Default Which Amp?

I'll make this a short as possible. 2018 Road Glide Special. I went with the Boom Audio Stage II and Amp route (junk). Well I've already blew a speaker. Yesterday I ordered the J&M Rokker XXR 6.71 fairing speaker for a quick fix. 2 questions:
#1 Can I still use that little Boom Amp? (just until the end of this years riding season)
#2 What Amp do you guys recommend?
My intentions are only using 2 speakers, but who knows later on. I just want to hear my tunes going down the road. East TN, SW Virginia, Western NC mountain roads, and occasional highway/ interstate when necessary. Not looking for any competition quality, just good quality tunes while I'm destressing.
Thanks for all your input in advance.

Boom is 2 ohm IIRC so that would be a no. Stop the J&M Jokker order or return it. You can do much better for cheaper. 2 Mmats 601.cx (250) or GZ 6.5 coax (300) amp SD 400.4 (250)and you will hear it @ 90mph loud and clear.
