Default Amp?

Looking to run a 4ohm 4 speaker set up in my 05 electra glide 2 in the fairing 2 in the lower fairings I would like to know what amp would be the best for my application? Im running a Sony CDX-GT660UP Radio the amps in question are:

1) Arc Audio KS125.2BX mini
2) Biketronics BT2180
3) PBR300X2 or PBR300X4
4) Or maybe something else?

I'm running the Biketronics BT2180 with the 7.1 in fairing and the 6.5 in the lowers. This combo will give you the most power out of the 3 options you listed. I am getting about 125 watts/speaker or about 500 watts total. Sounds great also.

Any pics of the lowers? And what volume setting do you not go past? Im running the Sony CDX-GT660UP-Radio with the BT444-75W RMS Stereo Amplifier and the BT471-6.5" Titan II speakers in the fairing currently and I will say it sounds much better than stock but if I turn the volume up to say 30 the speakers will start to distort! Im looking at upgrading the amp and running another set of speakers in the lower fairings Im just on the fence as to what direction to take with amp manufactures and speaker manufactures Im trying to achieve a better bass sound and be able to crank the volume up with a clean/no distortion sound.

I think I paid about 130.00 for the speaker pods and about 35.00 for the grills.
