Not understanding what you are disagreeing with? Did I not say the amp you suggested was a good option? The issue is FM Radio. Read my post before you respond with a disagreement bro.

Unfortunately in bike audio it seems lately that quality equates to expensive. There are so many favorable products used in the car audio industry. For example the PPI 900.4 gets rave reviews from car guys but bagger audio vendors crap on PPI and Soundstream?? In contrast the Memphis Mojo 8 is loved in the bike scene but that speaker and the DD VO series is hardly popular amongst car audio enthusiast. You'll see more folks running HAT, Faital, etc. Point being there's some great stuff out there.

Gannicus I should have been more clear in what I was disagreeing with. I apologize. I meant only that I would not consider the PBR to be a good quality amp compared to the others listed. When referring to RF reception you very well may be correct on that. However as far as clean sound production I do not feel that its is anywhere on the level of the other models listed. That model has a long history of overheating and a "muddy" sound when paired with a high quality speaker. I in no way meant to imply you were giving out bad information.

Haze I agree that quality does at times come with a price to match. I was only offering my opinion based on my experience with Bike audio. Car and bike audio are wildly different for many reasons. The main reason is the harsh environment that the equipment has to operate in while on a bike and the massive amount of obstacles a setup has to over come in order to be heard at highway speeds clearly.

Does anyone know what wiring harness and bracket to mount the cv amp I would buy? This setup sounds great. Got everything so far for under 400.
