Amp search
Looking at amps for my street glide and wanted to get some insight from the forum. Are there any other small amps like the PBR's out there? I don't wanna take up any bag space.
Help us help you. We need more info. How many and what kind of speakers are you/will you be running? Stock head unit or aftermarket? Preferred place of amp placement? Should I assume you want to mount the amp in your bags by your post? Why not the fairing?

I'm wanting to mount the amp in my fairing. I'm gonna run pioneer midrange 6.5's in the fairing and couple it with the biketronix tweeter pod. Not really sure if I wanna get rid of the stock head unit because of the hand controls but aftermarket head units are appealing because of the music manipulating properties ie. internal x-overs.
These decisions were so much easier when I was riding sportbikes. Lol

I'm running an Arc Audio KS125.2 in my fairing and love it. Currently driving a set of 6.5" components. Clean, awesome sounding power.
I read good things about the SS and PBR amps and will be installing an SS in my tour pak for the pods. If you're into FM radio, they may not be a good choice in the fairing because of interference.
Good luck!

The Pbr is probably your best bet unless you are planning on adding more speakers into the mix in the near future. The Arc amps are also very good. As was pointed out, the sounstream (PN2.350) is also a great choice but there's a chance it may interfere with you fm signal.
If you want an aftermarket headunit you will get better sound and you can retain the handlebar controls buy getting a control module from biketronics or hawgwired.

Forgot to add, aside from the two fairing speakers the tweeter pod is all I want to run. Can I run my tweeter pod off just the head unit and get good sound?

The sounstream is nice because it has a very small footprint, and the pbr is only a little bigger. But the pbr is an impressive amp, made well and probably the best choice for a two channel in the fairing.

This isn't a trial. We already know the RF PBR 2 channel is a great amp...............what else are you looking for ??
If there was something better for this application, you'd have already read about it on here.
