Default Amp question (yes I searched first)

Hey everyone,

I bought my bike ('07 FLHX) used and it has the OEM HK Radio and the HD Boom Audio Speakers (the kind with the tweeter built into the grill). I wanted some clearer, crisper sound, so I'm considering an amp. Would I see any real sound improvement with the amp using the Boom speakers (as opposed to the speakers with no amp)? I plan on eventually upgrading the speakers, but that's as the funds come about, so I figure I'd do the amp for now since I already have the upgraded speakers.

Any suggestions on the amp? And then any suggestions on speakers for the future upgrade?

Thanks

If you want to keep it simple plug and play get the boom audio amp. I just had this installed yesterday and I'm using the boom fairing speakers along with the saddlebag lid speakers. Very impressed with the volume, sound quality and bass from this system, you may decide not to change out your fairing speakers

take a look at Rockford Fosgate..... Great amp and speakers. Here is a list with prices. You might be able to get the amp and speakers.

Rockford PBR300X4 Amp. $149.95

PBR300X4 Amp

Rockford 6.5 Speakers $136.95
M262B

You will need an adapter for the 6.5 speakers, but they are readily available.

Will that amp fit inside the fairing?
