I see where you said your RF amp blew out. I just had my third one blow out yesterday.
The first one lasted 8 minutes, the second one lasted almost an hour and the third lasted just over an hour. At this rate I'm gonna have to buy a lot more of them. (Ha ha....NOT !!!!!!!)
I've never set one higher than 5 (gain) and when I turn my stereo up, as the wind gets louder........BUZZZZZ !!!
I hate that with a passion, as I really love my tunes.
I'm going to go see if I can have them repaired. I am just curious what you were able to find out. I'm currently looking into other possible amps that will fit in the fairing (FLHX). I've contacted RF a few times and they won't respond. When they do respond, they copy and paste their FAQ's sections that have nothing to do with the problem.
Any thoughts/ help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Nah...no warranty. I did manage to get good pricing on them though...and an avg. cost of about $120.00. Yes they were all new and still wrapped in the plastic. I know that's still a lot of money too though.

i also suffered from the advice i recieved from my local stereo shop..guy said he done many bagger stereos and that the pbr 300 and alpine typr R speakers was the way to go... what a fool i was.. after replacing the pbr 4 times i finally came to my senses to change amps..heard great things about the SS picasso amps.but was having trouble with stock availability so i turned onto the JL xd series amps..i ended up using polk audio MM series coax paired with the jl xd amp i am really pleased in comparrison to my old setup..the alpine speakers cost a fraction of the polk but the diference is worth the extra cash.. i believe i payed around $200 for the 6.5 polks and $200 for the 6x9s. the JL amp ran about $300..
also i wanted to mention that amazon is theroetically supposed to warranty my blown rockford amps (i still have 3 of them to send back hopefully they will be replaced) but i contacted rockford just in case and they charge $113 to service or refurbish a blown pbr amp..i only payed $130 anyways...lol if amazon replaces them for free i will give them to my buddies as stocking stuffers this xmas...hahaha

Always admired your set up, can you hear your rear speakers while riding? I have to rewire my polk audio 6x9s and have never really cared for them compared to the hertz, if the speakers can be heard I will upgrade
