Default Question for the gurus

Let me start by saying I read this board every day and have learned a lot. Thank you all.
I bit the bullet and ordered a SS PN2.350 amp, Kappa speakers, and JL Audio BT receiver.
2014 EG Police, will I need some kind of adapter rings for the speakers? Any kind of special speaker wire?
These may seem like entry-level questions, but I am an entry level builder. Thanks in advance.

Not for the 14 models no. 16 gauge speaker wire will work well.

If the speaker pods are not in the fairing on the police version you will have to purchase the BT pod eliminator brackets.

If the pods are in there you will have to mount the Kappas on the inside of the pods to keep from the speaker surrounds from being damaged.

Thanks, Babyboy. They are the stock pain in the... butt to remove pods, just empty. Looking forward to some Pink Floyd.

I kept hearing that a SS PN1000 and the Kappas would sound good but have no use for a 4 channel amp so went with the 350. Still putting 175 per side on the table, should do the trick.

A little FYI for not getting "POD KNUCKLE"
Use a long 1/4 inch extension universal joint and a 7/16 socket for the lower bolts of the pods

I was thinking about an offset stubby 7/16 combination wrench but I'll have to give your suggestion a try. And since I don't have a 1/4" extension or universal (or stubbys either), it gives me an excuse to go to the tool store. Win!
