I have a stock Boom system on a 2014 Limited and two amps laying around in the garage. The amps are RF PBR300X4 and ARC 125.2.

I don't need to wake the dead but if I make them roll over that would be cool. I want to upgrade the fairing and pod speakers, don't have lids or lower speakers. I have read a few threads and think I have an idea on stuff but not sure. So I have some questions.

1. Go with the RF and and throw the ARC away?
2. Will the Kappas be good with this amp or is there a better alternative?
3. Do I need anything special for mounting the speakers?
4. Anything special for mounting the amp?


Any suggestions/input appreciated

 

Use both amps. Run the Arc amp in the faring with the Infinity Kappa 62.11i speakers.
You will need the BT line levelers. Use the Rockford amp for the rear pods with a set of Pioneer TS-A1686R speakers. You will only be using two channels on the Rockford amp. I hate that amp. But since you already have it you might as well use it. Mount both amps with industrial Velcro.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. From what I remember the "turn on" wire on the ARC amp is normally wired into the receiver but do you know if it can just be wired into a switched 12V and where is there one available in the fairing?

 

The cigar lighter is what most use for the switched power to tje amp/s.

 

There is one available in the fairing. You will find it behind your voltage gauge. It is a purple wire and a black wire into a molex connector. Hit your local Harley dealer and ask for PN 69200921. It will split that connector into two. With one end, let it sit, with the other, snip the connector off, cap the black wire and your purple wire is the proper accessory power supply.

Remember when installing Kappa speakers they need to be mounted inside the pods or the grills / outter fairing will tear the rubber surround.
