Looked through the old threads but most are amp recommendations for complete system rebuilds.
I purchased a 2010 RG this spring from a guy who needed to sell the bike to pay some bills. Over the winter the PO had bought a brand new Aquatic AV AQ-MP-5UBT-HS and a set of the 6.5″ AQ-SPK6.5-4HB Speakers that he planned to install but did not get around to it. I had been told that the older HK stuff was bad but I surprised how bad the stock stereo was.
I decided to install the new stuff and overall the install is easy and I like the idea of having my iPhone inside but I have to say the sound quality is mediocre at best. I assume that adding a decent amp would get it to a reasonable quality.
The bike is my first touring Harley and so far I like the ride and will probably purchase a brand new bike in a year or two. I am looking for a recommendation for a good amp to add to the existing system to use until I buy the new one. Or a recommendation that it is a waste of money with the Aquatic gear.
Here are my answers to the usual questions. - do not want to scrap the Aquatic head unit and speakers (understand there may be limitations to this stuff but I have it and its new) - just want it loud and clear enough to drove down the road at 70 mph. - not planning to add more than the two fairing speakers (famous last words?) - listen to classic rock/blues - budget is not a constraint (doesn't have to be $99 but spending $1000 seems a waste)
