http://www.amazon.com/Power-Acoustik...ords=RZ4+2000D I ran one of these myself, very happy with it. That said, in my case it did kill my FM reception. I have an aftermarket head unit with bluetooth, CD, and a USB port so I have other source options. If you have a stock head unit your options are more limited without FM. Just something to consider.

I'm installing the RZ4 3000D this morning, I'll post up when I'm done. The 2000D is smaller, and does indeed fit, but you need to elevate the amp for the RCA's to clear the fairing bracket. Some guys use an amp bracket, but I used short piece of 1x4 lumber. It's worked well for me for two years or so.

The numbers by Power Acoustik are inflated. I can assure you that CA amp does not make those numbers. I'll give you an example the RZ42000D at 2ohm is rated by PA to pump out 250w per channel. On the bench it only made 140w. The RZ43000D is rated by PA at 375w @2ohm per channel. It benched at 237w. They are known to inflated their numbers. Even then the RZ42000D sounds much better than the PBR300X2 with those Kappas. John and Decen have had each of those amps and can share with you their experiences.

Well, it turns out I won't be able to report on my install today. Got it wired only to find out the front channels are defective. I can barely hear them faded all the way to the front. Swapped the RCA's front to rear, trouble followed. Swapped it back, then moved front speaker leads to the rear channels and the fronts worked. Got a email in to my Amazon seller, waiting on a reply.

Biketronics. You won't be disappointed. Call them before you buy. Not cheap, but lifetime warranty and customer service is top notch. They know there stuff - it's all they do and built in-house in Idaho. I have been to their shop and spent a few hours with them. High quality and very professional.
