Default Amplifier suggestions?

I have an 08 Ultra Classic Anniversary (the duracell). I just put an aquatic AQ-MP-5BT-H head in it and I want to put an amp on it. The speakers are kenwoods and Im not sure what the specs are on them but they sound great.
I'm thinking a class D (?) 4 channel but I think Ive learned just enough with my research to make an entirely wrong decision. Im not looking to spend a boatload of cash either. Any ideas out there?
Thanks a bunch!

You should ask the audio section because that crowd is pretty smart.
I have a biketronics 2180 (2 channel 180 watts rms). Pricey, but made in USA and customer service is excellent. I'd buy it again.

I've use arc audio and JL amps with the aquatics radios on different bikes.

I started the same thread a couple months ago and was also directed to the audio section. Guess I was a bit overwhelmed with the complexity of the various suggestions so settled on a Hogtunes amp/speaker combo. Finally got it in and unless something is not set correctly I am much less than impressed. Mine is a 2 channel (100X2) and sure do hope there is some improvement that can enhance the sound quality and volume at highway speed or I will be looking at something else. Guess I need to get back to the audio section myself. Best of luck.

I'm gonna give the Sound Stream pn 1000 a shot. The price wasn't bad and it got pretty good reviews every where I looked. Should have it in this weekend and will post my thoughts on it. The aquatic head I have sounds great but its the highway sound I'm looking to improve on...not as crisp as I would like.

How are you going to mount it? This has been one of my struggles with amps. I have an 08 Street Glide Anniversary.
