Starter Amps Which is best ??
I have read a lot on here about amps and I am trying to decide which way I want to go I am looking to start upgrading my system I want to go 4ch as eventually I am going to add bags. To start with I have a 14 Street Glide budget I am trying to stay within reason but I am also buying this in pieces as to spread out the cost over time so I can have a larger budget. As of now I have Polk MM6502 with tweeters installed in the HogTunes Grill 1 BT355 for the fairing speakers. I am looking I have read in here that is seems to be the consensus that as far as " Budget amps " go there are several leaders Cerwin Vega, Rockford, and Sound Stream. What I am looking for is the best clear quality sound I can get on a budget. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is the one I have been looking at but just needed a little conformation. Would it be better to run the speakers Polk 6502 at 2 Ohms wired in parallel on one channel or 4 Ohms on separate channels ? I am still trying to understand the difference as far as audio goes which one is going to produce the better sound? and will this mount in the PN4.1000D mount in the fairing and will it effect the FM reception ?

$375 for this one, and its very good! Also here, but I don’t have any experience with them. But, for $280, you won’t beat it.

The SS PN4 1000D will require modifications to the stock amp tray to get clearance for the fair i g to go back on. The hertz amps will not fit on the stock amp tray.

Here is some food for thought. Your amp is probably the biggest $$ you will spend on your system. If you budget buy one now and plan to upgrade later then you have a used amp either sitting on the shelf or sell for pennies on the dollar ending up spending even more than you would have to begin with.
