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!

A great bank for the buck is power acoustics rz2000 or ss pn4.1000. Both will do you justice. A bit more $$ is a tm400x4ad but very loud and a ton of tuning options.

How many speakers are you going to run?

At 285x4 that is way over kill and at over 12" long a real tight fit in the fairing. Just saying.

Those specs are way over inflated. It's the same amp as the SS pn4.1000d. The end caps will come off and fit just like the 1000d. If it was actually 285 watts x 4 @ 4ohms we'd all be running that amp.

Thanks Bates. I have not run it just looked at the specs and it did look like the pn4.1000 from the pics.

That's a damn good budget amp! Plenty of power to run anything out there. As SB said. basically a clone to the SS PN4.1000D. Now why PA choose to inflate their specs. Who knows? I'd say it's all about marketing if I had to guess

Went with the SS pn 1000 D. A little tight and required a lot of wire movement and some minor cutting but other that that it fits perfectly...haha! This unit sounds great with the aquatic and the Kenwood speakers!
