I'm with you on that amp. Gets fricken super hot and the built in heat sinks don't provide very much protection.

Thanks J. I was just thinking about buying a RF amp. Can't believe they are that bad. RF is supposed to be a good company. Oh well. The search continues.

Good info! Damn I hate to put one in the bag!
I just put an Arc Audio 300.4 in my boat pushing 8 Focal 6.5"s. I got it all from Peter at Soundz Customz "Vendor on this site."
It is not a mini amp but it packs a helluva punch and doesn't seem to get too hot.

Plus you have plenty of natural and cross ventilation to keep it cool.there is nothing in our fairings. That's one of the problems.
It's in the center console mounted on 1" stand offs to try and help with cooling.

The arc amps do not get hot in the fairings either. Peter has his arc 500.4 mini pushing 8 6.5 focals on his sg never had a problem with heat.

Pretty lame! I thought Rockford was a good name? I was seriously thinking of getting those amps and the price was in my range! Really don't want to spend more then what the RF goes for...

Can we use car amps too? Or they just draw too much current compared to the small ones like the RF's, Nautical's. I don't know too much about stereos just minor basics.
As long as your willing to give up the bag space it shouldn't be an issue.

RF hasn't been good since about the early 90's. I quit using them then. They used to be .001 harmonic distortion level and since then have climed way up and you could drop them down to about half ohm which would smoke them now. I switched to McIntosh in my car, but way to expensive and big to put in a bike.
Watching this thread because thinking about adding some audio to the bike.

Bill, is your arc audio a 4 channel?
