Question for you, Jimmytee...Like you mentioned, the NVX amp is on backorder right now. Would you advise waiting for that one or would this one work almost as well:

Well according to the description or specifications , the amp is not bridgeable. So for what I did, no it wouldn't work. I have the two rear channels bridged to a single channel for the subwoofer. The combined or bridged output for the NVX is rated at 175 watts into 4 ohms. So you see what bridging can do, but the amp has to be able to do it. So effectively, I have the 4 channel amp running as a 3 channel amp.Originally Posted by Hornblower
If the NVX had not been available this is the amp I would have gotten. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113XR40...-4.html?tp=115
I have it in my Valkyrie and it completely rocks and sounds very good. It won't ,however, fit where I put the NVX amp, but I could have found another place for it to go. The Kenwood amp is only 1" thick, but the length and width measurements are bigger. I fit it inside the Woody's Batwing fairing of my Valkyrie and it is sandwiched between the inner and outer shells. Since the photo was taken I hooked up the two remaining channels for 6.5" speakers in the saddlebags. In the photo, I have the front 2 channels powering 4 Kicker 5.25 " speakers. Two left in parallel and likewise for the right for a 2 ohm load on each of the front channels.

Thanks, Jimmytee. You are turning out to be a great resource for this subject. Of course, it's probably going to wind up costing me money

Funny, it shows as out of stock on the Sonic site. However, I ordered from Amazon and the order status is "shipped". Maybe they prioritize Amazon orders first? Dunno.
Yeah, I guess this amp is making waves because, shortly after I got mine in December, the price went up. I believe we paid $169 for the amp and then it went up to $200. Now , of course it seems inventory is not keeping up with demand. I , for one, am glad Honda didn't have that issue with the F6B.I bet that Honda wished they had that issue.
I, too, saw the NVPA1 on Amazon but I didn't see the NVPA4. Did I miss it? Can you post the link?

I couldn't find the 4 channel one on Amazon either. Here is a link to NVX's site, but they list this amp at $299. That's a big jump in price.

No, I cannot, because like a dumb ass I ordered the wrong amp!
Sorry, man! I hate it when that happens! Maybe you can still cancel the order on Amazon if it hasn't shipped already

I install 2 polk marine 6x9 in each of my saddle bags with a small amp in left bag it sounds incredible I use the rear speaker output for signal so the fader and everything works as it should I install a switch on the left panel to turn amp off if I only want to play stock stereo, and yes I ride big time I can carry luggage for myself and wife for a week. I had the bike 1 year I have just over 11,000 miles
