Default New Stereo Ordered

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Yesterday I removed the HD radio, Hogtune amp and speakers. I'll be selling them soon. I have a Sony unit to install with Satellite radio. I ordered two sets of marine Polk Momo MMC 525 5-1/4" 2-way Speakers and a Blaupunkt THA275PNP 75W x 2 Car Amplifier. The amp is small enough to fit inside of the fairing. Should sound pretty good. The amp draw is low on the amp. I'll post pictures of the install along with my new Dakota Digital gauges.

Speakers are 4 ohm and I'll wire them up to run the amp in a 2 ohm load.

you may want to measure the depth of the top of the radio before buying amp. i beleive you are approx 1.5 to large to fit in fairing. also running 4 ohm speakers in 2 ohm mode may cause overdriving and blow the speakers. try&nbsp\\; infinities kappas if you are set on 2 ohm wiring

a little more info. the depth for your install is approx 6" plus a rch if you trim the speedo and tach housing. a blaupunkt pa2100 with the housing removed will fit if you can find 1 or a mh instruments amp or a arc audio mini is an excellnet choice. pricey but a very good amp

more info. if you are running 4 speakerds then you need a 4 channel amp. each speaker is 1 channel. you can run the rear with the head unit and the fronts with the amp. but sound quality suffers. a 4 channel amp pushing 200 watts is 50 watts rms to each speaker as an example

Making a 4-ohm amp run at 2-ohms will make it run a little hot.&nbsp\\; That normally wouldn't be a problem, but inside a fairing, it may get even warmer.&nbsp\\; Just something to think about.

Amp specs are 6-3/4"W x 1-11/16"H x 7-1/4"D. I have 8"W x 2"H x 9"D available. The new Sony head unit freed up some space.
