The 4.520 is not bad for 100 bucks, having had both amps the 1000D is with the extra 60 bucks. It's in another league!

For the CB Velcro/mount it under the radio.

Fantastic, Any idea what gauge wire for the power to the battery. Also as far as ground do i ground direct to battery or the ground below the tank. What is the biggest speaker that will fit in the rear factory speaker pods. Do I need an adapter? I read on the forum that alot of people like the Polk MM651's. Any thoughts? Sorry for all the questions, just making sure all my ducks are in a row to make the install as smooth as possible.

The biggest problem with loss of FM reception is that you have no audio input other than CD's. That's no problem if you have an aftermarket head unit with bluetooth capabilities, but with a stock head unit without bluetooth it's not much fun. Another option is the Rockford Fosgate PBR 300x2. It is not a class D amp and has no loss of FM. It's only a 2 channel amp though, and while it's possible to run 2 sets of 4 ohm speakers in parallel you still lose the ability to fade from front to rear. RF also makes a 4 channel PBR, but they have been reported to run very hot, much hotter than the 2 channel amp.
