I hope not to have any issues either. I tested it today and had no issues. Don't see the need to go beyond 3/4 volume with the way it sounds. It pushes 90 watts rms in a 2 ohm load.

It was rocking clear at 1/2 volume. Will let you know if I see the same issues though. Thanks.

I bet that sounds good. I didn't want to give up any storage space so I went this route.

One thing that I did was wire the speakers so that when I remove the tourpack, the amp will run the front speakers in a 4 ohm load.

What's up Rob? Your bike is still looking good.

I cranked up the volume to see if the amp would start clipping and it did. The volume level was more than I would listen to though. Speakers were still crystal clear. I sure wish a 4 channel amp would fit inside of the fairing. Maybe I'll wait and just install it in the storage area of the sidecar.
