Are the speakers straight attachment to the wiring or are different attachments needed, any videos on install? And lastly where do I find polyfil? And thanks for the great help!
Since you've already invested in the boom setup, I would start with the speakers first. Replace those boom audio speakers with something of better quality in a 2 ohm version to match that amp. Wrap the fairing speakers with polyfil, line the rear pods with polyfile, and see how you like it. If you think you need more then go for the amp replacement at that point. The speakers will have been already upgraded so you won't have to replace those.
My suggestion for front and rear speakers is the Infinity Kappa 62.11i.
Amazon.com: Infinity Kappa 62.11I 150W 6.5-Inch 2-Way Kappa Series Coaxial Speakers: Car Electronics
You will need a set of v-twin adapter rings for the rear pods - http://www.vtwinaudio.com/store/prod...r-adapter-kit/
You will need a set of speaker adapter rings for the fairing as well.

polyfil can be found at walmart in the crafts section - https://www.dropbox.com/s/0r7ofpdfmm...lyfil.jpg?dl=0
as for the speaker terminals, HD does things bass ackwards.
the smaller terminals on an HD are the + and the larger terminals are the -. You will need to reverse those on any aftermarket speaker that is NOT a direct HD replacement such as Biketronics, Hogtunes, J&M, etc.

I believe I know the answer to this but putting it out there to be safe. 2015 Road Glide Special with the Rushmore head unit. I do have the PBR300x2 with Hertz HCX165 speakers. Only one set of speakers, simply replacing the stock.
With this setup I am simply running my positive and negative wiring from the right amp channel directly the right speaker, and the left directly to the left speaker. Only if there is another set of speakers involved then can you take into consideration the parallel wiring, etc. Correct?

Another seemingly stupid question, can I reuse the wire from the boom amp to the boom speakers for the kappa's or do I need different wire and if so what kind/type?

I have a 14 SGS, presently running RF PBR300x2 w/ Infinity Kappa 62.11i and BT LL. I just purchased a RF T400x2 AD and am trying to decide between Focal KRC's or Arc Moto 602's. Any suggestion would be appreciated and want to note this is a two speaker setup only. Thanks for any responses.

2011 Road King Classic w/HogTunes 200 watt speakers
I am setting up a system with HogTunes 200 watt speakers. Look at your original post I see that I should have an amp rated at 300 watts per channel to give it the headroom it needs to run cooler. Please confirm. Thanks!
