I saw a catalog yesterday from Hawg-Wired, that was passed out at the V-Twin Expo in Cincy last wkd.
New Pkge.,...
"SIXPACK SYSTEM"
Its a 2-channel amp 200 watt RMS (100x2) PSC2002-RS
ZX654-100 6.5" Component Speakers (pair)
Clonical 6.5"speaker adapter rings (pair)
Class-D Digital Design
2Year Warranty (amplifier Complete Install Kit
Available March 2011
$849.95
I also talked to Justin today, from Hawg-Wired
they will have a 4-Channel Amp 400 watt being released as soon as they get the grills for the speaker pods ironed out. This will b done in a couple weeks!
The 6.5" speakers ZX series offer a 160% larger woofer cone, an audiophile grade 12db per octave xover network and Hawg-Wireds sig. bridge mounted component tweeter.
IMHO
Hurry Up Hawg-Wired!
Now would you like for me to tell u which sys. I'd pick?

The other thing to remember with amps is that it's not always about "power". You also have to consider the distortion rating or THD as it is usually listed. All the power in the world is useless if its at a high distortion factor. The lower the number, the cleaner and more efficient the amp is. I am noticing that alot of times, motorcycle amp manufacturing companies do not list these numbers.
The newer class "D" and class "M" amps provide some of the cleaniest power, but are also some of the more expensive. The old saying is true, you get what you pay for!
I replaced the older alpine 4 channel amp that I had in my saddlebag over the winter with a arc audio 125.2, while it does sound clean, and I am driving it at a 2ohm load with 4 MB Quarts (6.5"s in the fairing, and 5.25"s in momma's couch). The Alpine definetly sounded better.

X2 here... Definitely on a budget but like most want the most bang for my buck. Only doing a fairing system as i don't have lowers and wanting some clean sound. Was thinking the J&M Rokkers with the ARC amp might be an ok mix? Although admittedly I know zero about stereo's...
