I've had other 4-channel amps in there. To me that amp puts out a good amount of power and very efficient compared to some high power 4 channels I've used. Having 8 channels also opens up the door for more opportunities down the road for speaker choices. In my opinion having the DSP built into the amp cuts down on the noise floor and it has a cleaner sound to me too.

Or would i be better off with a 6 channel amp and a dsp in the fairing?
If you get creative you can mount a few amps depending on size in the fairing of a Rushmore batwing.

If you are using the speaker Podsyou can get 3 amps in the fairing with a possible 4 depending on the size amp that is on the amp tray.

Again it all depends on the size of the amp.

Ron, do you capability to adjust via Bluetooth on that VXI or do you have to hook up a laptop or tablet via USB?

You can do BT with the controller for $100. I tune wirelessy with my tablet and don't use my phone or laptop. The phone is a little small and difficult, unless it's just small adjustments, and a wired laptop is kind of a pain and after having wireless capabilities.

Ron: Did you have to do any mods to get the amp to fit on the the JM Amp tray?
Clean set-up, you got me thinking of replacing my Focal Sport

Only thing you have to do is cut the glove box mount tab. Don't use the J&M top tray and use Velcro around the side of the amp and bottom back side. Push it up on the lip in the back. It will stick in there nicely and doesn't move. It actually fits better than the 600/6, it's a little wider but not as deep which is better. I ran the Sport for a few months too. It's a good amp, but I won't ever run it again after using the VX series.
