the big amp powering the big stuff.

For starters it's the same size as the JL280/4 but has 250/2 watts bridged. So for the Rushmore guys with no pods it fits perfect horizontally on the clutch side in the fairing. Full size amp on the tray and this little 250/2 guy makes for a great platform for a multi speaker build.
For guys wanting just a fairing speak setup 250/2 in this small package is a great move as well.
Shocked that GZ has not put their toe in the water regarding this market. Can not even guess how many guys have purchased the JL280/4 based on size alone which could have been completely owned by GZ.
I will keep an eye on availability, but again if they don't get a legit business structure set up in the US, I would not jack with it even though my amp has been damn reliable.

K. I will also provide some basic computer tutorial as well.

In the interim, there is this really far out thing called Google and u can type in key words and a magical stream of info pops up. Crazy talk I know, but I am being serious. It's google.com.

Or u can just click on this:

On side note.... They marked up the b52, and b54 amp 100%, and the ds18 grills 100%. Why would anyone support that business model. Those SP speakers look sexy though!
