Amplifier, what fits inside the fairing
Of a street glide? I am trying to mount a 2 or 4 channel amp on top of the stereo in the fairing of an 08 streetglide. Does anyone have any suggestions for this, or a place to get he hawg wired amp for resonable? Any suggestions would be helpful, and puting a amp in the bags is not an option for me.

RE: Amplifier, what fits inside the fairing
I am on a tight budget and went on the cheap. Nevertheless, the system sounds pretty good. Here's what I installed:
ANitro-BMW43 4 channel 300 watt amp ($30.00). The specs are:
[*]Dual gain control [*]Plug in harness [*]Built-in double side PCB [*]Low THD [*]Low power consumption [*]Low heat emission [*]LED power indicator [*]Turn on/off by remote (I connected it to the live wire on the lighter)[*]RMS Power Handling : 45W x 4 [*]Max Power Handling : 75W x 4 [*]THD @ 4ohm : 0.8% [*]Channel Separation : 55dB [*]Frequency Response : 20Hz-20kHz (What the human ear can hear!)[*]Input Impedance : Low level 10k ohms [*]Dimension : 4.5" x 1.6" x 3.7" (WHL) (Small enough to install over the radio inside the fairing)
I also installed a Nitro (BMW-CV) 2 Channel Hi-Low Impedance Converter($15.00) with a set of Polk Audio db521 marine rated 5-1/4" speakers ($100), because the Harley radio does not have RCA outputs. Total cost=$145.00 + 1 hour of my time to install. As good a sound as you can get from 5-1/4" speakers! As a matter of fact, I had to reduce the gain on the amp to remove distortion at high volumes. Works like a champ! PM me if you want further details.

I also did not cut any of the wiring on the bike. I made some connectors. This way, I can always remove it and connect everything the way it came from the factory.

So hog pro or hawg wire are the two most popular, any opinions on how they sound? I am trying to push the 5 1/4"s in the fron and a pair of 6x9's in the saddle bags.

SLOPE,
So give me your honest opinion on this amp. I just bought a amp that looks very similar to this off of e-bay a MITSU or MITZU MT (or something) 75 and it is junk. It's only a two channel, but it has less power than the deck!
