Default looking for Amp Reccomendations

guys,
I know absolutely nothing about amps so please be gentle.

my current system installed on a 2012 Electra Glide Classic, SiriusXM Harley-Davidson Stereo AQ-MP-5UBT-HS with a set of 6.5″ Ultra Series Harley Speakers AQ-SPK6.5-4HB. It sounds good parked, but at highway speeds its just not enough.
I've been told that an amp would help. Any thoughts? suggestions?

Using Bluetooth from my iPhone it sounds great, but if I use either satellite or normal radio it sound sort of tinny at louder volumes. I ride with both full face and half helmets so i want to make sure I can hear my music.

Would appreciate any help.
the radio has a built in amp but i'd like a little more power. here are the specs of both the stereo and speakers

on a budget a Cerwin Vega B52 would work. If you want a little better quality the JL Audio 280/4 bridged would be great.
