Default Thoughts on JL Audio MX500/4 amp?

I am wondering if anyone has this amp and running it for only front fairing speakers and rear tour pack speakers? I am not sure what front speakers I want to go with yet so suggestions for what pairs up nicely with this would be great!

That amp is a beast bridged on a two speaker system. If you're trying to run 4 speakers on their own channel. Not so much. What bike?

Looks like a lotta bucks, for not a lotta power. Better options out there I believe.

Well I'm torn on if I even want to run my tour pack speakers anymore. When I have a passenger I'm not sure how much those matter since her legs usually cover them

Not all watts are created equal man. That amp sounds fantastic with the right speakers. I think for the OP though he's be better off using this amp bridged like Gan mentioned.

Thanks Alex! If I was to run it what speakers do you personally recommend?
