So which grills are those?

 

Don't know for sure, but guessing Hogtunes

Johnathan should be able to answer what grills they are (he installed them), but i do believe they are hogtunes.

Tape or glue the tweeter wire at the bottom of the grill (i hope that makes sense, the 1/4 horizontal part of the grill). This keeps the woofer from hitting the wires.

 

You can see where I put a small piece of tape.

 

Yes, those are the grills you want. If you use the backer rod it will hold the tweeter wire in place against the grill. I covered the grill and tweeters with treated grill cloth to protect them and for the stealth look.

 

After a little delay, I finally got these installed front & rear



There, this should be torn down far enough.



I added a layer of speaker cloth to the inside of the grill, then installed the tweeter. And while I was there.....



Backer rod held everything in place and this is what I ended up with.



Because of the CB bracket screw, I needed a heavy 1/4 spacer. 2 strips of aluminum flat stock plus 3M tape worked fine



MPX, stock, 602



Those stock speakers are something else... Hahaha



I was really happy with the 602's in the tourpack and a little hesitant to take them out.



But Bertk said he liked the MPX better, so....



Took a long ride today from interstate speeds to low speed cruising around the Gettysburg battlefields and all points in-between. Damn this sounds good. The Biketronics 7.1's are back in the box as these MLK's are here to stay. The MPX are much easier to hear at cruising speeds than the 602's were and fit the bill much better than I thought they would.

I'm done. Seriously, I'm done...

Thanks to all here for helping spend a lot more than I thought I would, but ending up with a result I'm beyond thrilled with.

 

Awesome install bro!!!! Looks clean!!!

MLKs are good well rounded speaks!!! If u get to the point that u just need a little more noise at highway speeds don't be afraid to try crossing them at 90ish. They seemed to take a knee (distort - Ganns vocab grab) a little bit early in the game when crossed to low or in full pass/all pass.

Again, awesome job brotha!!!! Enjoy the hell out of it!!!!
