No matter what amp you stick in there it's going to run hot. You may want to put a piece of aluminum under it to absorb some of the heat.

This is the one I'm leaning toward, not as much power but would be more than I have now, and it is 4 channel and pretty compact.

Doesn't your radio put out that much Cliff? This says 45WX4, Max of 400W. My radio says 60WX4 to a total 240W. The speakers I got are 500W that's why I went with the 1000W amp.....it doesn't mean I am going to be riding with it blasting.

I mounted a wooden base on the fairing to mount the amp as you can see....that's when I realized how small in physical size these amps are!

Oooops! I guess picture didn't upload but here it is now.

Mine is a JVC, and it puts out RMS 20w per channel, and peak of 50w per channel, so that amp will double my output, and still not over run my Polk speakers. I love my system, and it sounds good, I just want a little more power. My volume on the head unit goes up to 50, and I've never had to go louder than 17, and that was back when I was running loud pipes.

Hey Cliff I hope you didn't buy that at that price. I have seen a few of them on ebay for around $100

Looking good and sounding good Amin! Nice combination right there!

Thanks Dave! The other day when we had a beautiful sunny day out when I had gone riding, I decided I was going to make a video of the bike. I get to a nice place and think this is a good place to do it and when I started to record it said "not enough memory". Pull the card out and I had the wrong card in there. Oh well. will have to wait.

No, haven't pulled the trigger yet, I'm in no hurry, but thanks for the head's up.

Yeah that's my kind of luck man!
