Hello all hope you can help I have a 2005 Yamaha RSTD with a wide open plastics Fairing. Running a JVC KD R720 head deck and 4 Polk Audio MM 521 Speakers. Looking for a good amp I have been told either the Arc Audio 125.2 or the Bazooka CSA-4 XA MC. Can anyone please point a low experianced person in the proper direction. Thanks alot all.

There is no denying that Robert Zeff makes an excellent product, however keep in mind that the Bazooka amplifier has 4 channels versus the 2 of the Arc Audio. This will allow you control of the output of the front or rear speakers by using the fader on the headunit. Running the Arc Audio at a 2 ohm stereo load, which will be your only option if you want to connect all 4 of your speakers, will leave you unable to use the fader function of the headunit.

The speakers are in a Motorcycle fairing they sound good now but I have been told a good amp will make a dramatic improvement. Keep in mind I ama total rookie in this field

In your opinion which of the 2 amps will product the best clean loud sound. Yes I want loud but as clean as I can get. I have very little knoledge in this field.

I would choose the Bazooka. And while I am obviously biased towards Bazooka, here's why. I know for sound quality, I am looking for balance and detail within the music. This means that I am focusing on the useable power of the amplifier. If I keep a 4 ohm load on the amplifier, this leaves me with more useable power versus dropping the amplifier into a 2 ohm load.
