For ease of install I'd recommend the J&M amp as it comes with a mounting plate and most wires connected. If you want to save a couple bucks and wire yourself with splicing and such, we carry they Elf amp as well which is pretty much the same without the mounting plate or wiring kit.

The J&M amp is hard to beat. It comes with quality mounting brackets and the wiring harness is plug and play. Sound is good and loud. I found Dr VTwin to have the best pricing, as their price includes shipping. They provide excellant service, I have personally experianced it.

The ARC mini is a great amp, easy install and very good sound at any speed. Had mine for almost a year and no complaints.

The J&M is ready to plug in and go. By far the best setup, and yes we have the best price. Call the shop to order please. They are in stock and ready to ship.

Make sure which ever one you buy is compatible with the 8ohm speakers on your 05, most are set up to run 2 or 4ohm speakers. I checked, because I wanted to try the J&M 7.25s without an amp, but found out that they weren't recommended with the J&M amp if I felt I needed more power down the road.
