Best 2 channel amp for the money?
 

I am running an ARC KS 125.2 amp and am very pleased with it. My buddy wants a new amp. What is the best amp for the money and who's giving the best price now?

Thanks,

Scott

I just installed an Elf 2125XN. Got it on ebay. Was $199, but made an offer for $169 and the seller accepted. I think it sounds great, but I dont have anything to compare it to (aside from the stock harley radio and the JVC headunit with no amp). I understand that the Rockford Fosgate PBR300X2 is pretty good too and can be had for the same price.

I would go with the Arc audio. If you look at the specs of the Arc and the Rockford, the power output is near the same. But the signal to noise ratio (S/N) on the Arc is better. The higher the number, the cleaner the sound. Loud is no good if it's not clean. The elf is a similar amp to the ARC, but from what I have read on this forum and cpl others, the durability isn't quite as good.

If you can find a new ARC Mini for anywhere near $169 shipped to your door then do it. Otherwise the RF 300X2 is the best 2 channel amp going at that price point. 150 watts into 2 ohms per channel. I own both amps (actually the ROKKER version of the arc) And if I have to buy another 2 channel amp it will be the RF without hesitation.

If you want to Rockford check with Sonix Electronics. They don't show the lowest price, but you can summit a "price guarantee". They usually match it. I got my PBR300x2 for 150 and my 6.5 Polk speakers for 119.

I paid 169 for my pbr300x2 and thought that was a deal..but I really like my setup with the mm651 speakers.

Keep in mind that some of these outlet stores are selling surplus units and they may not have a warranty on them. Just sayin....

Also, my two cents, the Arc is much better than the RF.

You can always take the money saved and buy a square trade warranty..

Has anyone ever had to file a claim with Square Trade for a bad amp? Does it have to be professionally installed?

How many feet of wire do I need to go from battery to fairing

Really,

You post an unrelated question in a 4 year old thread for something you can measure with a piece of string?
Probably took longer to type the question than it would have to measure it yourself...

Obvious i wasn't near my bike in the store buying it by the foot so was just curious sorry for asking a question

Sorry big Mike I'm new to this forum stuff and thank you for the response

Depends on what you mean "for the money"...lol...Installed a Diamond micro 2v2 and arc 602 motos, BT355 line leveler in my 16 RGU....Sounds awesome...

6 foot of each power and ground.

Hmm...is he still at store? :)

Probably not but at least now he'll know if he needs to go back or not. :icon_pala:

Lol thanks for the info I'm glad to see there's people on here with a sesce of humor and that dont get all pist off for someone asking a ? I thought that's what a forum was for again thanks for ur help

Welcome Brother, :icon_patriot: That is for defending yourself.

There's a reason older threads aren't flushed from the system.

Hey Ronald, glad you got an answer to your question. Hey SBates, thanks for answering the question. Hey OR, this type of reply is not at all welcome in the audio forum and we always are looking out for each other. The guy simply asked a question and who knows, maybe someone else will find the answer useful someday??? Yes, maybe he should have started a new thread, or found something a little closer to his subject, but new to the forum is a good thing. Maybe ronald will be the guy to find the next break thru product and be nice enough to share the details with us.

I think this thread originated in the Touring section and was just recently moved here but I agree the response was uncalled for.
