Default Amp Recommendations

Hello again,
I've got a 2014 Street Glide Special with the 6.5 Infotainment center. I recently put a pair of infinity kappa 62.11i speakers in. They sound great, nice, crispa nd clear but I need them to be a little louder. If memory serves me correctly, the radios in the new bikes don't have RCA outputs? I know I can get a high to low converter but I'm pretty sure the newer amps have speaker level inputs? Can anyone recommend a plug and play amp that won't break the bank? If there's nothing plug and play, what other suggestions do you have?
Thanks for any help.

there is nothing plug and play out there other than high dollar amps from J&M, BT, Hogtunes, etc.

PBR300x2 is my recommendation on a 2 speaker setup

U/N ,,,,,,,

anything wrong with the high-dollar ROKKER XTP plug-n-play amps from J&M ? see http://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=49 ,,,,,,,

how about the more reasonably priced plug-n-play amps from J&M ? http://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=50 ,,,,,,

really do appreciate all you do for folks here on the forum, but maybe some of the J&M plug-n-play amps are worth a little more than some of the other brands ?

JM... Wow $859 for THE WORLDS MOST POWERFUL AMP for Harley Baggers. You do realize that Biketronics Bt 4180 is rated at 180 rms at four channels don't you? Isn't that false advertising, I couldn't trust a company that lies to it's customers and knows it is lying. Can you explain why your amps are worth double and triple the cost of other amps! Who makes your amps!

Holy crap, I thought the BT amps were high priced, but $859, wow! I'd go with one of these myself, with the money I saved I'd go to Vegas! http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...RZ4-2000D.html

$859 dollars for the JM amp might as well go with a JL HD 900 amp for that type money. But to each his/her own.

Like in another thread, the new RF T400x4ad could be a very nice amp. Class A/D means no radio issues, fan cooled and compact. It's birth sheet will probably show 110w/channel of power with a street price of $425. Some nice options..

I simply cannot believe the price of that j&m amp. If I may ask..... Why price an amp like that so high? Wouldn't you be better of building something that people are willing to pay for? All I'm trying to say is even if it's a great amp it just to expensive.
