Default found a real good amp for baggers

Kenwood KAC-M3004 I installed this amp with my Harmon Kardon. I have the boom audio speakers fairing and bags. This little unit is a game changer for these other high dollar amps being sold. With the amp set half way up the speakers never distort and are crystal clear. Great highs mid and even bass. Now I can't say how long this thing will last. All I know is it puts hogtunes to shame. Doesn't take much to do that though. It also blows the pbr300 away. It's 200.00 at best buy and and it also has to have rca adaptors added to it. But for the money I haven't heard anything that comes close to it. Thought I'd let everyone kn now about it. I've had it for a couple days now. And have ridden several hours with it cranked up loud and it hasn't missed a beat yet so we'll see about longevity. Not trying to advertise anything just helping people save some cash and have an awesome sounding stereo.

Be careful with those speakers.

I added a Hogtunes amp to my bike with Boom speakers this spring but a few hours of riding one of the speakers blew. I'm not an audio whiz but I think the tiny magnets on them might have something to do with it.

So far they have handled it and sound great. Only running amp at half power. And it rocks. I've had 2 hogtunes amps and both blew a channel in less than a month. Had the amp set on lowest setting so it wouldn't do that but it happened nonetheless. Like I said longevity is what I'm looking to see from this amp. If it holds up its a good sounding setup. It's really loud and clear. Auto sensing 2,4,8 ohm. It's also bridgable. Would like to do a sub but that would be just nuts lol....

I don't have any static like I did with hogtunes. Like I said it's crystal clear FM, CD, and my Bluetooth adapter are all clear.
