Paradynamics Low Pass is a good one.

MFJ makes an awesome one as well, but costs considerably more than the PDC. But, in this case the old addage of you get what you pay for holds true.

That would help on interfearance for sure. You could also try a better coax. Good ones will keep the bleedover to a min.

A low pass is always a good idea...especially if you plan on running a few watts. The amp merely amplifies the harmonics coming from the radio. The Low Pass helps remove them. Ground everything to a good earth ground as well and give the harmonics a place to go.
