Default Almost there...

So I'm ready to pull the final trigger and need the last real push on amplifer purchase. Will be putting a set of Hertz SX 165 Neo in the TP & a set of Ground Zero Gzcf in the fairing. My options are this...and at this point, money isn't the issue but more less what will be the most efficient.

Hertz Hdp4 - awesome power @ 150x4 rms 4ohm...heard it's a nightmare to fit in the fairing but it can be done...I can have this @ a phenomenal $125CAD used.

Stinger Spx700.4 - 125w to each speaker (will it be enough?). $425CAD brand new.

2x400.4 Evox. Bridge each and push 200w to each speaker (overkill?). $700CAD

This is where I am at...thoughts??

Hertz is a no brainer imho. If you find it’s not viable you can resell for sure.

I can appreciate that but to run around and grab it, try the install, blah blah blah...I would be all over it if I knew it would fit in the fairing (09 Batwing). My Uncle is a welder and could totally fabricate a mounting plate for me so it sits angled towards the inside of the fairing...if that was an option.

Then I’d go with Evo X 👍 Gives you room for growth.

This will be it...no more purchases or upgrades...more than enough for me on the hwy.

Do you think the SPX will be able to power these 4 comfortably? I only ask because if I can save $300CAD buying the Stinger then why not?

I'm no fan of Trudeau (far from it), but Canada is not the problem. Canada is allowing non-essential travel from the US into Canada.
It's the other way around. US land border (driving) is still closed to Canadians.

Handle quite possibly but again, long term growth. Buy once and be done with it vs 18 months from now you’re saying “I wish I’d have….” Never know what you may want down road. Stay the course… woulda shoulda and coulda but I didn’t.. been there done that.
