Default Audio noob needing speaker advice...

I have a 2012 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I know I can fit 6.5" speakers in the fairing with an adapter. Sounds like plug & play rear speaker pods is a bit more of a PITA in terms of adapter? Should I just stick with a good pair of 5.25" for rear?

I would say no. If your going to upgrade, then upgrade to 6.5. There are some brands that fit. Some other will chime in. I thought I heard those AD's fit in there and there is a set in the classifieds right now.

I have Polk mm652 in 13 ultra pods. Drop right in to hole. Just drill new mounting holes.
