Car Audio Amp Options?
Does anyone here run a 4 channel car audio amp that can fit in the fairing of a FLTR?
I have the CVO lower fairing speaker boxes coming and will be adding 6.5 speakers to the fairing so I'm looking for a good amp to use.

Pain, figured you were asking about "auto" amps to find a less costly alternative to the currently available motorcycle products, e.g. Hawg-wired.
For dimensional purposes (i.e. what will fit inside the RG fairing), check-out the dimensions of the Arc 125.4 (500W; 125X4 channels @2 ohms). A guy installed one in his '09 SERG and posted about it at cvoharley.com; here's a link that includes pictures of the installation:

The soon to be released Rockford Fosgate 300W (75W X 4 @ 4ohms) amp lists for $270:

If the $270 price point is too high for your budget, perhaps you should say how much you're willing to spend to avoid replies that exceed the price point.
My buddy has a Bazooka 4-channel amp installed in the fairing of his '07 RG. Check their website for price.
Also, what speakers are you planning to use in the speaker boxes? Most aftermarket speakers are 4 ohm impedance so you'll probably want an amp with 4 ohm impedance. If you're going with 2 ohm impedance speakers, that may be a problem with an amp that is 4 ohm impedance.
Good luck with your search.

would you guys here on the forum like to be able to purchase the J&M 2-ch 250w and 4-ch 500w amps without all the mounting brackets, hardware and plug-n-play harnesses ? ,,,,,
that is what takes the time and costs the $$$ here at J&M is making all the extras that go with our amp kits ,,,,
