If lowers are a consideration, now would be the time to maybe consider a little bigger 4 channel amp. Maybe a little more money up front but the Stinger would be able to run some Mmats 601.cx in your lowers if you add them latter, or your tour pack now when it is on the bike.
The Stinger micro 4?
Sorry for the hijack

The Stinger SPX 700 is the popular choice these days. Easily fits in a batwing and sounds good without breaking the bank.

Awesome... so would the MMats cx601's be a good choice for both fairing and lowers with the SPX 700?
Thanks

I just put a Hogtunes REV 225SG KIT-RM on my 19 SG. 225 watt 2 channel amp and 6.5" speakers. 2 ohm setup. All plug and play, no reflash needed. It is loud and clear... and it has added much more punch and bass to the stock system.
Under $400, I'm very happy.

Yep, I think the Mmats are a good choice for a coax in the fairing, the lowers, and the tour pack in the batwing fairing. . Downside is you need an adapter of some kind in the tour pack. The VTwin speaker adapters are a little pricey but they work good and look good as well.

Does the amp come with a bracket for mounting, or is that something that needs to be grabbed (I was watching a youtube video of installing their amp in a RG similar to mine, and made a comment about the mounting bracket that was included in their package was universal)?

I think you mentioned that you had a RGS. The NVX VADM amps are very small and you do not need a bracket to mount it in a RG. I used Velcro to mount it to the top of the headlight in my wife's RGS.There are several other places you can stuff it under the hood of a RG as well.

The stinger amp will slide under the hu behind the headlight tabs as well. Some double sided tape or velcro and your good. At least thats how mine is done.
