Default How many AMPS for a RF 300x4?

My guy tells me I'm going to need a second battery to run this system:


The Bagger Nation Ultra “Supreme” 75EX System
Our latest complete Stereo system caters to lovers of Ultra Classic Models! This system replaces the stock in fairing speakers with our fantastic Power 6.5” coaxial speakers and also upgrades to tour pack speakers with Power coaxial 5.25 speakers. The new RF 300x4 Amp makes this an *** kickin’, affordable sound system available for your Ultra. Each kit includes (2) 6.5 Rockford Fosgate “Power” coaxial speakers / A set of 6.5” Speaker adapters / (2) 5.25” Rockford Fosgate “Power” coaxial speakers / a Rockford BRT 300x4 amp / Our exclusive Hard mount heat sink for the amp and a complete wiring harness and step by step instructions!. This system will provide you with amazing sound clarity and volume capabilities you’ve never heard from a motorcycle sound system! It’s also expandable so if later you want to add a set of Audio Lids w/ 6”x9”s or some 6.5”s to your fairing lowers you’ll have 2 extra channels on your amp to do it.

Default No Way

NO WAY will you need another battery. trust me, or look at GP's system with 1200 watts and he has nothing extra. There is a huge explanation why the amperage draw theory is wrong and i will make it very short and simple. You have a battery between your draws and your stator. There are plenty of guys here and everywhere else using this set up with no worrys. Give Paul Yaff a call and he will laugh when ya tell him that. Don't worry man, you will be all good.

I just did this, amp& r/f p1 speakers $302.00 at sonix electronics, amp install kit- wal mart (delux I may add) 20.00, 5 1/4 to 6.5 speaker adapters-45.00 arc audio, there's cheaper & better adapters. Took me about 8 hours with lots of breaks to install, + you get to know your bike better.

Dumb question number two: What year is your bike? Mine is a 1999 an I hope the wiring harness could handle it...

My bike is a 10, but the amp power supply wire goes straght to your batt.(with a fuze) so there's no additonal strain on your factory harness.
