Default Deadcenter Fairing-need amp advice

I just got a deadcenter fairing with the upgraded Polk MM651 speakers but I didn't get a amp.
Now I think I would like to put one in but other than the Biketronics I don't think anything else will fit.
Any other suggestions, keeping in mind these are 2 ohm speakers.
Even considered amp in saddlebag but I want to remain detachable with the fairing.

Can't go wrong with a J&M amp, or some would argue the ARC ks125.2 (theyre the same amp) if you're going completely custom application you can do without J&M harness and brackets and fashion your own way of mounting it up.

it won't fit in the fairing I already did a cardboard mockup of the ARC.
the waterproof cover for the stereo opens into the fairing and takes up room.
On a side note I PM you about some Prime Apes and have not heard back.

Oh ok, yeah, I would find something that could fit in the faring too even though you are willing to mount in the rear, you'll be happier with it all up front. Booch I don't have a pm from you in my inbox, Please give us a call at the shop and I can help you out with that. (818)501-8946

I have the biketronics in my Dead Center. It is tight in there, but that amp put out some great power for its size. I think some of the Hawg Wired stuff is equally small.
