Default Alpine Amp??

Has anyone used one of these new Alpine amps on their stock HD head units?

It says it's plug-n-play with all Alpine head units, but what if we do a little splicing and make it work with the stock units?

i have a alpine amp on my bike with a alpine cda 105 it didnt work well with the stock harmon kardin head unit. IMHO it would be a waste of money to buy the amp for H/K. just my 2 cents. if u buy any amp buy the arc mini or hog tunes mini.and FYI i have a alpine pdx 2150 digital amp iam selling these amps are great they dont get very hot and shut off i have one extra left. the one your talking about is for a alpine head unit.

The size is right and the price is right.................just wasn't sure if it could be used with the stock HD radios. It would be nice to get a little boost in power to the speakers for some better sound from my Hogtunes.

Damn!!

Arc is very proud of that little amp...........and it's only 2 channel.

I knew a guy a while ago that took a small amp from Walmart, cut down the case on it a little bit, and mounted it on top of the radio. Worked great, and sounded great.
