Default Cicada or Ground Zero

I am about to order my stuff for install: originally looking at GZ Yellow Baskets, SD 800.4 and an HKI mini DSP. Able to get Cicada CH65.4 and the Cicada DSP150.4D for about $150.00 more. Looking at the best bang for the buck. I’m looking for sound quality or volume, I think either system will be good at Highway speeds. It’s going into a 2019 Street Glide, only going to be running the two speakers, not planning more. I’ve posted a few options here prior, and have gotten good advice. Install is in a few weeks and I need to settle on a system.

If you go the Cicada route and I probably would myself. Look at the CH65.2 that will give you 150W per speaker instead of 90w if you ever want to add 2 more speakers.

Looking at the amp specs, it can’t be bridged at 2 ohms, so I would just run it off two channels?

If you never plan to do more than a 2 speaker set up, then go for the 4ohm.
