Post Just a couple quick questions...

I have a 2009 Electra-Glide Ultra Classic & I have already invested in a SS PN4.520D amp, Sony DSX-S310BTX HU, BT Retro Kit, BT 7.1s for the fairing & Infinity Kappa 6.11i for the rear pods.
1. Will I need to replace the stock speaker wires for this setup?
2. Will I need any adapters for the Kappas in the rear pods?
Thanks for your advice.
Greg

1. No need to replace any wires in the rear pods. Stock speakers wires are fine.
2. It's strange. Some guys do some guys don't. I have never had to use a spacer for that model bike with the infinity's. But guys tell me all the time they can't get them to fit without a spacer. Test fit it. If you need a spacer they are cheap. By the way, that set up is going to sound great!

Looks like I'll need a spacer.
The holes are slightly off & the speaker won't fit flush no matter which way I orient them
Any recommendations???

All you need is about 1/4 to 1/2" clearance at the most. I'd look at something like these:
