Rockford fosgate amp?
I am looking for input on the rockford fosgate amp, for those who have one. I am currently running a pair of J&M 7.25's with a \Hog Tunes amp and HT tweeter pod in my 08 SG. The set up is ok, but looking for a crisper,cleaner sound, I know the amp I am running is holding me back. I'm wondering which model of RF amp is the best for the money. Input please.
The PBR300X4 should NOT be used with your J&M 7.25" speakers because it cannot handle a 2-Ohm stable load. This amp is only 4-Ohm stable and therefore not the perfect match. If you are willing to swap out your speakers too then it's a great choice.
There are other RF amps that will handle 2-Ohms although you will not be able to fit them under the fairing. You may have to mount it in a saddlebag.

Rockford and Polk Audio have been making mobile audio components for years. They know what they are doing. This amp and speakers are at 4 ohms matching. This is what I have been looking at myself. I hope this helps.

If you're not changing speakers as well the rockford amp won't work for ya. Look at the arc audio amp

Yes it is 4 ohms, but the J&M are 2 ohm rated. Unless he bridged it to 2 ohms he will have problems.

And how does this sound next to the J&M stereo with the Rokker speakers.

I personally don't know about the J&M stereo with Rokker spearkers, but I have heard plenty of RF amp and speakers. They sound great. Very clear sound and no distortion at higher volume levels. very clean.
