If I want to keep factory stereo and speakers, what small amp would be best, want to mount inside fairing too?

Is the factory amp available for my 07 EGC?

Thanks all

You can not beat the ARC 125.2 mini. And yes you can use the ARC equipment without loosing the use of your handel bar controls. Anyone can send me a PM for more information.

LOL FINALLY!!!! LOL

I was talking to my Buddy that is an Arc Audio distributor (albeit, he had a falling out w/ them) and he mentioned this amp. He said it was pretty much an Arc knock off and had a big "E" on it but forgot who made it. I've been looking for it ever since. THANKS!!!!

But, I already have my Arc Mini waiting to be installed.

The guys in my club are sporting some of the hardest hitting stereo systems you will ever hear on a motorcycle. Though there is debate on head units and speakers and subs, the heart of every one of these systems are Alpine Electronics PDX series amps.

For your application I would check into the PDX 2.150

I have an elf amp on its way to test and compare to the ARC it appears that the Elf unit is a ARC knock off, I will put it through its paces and let ya know

Good looking lids Street Star I bet they sound good.

Yes the alpine pdx amps are good sounding units. I handle Alpine also

One of my club members has this set up. That's his black Ultra on the Loud Lids website. I must admit it does sound better than a lot of systems I have heard out there. Does not beat the Alpines IMO (I get a side by side every couple of days) Really depends on what your seeking in motorcycle audio and your ears.
