I searched for this particular topic but did not find anything where someone only installed the amp and kept the HK head unit with Boom speakers. This is what I am considering but wonder am I correct in thinking that the extra power alone will make a big difference in the sound of my system. The 4 Boom speakers helped but I am still not satisfied because there are quite a few songs that distort before the stereo is loud enough for me. Thanks
That amp would destroy the Boom! speakers. The Boom! amp only puts out around 40 watts RMS a channel. If you want to stick with those speakers, the best amp, IMHO, would be the Hogtunes 40.4.
and to further that IMO.. if you want that J&M amp just replace the speakers while you're at it with something decent like the BT7P1 7.1" from Biketronics.
