Default Amp

I have a 2009 FLHX, I installed a pair of Kicker audio direct replacement speakers. The sound has improved a bit buy I would imagine the addition of an amplifier would make it sound much better. is there an amp I can buy that's not going to break the bank, easy to install and sounds decent? I am mechanically inclined but when it comes to electronics I'm not so good....... I was reading in this forum about a few different things and am convinced I need an amp. thanks in advance....

Is it difficult to install? I want to put it in a 2009 streetglide with stock radio and 2 kicker 2ohm speakers. I guess I would need a mounting bracket too huh?

A lot of people use Velcro to the top of the head unit... Install is pretty easy... There is a sticky at the top of the forum from ultra that does a step by step on the install.

not all here will agree ((axes to grind all over this forum)) but I think that THIS ONE is the best amp for the $$$ spent, for your StreetGlide ,,,,,,, 180w total RMS power ,,,, http://www.jmcorp.com/ProductDetail....=JMAA-1800HC06 ,,,,,

SS mounting brackets, all plug-n-lay custom wiring harnesses ,,,,,, pretty hard to beat this one in ease of install, features & power vs cost ,,,,

I have no first hand experience with Johns products however this would be a simple plug and play installation... Some times ease of use and keeping it simple trumps all other things.
