Cerwin Vega question

I am looking at upgrading the speakers and adding an amp to my 2020 Road Glide Special. I had decided on a pair of MMATS 601 cx speakers and Stinger SPX 350X2 amp.
Today I guy I work with offered me a Cerwin-Vega B52 amp for $100. The amp is new never installed. He purchased it and decided to go with a 4 channel instead of a 2.

Does anyone have an experience with the B52 amp? Is it worth getting and installing or should I just go with the Stinger?

TIA

The B52 is the better deal. 200 watts @ 4ohm versus 125 watts @ 4ohm from the Stinger.

100% agreed, solid performer in that class for sure. Are there better out there? Yep! For the money, nope.

Iv been using that amp for 3years or so and just installed the mmats. Sounds good and loud. Can't go wrong with the b52 especially for $100.

I’ve ran the mess out of that amp for three years. I’ve never had a problem with it. Only reason I’m getting a different one is I’m upgrading

If I remember right the only draw back with the b52 is heat. That amp gets hot.
