Did you try installing the kappas? I was told the 62.11i will fit the rear pods, but that you'd need to do a little wiring to make them work.

The 2014 and up speaker pods are different, and the kappas would not fit in mine, e bay has a spacer from v twin audio that will allow the kappas to fit but the spacer is 89.99, I will be changing my speakers and would like a reasonable priced drop in speaker as well, mine will be amped by a pbr 300x2( don't want to hi jack)

Are they plug and play or do you need to rewire to run them with an amp?

Basically run the existing rear speaker wires to the speaker side of the amp. . . Piece of cake!

The only rear 2 ohm speaker worth installing in the rear pods are the Infinity's and I'm told they won't fit in a 14 without an adapter. Now JM John claims to have a nice 2 ohm speaker for the 14's ($390 Bucks) but I have not heard them. I don't t like to recommend anything I have not installed and listened to myself. The only "other" 2 ohm speaker are the Booms.

J&Ms ROKKER XX 2-ohm speaker kit is pretty cool for the rear trunk pod position on the 2014-2015 Ultras ,,, all plug-n-play, and includes spacers and custom grills http://www.jmcorp.com/ProductDetail....URK-6652TW-RXX ,,,,,,,

not sure what else I can do to it to make it perfect for this application, other than possibly a religious blessing from some of the folks here on HD-Forums ,,,,,,,
