Default Amp choice..

Thinking of running WDX6 motos for fairing and Polks for tour pack.

Thinking of the BT4180, Arc Moto 600.4 or Focal sport for amp.

I was ready to pull trigger on the Focal...just wanted to get a few thoughts I might not be aware of, for speakers above.

Ideally I figured to keep $500 or less budget on amp...but....

Since you asked...... if i wanted to be at 500 or less on the amp, I'd do the Arc 600.4. I've never owned a Focal, but those that do, like them. They are North of your budget price though. The BT is also a good amp, only downside to me is the lack of tuneablity.

just to be honest, I run an Arc 600. I may be a little biased. No not really, I'm sure i would like the focal also

I'll let you know in about a week. I'll be installing the BT4180, WDX6MOTOs and the Polk MM652s. I've already got the MM652s and I am waiting for the others to be delivered on Monday.

I've got a Ground Zero Micro4 on the bench breaking in right now. I've had the Focal for a few months so I know what it sounds like. I'm interested to hear how they compare considering the pretty hefty difference in price.
