Default amp question

i have a 14 ultra. i have upgraded to boom speakers front and rear. i do a lot of one up riding with the tour pack off. i would like to add a two channel amp to the front speakers and run the rear speaker off the stock head unit when riding two up. is there a problem with this type of setup? i am a novice audio guy obviously. thanks for any comments.

No problem,...however, the Ka-Boom speakers won't take too much power , before failing.

roadkingdoc ,,,,,,

this amp kit will do exactly what you want, http://www.jmcorp.com/ProductDetail....=JMAA-1800HC14 and won't be quite so hard on the KaBoom speakers as the J&M ROKKER series ,,,,,

You could put a Rockford PBR 300/2 in there, and just keep the gains set low. Only run you about a buck-fifty...

Hogtunes 2 channel amp is around $300..... way too much...

If the Alpine KTP-445A was 2 ohm stable, that would be the ticket, but.........

You could try the Clarion XC1410. Its similar to the KTP-445A, but it says it is 2 ohm stable. For speakers the Infinity 62.11i are awesome.
