Keep My ARC Mini Amp?
 

Getting a new 103 LTD Ultra. Will do a speaker upgrade (J&M Rokker 7.25s? Don't know what to get.) & just wondering if I need a bigger amp then the ARC Mini 125 that I already own. Not sure yet if I need, or will do, an upgrade on the rear speakers. I probably will, knowin' me!

Geezer ,,,,,

for the best sound all the way around for your new LTD, go here: http://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=45 ,,,, and get the J&M ROKKER speaker upgrade for your fairing position, also the rear position, and the J&M 500w 4-channel amplifier ,,,,

if you would like to look over the install manuals for these three items, shoot me a private email ,,,,,

Thanks John. I'm having a struggle with a $700 amp right now, since I already own that ARC Mini. Think the mini will help? I'll probably do the Rokker speakers --- front & back.

I doubt you "need" a bigger amp than the Arc; it's 125W X 2 channels @ 2 ohms and 70W per channel at 4 ohms.

Your real choice will be whether to get a 4-channel amp, or, perhaps, another Arc mini for the tour pak speakers mouted in/under the tour pak.

In addition to the J&M 500W 4-channel amp, the Rockford Fosgate 300W, 4-channel amp is due in a few weeks. It's a 4 ohm impedance amp so the Rokkers would not be compatible with that amp.

A good friend has the HD 160W, 4-channel amp used on the CVO Ultras on his '06 EG Ultra and is very pleased with it. With the harness, these amps show up often for about $250-$300, ususally from CVO owners swapping out those amps for more powerful aftermarket units. With the harness, it would be a plug and play installation.

Good luck with your research and new bike.

Thanks Carl. I think I'll keep the ARC Mini, and just not power the rear pods for now --- see how they do.
