Why 2? Easy enough for one.... I don't really see 2 in there tho.. might be easier for a shark nose road glide tho.

You can run 4 speakers with the 2 channel. But a quick call to firecap501 will answer all your questions. But I dont think you can stack 2 even with after market radio.

2 Arc minis are not going to fit in a H-D batwing. I highly doubt that adding a second amp is going to give a better on the road listening experience than a single Arc mini will. A better upgrade is going to 6.5 inch speakers.

ok thanks.
I know the real problem is the short windshield. I mean don't get me wrong my system kicks with two speakers, I started with the arc 6.5 components great sound till they the tweeter protect start doing its job then I would lose 20% power till speakers cooled off. so I decided to try infinity's 6.5 setup, I noticed more power output from amp with the 2ohm speakers. clarity at 80 mph plus depending on music recording and wind conditions. my bike has a custom look with factor appeal but I am more than just your fair weathered local rider so I need all my bag space and more ... lol. my conclusion is that I am 60watts shy of "my" perfect two speaker stereo system. last night I was on arc audio website an noticed they have a new amp series, I think I'll give them a call today.

Yes it is the xxd class d amps. They are a good little amp, although they do not sound as good as the mini in my opinion, and they will not fit in the batwing. They will fit in the road glide, but not the batwing. I have a 2 and a 4ch and have been testing the 2 for several weeks
