Default Hawg Wired CS300

Hello people,
i want to upgrade sound system on my 2013 FLHK.
I was thinking of leaving HK unit and install 2 Polk 651 speaker or better (someone knows better products?).
For the amplifier what you tell me about HW CS300? I'm in love with him mainly because of its size. What are the differences between RF PBR 300x2, SS pn4.520d and Arc Audio mini amp?
I want a clean sound, clear and with the lowest possible distortion.
What you advise me?Thank you so much

Giuseppe

I've read in many threads that the amplifiers are most commonly used are SS and RF.
But SS is too big to be mounted above the radio and RF is very hot compared to class-D amplifiers.
Now, i have directed to HW amp but since I do not know the product I wanted to ask those who use if it is a good product.

Thank you

How many speakers do you want to run ???

If the answer is 2,.....the Rockford 300/2 is your best bet for an amp. This amp does NOT overheat, and is a 'best bang for the buck' choice of many !!

If the answer is 4, we need more info !!

I prefer the Kappa by Infinity. They sound REALLY good with a little power behind them !

Perfect! then....Infinity kappa speakers and RF PBR300x2 seems like a good combination!

Adaptor rings for the speakers. Amp install kit or 10 gauge wiring with crimp connectors and an inline fuse.
