Hogtunes 902.2 amp question

I did a search but came up empty. I currently have the Hogtunes 902.2 amp and some crappy J&M speakers. I am thinking of replacing the speakers and need to know if I need 2ohm or 4ohm speakers. I admittedly don't know much about car/bike audio.

Also does this amp have enough nuts to properly drive a decent pair of 6.5" speakers?

Thanks,
mikebaby

I have the 902.2 amp and it pushes the HogTunes 5x7 Road Glide speakers pretty good.

seems like useless rhetoric, without any basis in fact to me.

I have a set of hogtunes speakers for sale in the classifieds if your interested. I thought the Hogtunes speakers alone were a considerable upgrade from stock all by themselves.

I believe using it with bigger, higher-output speakers wouldn't elicit their full potential, but I'm just guessing.

You could try using larger speakers, as if they don't work as expected you can always replace the amp with one with higher output. I had the HT amp and used it with HT speakers and Hog Pods, but the amp died last summer and I replaced it as well as the main speakers. The Elf 125w/ch. (@ 2Ω) amp I have now with 6½" Biketronics-Hertz Titan speakers and Hog Pods give me the sound I wish I had possessed from the beginning. It's quite an improvement.
