I think there was a very recent thread on this if u try hitting up the search function there are some good posts in that thread.

In a nutshell, what are u listening to on FM that is not available on things like MediaU, IHeart, etc.... that are available thru ur phone with much better overall sound quality,

I had a B52 an it didn't interfere with my FM. The nxv 2 channel I have right now does. I had the cheap little soundstream an it didn't. I wonder if it varies amp to amp because some have posted they didn't have a problem with the nvx amp. I picked up Massive nx4 to try to see if it's FM friendly. I use a flash drive for music an FM for sports talk an news.

Hey I bought some Boss speakers to put on my road king with a 600 watt amp. Hoping it sounds as good as yours. Hopefully someone out there has the same as me

The Stinger amps, both the SPX350 and SPX700, don't seem to affect FM reception.

I was told that if I use factor head unit with an amp I need to use an rca input converter to the amp do you guys use this ? Of course I am no audio guy I thought I could just cut ends off and solder to my speaker wires ,but now I am told I can’t do that and that’s is the reason I got distortion is this true ?? Sorry for all the stupid questions!!

Guys, if you are looking for good speakers then I can suggest you to check https://www.digitalprosound.com/best...akers-reviews/ ... it is a nice site with different reviews. I have bought from them a new speaker Rockford R169X2 Full-Range Coaxial ... it is great I like it very much ! This site has helped me with a lot of things also ( printer for my office ). I do not know why, but today on the market it is a big choice of products and to select a really good item become very difficult.
