ok, this is based on you saying you want it LOUD and clear, first off, what do you have for a head unit, the 4.3 or the 6.5?
here is a list of suggestions.
6.5 PA speaker in fairing along with remote or grill mounted DD VO-B3 horn (my choice would be PRV 6.5 neo here, but otherw will also work)
6.5 adapters for lowers, DD VO 6.5 neo, the new hogtunes look like they can be made to work here, as long as some spacing is done to accomodate the depth of the speaker
Mmats PA 601.4 or DD VO 6.5 neo with 1/2 spacer for tp pods
hog tunes speaker lids w DD VO 6x9's
DSP or your choice, but i like the DD Dsi2 or the ARC PSM
Soundigital 250.2 under the fairing for the horns
Soundigital Evo 8000.4 or 1200.4 for the front 6.5s
Soundigital Evo 800.4 or 1200.4 in tourpack to run tp pods and 6x9's
tune it all up and it should sound awesome. if you have the 4.3 head unit, get rid of it and choose something else, as I've found the 4.3 isn't even worth working with. the 6.5 can be made to work ok, or you can step up to one of the sony big screen units.
Please no flaming me for my choices, it;s just a recommendation that i feel confident will work very well.

I almost think you could fit all 3 SD amps up front under the hood if you used the Evo800's with the 250, but i've not done it, but it will be something I try very soon.

3 amps and a dsp under the Rushmore batwing hood is very doable. JL xd400/4 JL MX500/1 and SD250.2, also arc psm

If u talking about all that fitting in the fairing, it really depends on the size of ur nads. Just starting w the updated SD1200, it will fit on the J&M tray if u never have the intension of selling that amp as the top corners hit the outer fairing but Mr. Dremmel can address that concern in 10 mins or less. So if u can get past that, there might be a discussion continuation re this inquiry.
The Focal Sport provides for a much broader scope of options to include a much smaller footprint, that it might be worth the extra cash. Bridged & parallel w 8 ohm speakers its only 50 watts less per speaker but damn near 1/3 the size. Just ultimately depends on what speakers ur trying to put into the game.

If you are using the stock speaker pods it is doable ,if using the BT SPEAKER BRACKET then yes

You can get a 1st generation (grey) SD1200.4 on a JM amp tray in a Rushmore batwing without grinding on anything to get the outer fairing to fit/hit.
If you are using the AX5000 HU and JM tray there is enough room on the bottom side of the amp tray behind the HU to mount the SD250 and possibly the DSP. But i am not for sure on the DSP mentioned.

You just have to get a little creative sometimes to get thing to fit.

It's funny how this amp keeps being rocommened to Iaman. I totally agree with Tailwind. Iaman, like I keep saying you have to make compromises. I don't know how to say it so you understand brother.

The SV's will take 400 watts, I do not think the MPK will handle 300 watts continuous power with out letting the Magic smoke out. Maybe for a short time.
