Ok! So I was talked into going with the HD Boom speakers for my 2012 FLHTK to improve my sound while riding. The question I have now is what amp should I go with.
After reading all the threads on the forums here and other web sites their doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer.
I actually wish now I would of waited on the speakers till I decided what amp to go with.
I just really want good sound and clarity while riding down the road, especially when I crank it.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

If you didn't open the BOOM speakers,.............return them. If not,.........I don't know how much power they can handle, before failure. Did you buy front & rear speakers ??
You need an amp that is 2 ohm stable. The SS amp would fit the bill, but you will probably blow the speakers......

Yes, I bought front and rear speakers, supposed to be real good speakers the HD Booms, but reading the threads it sounds like I just blew $300 bucks.
I like the sound of the polls, and the J&M's but I read just as much negatives on them also. So what's a newbie to do.
I really didn't want to spend more than $800 on the complete system, but looks like I might have to if these speakers don't hold.
So again, what would be a really good amp, that handles 2 ohms per speaker, and does't break the bank?

you'd be best going with something like the Alpine KTP445U with those speakers. It's 4 channel, 2 ohm and enough power to drive those speakers. Anything more than that and the speakers will be toast.
The BA HD CRAP speakers are 60w max speakers.
