You mean J&M? Overpriced stuff, don't buy direct. Find one of their
distributors and get it there. It's usually below MSRP. That said,
did you ever see the how to article about installing a *big* amp and
6" speakers for the 1800? Oh, my. I was seriously considering it
before selling mine. The only problem I would have had was the amp
goes in the cubby over the CB and is a really tight fit. Heat becomes
the issue without fans to cool it. The guy that installed the stuff
on his bike didn't have the CB and put a fan underneath the amp,
venting out the bottom of the tourbox. Neat install.

Yup. Sorry.

Too late.

My now four speakers *roar* with no distortion. I know the sound
self-compensates for road noise, but I don't know how, nor do I know the
power involved. I can't imagine needing more. I can drown out any nearby
hip-hop at stoplights. Theoretically, of course....
