as in FM radio stations... yes. Does the amp interfere with FM reception somehow?
RF Amp . . No Sir! Class D amps??? Some do some don't. Like Austin my soundstreams never caused me to lose radio stations. But I live in the city where there are too many radio stations to mention. I was going to suggest the Sound stream as well if you didn't care about FM. It's a beautiful amp! Can't beat it for the price. But the probability of losing your FM stations is 80/90 percent.
The 6X9's you want are the 2 way Pioneers !! Best bass speaker, and only around $75 !!!
I've thought about those, they are my second choice. I try not to get caught in the rain, but the pass through tweeter is the only thing holding me back on them.
I use a SS 4.520 to power 4 (4ohm) speakers. Some people have complained that they have lost FM reception with this amp, but I have had no issues with that.
yeah that's still a hit or miss thing.
sometimes it affects FM in no way.
sometimes it affects FM slightly.
sometimes it completely wipes out FM reception.
I see the amp says high level power switching... so it will turn on when it sees signal from the HU, correct? If I am using the RCA outputs from the HU, is there any reason I can't use a separate source for remote turn on...such as the headlight feed or my unused accessory switch?
PBR amplifiers can be used in either mode, high-level (speaker line) or low-level (RCA).
The high-level input mode detects DC offset voltage on the speaker line and will turn-on the amplifier. A variable "high-level adjust" potentiometer sets the "threshold of the turn-on circuit.
The low-level input mode uses traditional RCA inputs and it requires the REM turn-on wire to be connected to +12V for the amplifier to turn-on.

so I don't need to use the remote turn on wire if I'm using the high level inputs? Currently it is hooked up.
In related info to the install...everything is hooked up and working great... except the microbypass I purchased for the stereo so that I could use the video options. Not sure what's going on there.

That is correct. You do not need the REM wire connected when using high-level inputs. If your having problems with the amplifier turning-on/off properly, use the HL ADJUST **** to tweak the trigger.
