You can also find it on sale sometimes at Visions as well.

Pretty much everything else seems to have to come from the US. I'm in Edmonton, Alberta so most of the gear on my bike has been shipped from the US. Even with exchange and duty, It can still work out to be cheaper than some of our prices here in Canada.

Was looking at this one https://www.crutchfield.ca/p_777M754....html?tp=73322 . It seems like a decent price but have no experience with this brand. Anyone have any input on this?

If you are looking for something on the North side of the border, I would consider the Kenwood KAC 3004 from Crutchfield.ca.

I have the KAC 3004 bridged to Kappa 6x9s in my lids and it plays pretty loud. There are other micro amps out there for cheaper state side that put out as much or more wattage but if this is priced right in Canada then it's not a bad amp but I'd use it as a two channel. There's a Youtube amp dyno vid on it and it is actually underrated by Kenwood. Had it bridged to the fronts on a previous bike that had 6x9s in the fairing.

Still might be able to find what you need from an auto specialty shop. For motorcycle audio you want a Class D amplifier that's small enough to fit in the fairing or in some cases I've seen them placed in saddle bags and tour paks. I just installed the PN2-350 from I can hear my Infinity Kappas at over 80 mph over the wind wearing a half helmet. There are some 4 channels in that line up for a couple dollars more.

Worth every penny of it, even with the exchange, duty, and shipping. Beats anything else we can buy in Canada for our bikes. Our exchange really sucks right now, but our selection of audio gear that works well on bikes is just so limited.
There is a few of us here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada running the Stinger. There will be a lot more this year, now that lots of guys have been asking what the hell we are using for gear.
If you watch Visions for sales, we can sometimes get a good deal on the Kenwood KAC 3004, which is a not bad amp for a 2 speaker system.
Most other stuff like the NVX Vadm 2 and 4, the Cerwin Vega B 54, the Soundstream PN 4.1000d, etc still usually work out better ordering from South of the border than what it costs here in Canada.
I find it works out cheaper in the long run if you can skip the majority of the upgrade process and get a good amp the first time. Watch the for sale ads on this sight as well.
Have a look at your local buy and sell as well. For us here in Edmonton, it is Kijiji. Not much for good bike gear very often, but occasionally the odd piece pops up.

I will have a great BT 2180 soon. I can do $200 shipped to your location. I am about to embark on a major change, dabears1985 do not say a thing, LMAO, yes I posted it I looked at 8" lid setups so 2 new amps on the way, among speakers and other items. GEEZ this Audio is dangerous to the wallet. SO most is shipped, but expect lids next week. That is when I will tear down my bike. You can PM me if you have any interest.
Be very careful of viewing this Audio section it leads you too the dark side quickly LOL. Ride hard, be safe
