Default speaker/amp upgrade

Decided to upgrade to Rockford Fosgate Punch P1650 speakers. I will be putting these in my fairing and in my lowers. Can get hooked up on 4 new speakers for $100, new in box.
Possibly adding Rockford P1T-S tweeters, $55, in the fairing.
Not sure what to do with the rear speakers yet
Can anyone recommend a good amp to go with this setup ?

The Rockford speakers are a little weak. But if you're getting a good deal on em I totally understand. Amp depends on if you want to keep your FM radio or not. Most of the Class D amps we use on our bike kill the FM. Bottom line. If you want to keep your FM it's gonna be expensive. If you don't care about FM the field is wide open.

I would like to retain as much fm reception as possible. I would entertain other speaker/amp options.
Thanks again.

For your situation this is a great amp at a good price that will maintain your FM reception.

These speakers are much better than the Rockford's:

Gannicus. The Infinity Kappa 62.11I 6.5" are going to be my best bet for my 03 ultra with the stock h/k radio?
What adapter rings would be the best for the fairing?
If FM reception is not an issue, what amp would you recommend?
Thanks

If I decide to add speakers to the lowers or tour pack will this amp work?

Does this amp kill your FM reception?
