Any amp suggestions that work well with the radio? 4 channel that is? what class of amp to look for? I don't use the radio much but would like it to work.

Depends what kinda power you're looking for. My first choice is never the PBR-300x4 but it's a decent amp and won't interfere with FM signal. J&M as well as Biketronics have good 4 channel amps as well. Also check out the Alpine KTP445U

You are going to need some POWER !!! You will have to have a 2 ohm stable amp, to run 6 speakers.

Also,..............you will be splitting the power /2 for 4 of the speakers.

If you have an amp that puts out 75 watts at 2ohms, you will have 37.5 watts going to 4 speakers.....

What brand are your 6 speakers ?? I would seriously consider 2 amps.

Hertz 6.5 in the lowers, biketronics 7.1 uppers pioneer 6x9's in the sacks. Was just interested in a inexpensive solution, antenna in the fairing always sucks at best. I've got a ton of cash involved, really may not be worth it. Sound stream does the job, but you know........

You could run 3 of the Rockford PBR 300/2 amps. Two in the fairing, and 1 in the bags. More power and no FM interference.

Or just run 2 of them, and parallel the front 4 speakers...
