Default Sound system amplifier question

Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you guys have any experience withMitzu (MPA-80) amps? I am thinkingabout trying one out. Ebay has them forabout $29, plus shipping.For that price it seems like addingit to my 2005 Road Glide stock stereo and Hogtune speakers would be a good deal.It says 650 watts, but I would figure that is not totally true, but the size is small so seems like a good deal.

Just checking for anyone that has experience with this brand...

Thanks!

I have seen their amps on ebay, as well. I would be curious if anyone has experience with them.

Thats 650 Watts PMPO...

PMPO is a BS figure. What you need to look for is the RMS value.

http://cbll.net/articles/pmpo

This amp probably only puts out 25 Watts RMS. (There is no mathmetical equation to convert PMPO to RMS...so manufacturers can basically lie and say anything)

I'm not saying it won't bea good bike AMP...I'm just saying...

If you already have Hogtunes, Pez has a proven plug & play amp for around $200 or you could hack the eBay amp into your harness and hope for the best.

Ya, maybe keeping with Hogtunes is the best way. Less chance of f*cking stuff up. Are the Hogtunes AMP pretty powerful?

what kind of bike (model) do you have and what type of sound do want?
