I Had an Arc amp, good amp but I just put in a Sound Stream 520 Nano which I like better so far. Look in Audio systems under Harley Tech forums lots of info over there Ultranutz has some great bang for the buck options! Do a little research you will be happy you did.

Almost every speaker/amp upgrade offered by most companies here are simply relabeled arc amps and hertz speakers that they charge 60% more for by BS marketing tactics and lies. although lately these companies are realizing most of us are catching on they have moved on to relabeling other setups. I purchased the arc mpak6 and never looked back its amazing how clear and bass capable these new moto speakers are! i purchased the whole setup for between 4 -5 hundred by a vendor here for my street glide and have never heard anything better at any price.
That will be an awesome set-up. Those speakers sound great just running on a Sony head unit.

In my research, I found the Biketronics Speakers & AMP(Lifetime Warranty) to be about $45 more than the ARC. The Arc System had a 1 year warranty. I do my due diligence and IMO, am a good shopper, lol. Thanks for all the input.

Then i stand corrected!! LOL. what kit are you looking at? most kits they had were using titan speakers which im sure you know are hertz! If thats what your using they in no way compare to the new moto speakers from arc, this i know as ive used the best hertz offers and found them decent at best! Im not up on there newer systems if they even have any so if you can shed some lite on who makes there amps now it would help us all understand if its actually close to the quality and price point as you have described. Thanks
