Any suggestions for an amp install kit? Also, I'm using my stock HU (for now) and will need to use a line out converter (I think), any good ones that you reccomend?

You don't need a line out converter. That amp also has high level inputs. Use your current speaker wire outputs from your radio.

So a bit of change in plans. My bike was undergoing inspection to be imported into Japan and ended up costing me double what I had anticipated. Well that completely blew my budget for my audio. Im gonna end up running just 1 pair of 6.5's in the fairing. I picked up a pair of Hertz HCX-165's for a decent price. So now I only need an amp for 1 pair of Hertz. Was looking at the rz4-2000d, pn2.350d or possibly the rz2-1300d. So my question is would the Hertz handle the rz4-2000d bridged or would I be better off going with the pn2.350 or rz2-1300d?

Get the Cerwin B2. Similar price range, by night and day in sound quality. Those speakers will sound fantastic what that amp.

Agreed. You want to stay away from the RZ2-1300D. Not enough power for the Hertz speakers. The Cerwin Vega B2 is the ticket.

Yet another change in plans. While I was sleeping I lost the bid on the HCX's. Probably good thing since I later found out that for the price and location they were coming from they were most likely counterfeit fakes anyways. So now im trying to decide on a different pair of 6.5's for the fairing.
