I will do my best to keep everyone posted when they are actually available. I, just like many others can't wait because we have or I have anyways grown up with the RF stuff and know the history of the products. Almost already mid March!!!

Not sure if it is new news or not, but I learned the delay was getting one of the parts for the amps internal works. I guess there were some components that RF disaproved due to quality and it took some time to replace them with quality parts and now they are trying to get them together. Yaffe still thinks end of May, beggining of June. All I know for now.

Was looking for a 4 channel amp before finally buttoning up my handlebar install. Was hoping this would be on the market by now (looked into it months ago). Shows shipping now for May, guess I'll just have to take the fairing off again later.

Just finished new bars and new front end stuff. Have new pipes ordered and should be here this week. Was thinking sound system would be next mod especially since these pipes are gonna be a TAD BIT louder than stock. Think I will switch to the Air Ride mod next and hold off till May or June for the sound. Thx for all the info guys. Also was a kid of the 80's and if ya didn't have a Rockford Punch and 4-6x9's you just didn't have a stereo, lol.

I used a 250 watt Wetsounds amp I got from throttle-upindustries.com and 4 Rockford Fosgate speakers with two tweeters. The speakers I am running in the stock location have a part number P-1652-S they are a component speaker. The speakers I am running down lower facing the forks on a Road Glide have a part number P-1S652 they are shallower speakers so that I did not have to cut up my glove boxes. I ran the two in the stock location with the amp last summer and loved it so I decided to add two more this winter. All my buddies were standing around the first time we sparked off all 4 speakers and let me tell you the smile one my face was HUGE my buds just shook their heads and said WHY DO YOU NEED IT THAT LOUD! I simply said because I can. These speakers are crystal clear you can hear every note well worth the money I spent. Get them off of ebay CHEAP!
Are you running the stock Head Unit? I'm lost when it comes to Ohms. I thought you needed to run a 2 ohm speaker on the stock head units? And I've also noticed the PBR300X is only a 4ohm amp. It says it can not be run any other way. Does this work for HK units?
After going back and forth for months between J&M Rokkers and Rockford Fosgate, I'm even more confused today. I've always had RF stuff and loved it.
Is it just a matter of how you wire it?

I am not bashing on this amp, haven't heard it, would like to compare it to my Arc Mini... The fact that the new RF amp only supports 4 ohm loads is concerning though.

Technically all amps are plug and play.. But the reality is you will need to run at least an 8Guage power wire from the battery and then an 8 guage ground wire to complete the power circuit. Then you will need to adapt the speaker outputs of your factory head to go to the inputs of the amp, either high level or through an RCA adapter. It's pretty straight forward. Amp / Speaker upgrade takes less than two hours to complete and that's taking your time.
