Yeah man. Things have gotten a bit sporty on the forum regarding recommendations. Just a bunch of chatter about product and no true interest in getting the OPs exactly what they want based on their individual circumstances.
And the sheep are also pretty deep in the weeds on the HCX. So much better stuff available out there!!!!

Hang in there OP and be patient with your research!!!! It really is far less complicated ur being lead to believe.

Just sayin!!

You don’t need to spend HD $ to get decent stuff. I have had these on my 13 ultra for over 3 years and they work and look great.


Don’t get caught up in the hype.

With that amp your going to have to use a DSP. I would suggest the Stinger SPX700X4 amp.

That I could not tell you. I don't listen to FM radio. Maybe someone using this amp and has tried listen to radio stations can help out. You can listen to FM thru a phone app (TuneIn Radio, etc) so listening to FM on your radio to me isn't a big deal.
