You will be miles ahead if you hold out just a little while and let your budget grow just a tad. For around $500ish you can have a system that'll blow that 08 Boom upgrade out of the water.
Not too long ago I pulled that same exact system out of a friends CVO. The stock system on my 2010 Limited sounded just as good or better than what he was pulling out. I installed a SS pn4.520, Kappa 62.11 in front, and Kickers in the rear for him a year ago and he's still thanks me every time I see him. It's worth it to wait my friend.

Speaker adaptors - 25.00

Kappas won't fit in the rear pods without an adapter ring in most cases. Kicker, Alpine, and Polks drop in with no modification.

Yes. Drops in without adapters. You will need to drill new pilot holes for the screws to hold the speakers in.

What a turn this thread took. All I thought when I posted was "I'm not going to let them talk me out of it". Here is where I am: Hog tunes front speakers )I already had them sitting on the shelf), kicker KSC 674 (Crutchfield scratch and dent) $85 for the rear. I will revisit the amp later, then come back around and replace the fronts (unless I can unload them on the Forum or CL).
Thanks again!
