You will need a set of spacer adapters to convert the 5.25 opening to 6.5. We recommend Arc audio adapters. But eastern performance adapters fit nicely as well. These are sold on EBay.

If you don't mind risking losing FM check out the Cerwin Vega B2.

I agree with my friend Haze. Much more power at 4 ohms and about the same price.

Amp Questions
I hate to ask so many questions, but I haven't dealt with amps since 1981.(LOL)
I was wondering if the RZ42000D would be an improvement over stock system. I purchased the kicker C65's from best buy and ordered the speaker adapters from ebay. Now I'm trying to make a decision on the amp. Will the RZ4200D allow me to listen to FM stations? Do I need additional supplies to connect it to the head unit? I guess my overall goal is to have an ok system that sounds better than stock.
Thanks again,
Brian Edley
By the way I listened to the kickers at best buy connected to an amp and I was impressed.

If you have the stock head unit all you need is the 8 gauge boss wiring kit and the speaker adapters. Use 16 ga. wire for your install.

Briguy - It's going to be very difficult to have great sound on a budget and keep FM radio. It's a major trade off. Guys who want to keep FM radio on these bikes and have great sound will have to purchase the Biketronics 2180 with 4 ohm speakers or the PBR300x2 with two ohm speakers. Pretty much the only options you have keeping FM. Plenty options without FM. Class D amps due to their efficiency are the best amps for our bikes. Unfortunately they don't play well with FM radio.

The Cerwin Vega B2 is a great amp! But as always with class D there is a possibility he could lose FM. Some guys do and some guys don't. It's a crap shoot.
