Here's a picture of an ARC 125.4 installed in a 2009 SE Road Glide:



It's the four channel version of the Arc 125.2 two-channel amp; but with four channels and double the power. If you plan on adding fairing lower speakers or a tour pak with speakers, the Arc 125.4 would be a good choice. Retails for about $530 but you can probably find it at an auto audio shop for $375 or so.

You make a good point but like the next poster said, I never said I was buying the shark thinking it was Hi quality, more like crossing my fingers and hoping to get lucky. You see, I am cheap and poor. I have tried $100 car amps in cars and they aren't so great, really. That kicker won't fit. The 10.25 might go but the 9.5 is too wide to fit that spot and the 2-1/4 is way too tall.

BTW, I said I was gonna try the shark but truth is I want the arc so might just stick with my little alpine for now til I can buy the arc...
Being naturally cheap, I would probably go for the elf if they were still $150 but the price went to $200 the day I heard about them,Figures.. But at $200, I'll just eventually go for the arc, I think it can be had for maybe $275..

 

There isnt a lot of room in there!
If you want a larger amp,your gunna have to stick in a bag or tour pack.

 

Probably works like an ARC 125.2....

I'm cheap too, that's why I'm looking at all the alternatives, one suggestion from UltraNutZ was a micro amp called Road Rage,he has 2 installed for a 4 speaker system & he said it sounds great. He posted on this post about 4 pages back & it sounds like he knows what he's talking about, I found that amp for about $45. Someone else was using a Kicker 100amp in a batwing & he was very satisfied, I mistakenly thought I read somebody stating that there was more room in a RG fairing, that's the reason for this post. I always like to go with something that's been used & liked by someone already, that's why my consideration for those 2. I have also found a Pyle marine amp that's almost the same size as the arc-elf amp, 7.9x5.2x2 & I'm pretty sure that it should fit, it's on ebay for $41.
If anyone has used this amp or Pyle products in general please give your thoughts. I think I misunderstood your statement on the quality of amps after I reread your post, I know I'm not going to get quality for this price, I'm just looking for the best bang for the buck.

 

And you have to reach deeper into your pockets!

 

I used that Pyle on my 01. I mounted it under the Tour Pak in that wasted space between bottom of TP and fender. It worked ok and was a great boost with the Rockford Punch 152's I had. I could hear my stereo over my Pro Pipe at any speed but not at audiophile quality. Pretty much tightest budget build, 40 dollar amp and 50 dollar speakers.
The pyle wont fit under RG fairing as it is to tall at 2.2 inches, it just doesn't fit between the glove box and the side of the fairing.
I just bought a Lanzar MNX250 for $56 delivered, it's 5.2x6.4x1.7 and claims 250RMS per side, we'll see. Here's a link, never heard anything about Lanzar but they are a big outfit with lots of products badged as Lanzar plus I got it through Amazon so it's an easy return if it turne out to be a POS. http://www.lanzar.com/itempage.asp?model=MNX250#

 

There is alot of room, if,... you got a couple of these,... one on each side. If your a wiring God, ya can get er done. But,... and here is that word with a crack in it,... If you have a stock Harmon -Kardon no matter what ya do your NOT gonna get that Good, Clean Sound ya want!!! You can make it sound a whole lot Better; it is not gonna sound as good as a SONY. You can buy a $170.00 Sony 52x4 watts, a couple of 6.5" speakers $50.00 bucks and adapter rings $40.00 make your own bracket for the radio and have somebody that knows what they are doing when installing,and I gaurantee ya you'll be Satisfied! All for less than $300.00! My buddy did it and the sound is as clean and as loud as mine!

 

I too am on a low budget and I would not take J&M if you gave them to me. As for the Sharks; posted some where on this forum it mentions they run too hot and the Elf's well they are just plain getting greedy jumping the price to $200. I am going to try for the Road Rage as well (kudos to UltraNutz) they are only $48 plus $7 for shipping, however they are set up for 4 Ohm speakers so you cant overdrive them or you need to put large 2 watt resistors in series with the speakers.
