Default tourpack amp

If your going to mount your amp in the tourpack what is the reason you cant use any 2 or 4 channel automotive amp that will fit the space you have?

I'm tring to come up with something for my 2010 flhtk stock head unit, and have tried the pbr300-2 with infinity 60.11 in the fairing and was not happy.

You can, however, I'd make sure it is a class D. You need something efficient, that isn't such a load to the charging system. I use 2 of the Alpine PDX 4.150's in my tour pack !

AMEN on the Class D stuff. Very little effect on your charging system as GP points out. I run 2 Soundstream TN4.900D amps in my tourpak with a digital signal processor

Has anyone tried mounting their amp under the Tour Pak? Their is a nice space right between your mounting brackets.

Question is;
How are you going to keep water and dirt out of it?

Default Why aren't you happy

Why aren't you happy with the RF300x2 with the 60.11 speakers in the fairing ?

another thing to think about is the head unit. You have no idea what you're missing by not going aftermarket. There is a night and day difference in sound quality


how is your PBR300x2 inputs wired? are you using speaker level inputs or RCA inputs?

Any heat issues with class d amps in the tourpak. I tried a pbr 300x2 and it would get so hot you couldn't touch it. I pulled it out.

rs03371. I had one of the first 300x2 amps to come out and I had the same issue. The replacement for the amp did not cause the heat issue.

The 2 TN4.900D amps I run are tucked away under a false bottom in the tourpak with no air in the 2" tall space. No heat issues whatsoever and believe me I beat the crap out of them and my speakers.
