Default 2 Speaker w/ amp setup help

Yes, I know.. this horse has been beaten to death already. I just don't have the time to research all the newest hardware. Sorry in advance.

Looking for a 2 speaker setup for 18 RGS. Factory head, want to keep FM and ride wet at times. Budget less than $1k-ish. Did 12V audio installs back in the day so I'll DIY the install.

TIA

Gonna be hard to keep FM signal with most amps nowadays. Class D amps are notorious for killing reception. There are a few that are better than others. I had a stinger amp that didnt kill FM completely, but I'm sure the more rural you get, the less that is true. Maybe some of the other newer amps are better. I just only know about the stinger amp. The SD amp I have now, my FM is gone.

Whats wrong with streaming services like pandora or iHeart radio? Or even better, playing your own music from your phone or SD card?

Ended up talking to Shocker and he got me hooked up with a Cicada system. Will update once everything is installed.

Ended up getting Cicada CM65X.2 with RR075T driven by a FLX700.4. The system is VERY loud and clear.

After Shock Audio was super helpful and answered any questions I had. Happy with the install and the finished results.
