I just installed Vibe 2 channel amp in my SG fairing. You can get these for 139.95 at Sonic Electronics. It throws out 125 watts per channel @ 2 ohms.
I already had the JM 7.25 speakers, that ran under 200.00 from Phat Performance.
You could also buy some 2 ohm car speakers, for around 100.00.
The 7.25s were a little louder than stock, but the amp really brought them alive.
The amp is not plug and play, and requires a little cutting on the tach and speedo housings, but it's much cheaper than the motorcycle specific amps.
If you want any more info, just pm me.

I just ordered Rokker speakers x 4 and the bazooka 200.4 amp. the amp comes with a plug and play harness so i plan to do the install myself...

The Bazooka amp is about $260 on amazon....
I got the Rokkers from Phat Performance parts for $400 shipped...

I can't wait....

That has got to be the longest sentence I have read in quite some time. Periods are your friend....


Everything is relative, so you need to specify what a lot of money is to you....
