unfortunately the mmats hif-fi 6150 is not going to fit under the hood on a stock bike. i'd say lets see if the new SD 1200.4 evox amp is going to be in the right size neighbor hood, if so, that would be my choice, along with a SD250 nano for your horns and a dsp. Sound quality costs, and for SQ the DSP is a needed item.

As was stated earlier, depending on speaker choice would determine amp choice.
If my speaker choices all had power requirements in the 150 to 200 watt range, my amp of choice would probably be JL600.6. If those speaker choices were higher power requirements, I'd look to Sound Digital and match model from there.
The amp / speaker combo that is the best is the one that works for your ears, I have tried different variations and tuned different set ups and I can tell you to try different scenarios till your ears are Happy and not bleeding,,The Pros and the Novice's we all have different ears,,,Me, I Have tinnitus from Helos so,, I have finally found what works for me.

That right there is what finally made me commit to getting a DSP. A lot of the speakers we use in these bikes were not designed for bikes. What I mean by that is they were meant to play a range of frequencies at volumes that would most likely be inside a car or at worst a boat moving just a few mph. When you crank them up to the volumes we do to hear them on our bikes at highway speeds competing with our exhaust quite often the frequency ranges that meet our ears are not the friendly ones.
Using a DSP allows you to take whatever set of speakers you decide on and subtract the frequencies that YOUR ears do not like and maybe slightly boost the ones they do like. Also from what I understand a lot of DSPs can work well with the Harley Boom Box head unit. I think the Arc even comes pre-configured to negate the screwball Boom EQ curve.
