Default Static after Hogtunes amp install
I had Hogtunes speakers then got a use Hogtunes amp, after install I get static from my radio 'FM" but clear with my Aux with my phone plugged in, where should I start looking?
Is it likely a ground issue? Or antenna issue.
Any tips or help will be greatly appreciated,
Right now I'm tempted to take the amp out.

Find a better grounding place. Also make sure your power and ground wires are separated from each other wires. What wire size did you use for the ground and power wire?

I might lose the amp but the speakers were an improvement over stock.

Definitely an improvement over stock. But you can do much better bro! Are these the Hog tunes 6.5 or the 5.25 speakers?
