I havent seen any reducers forsale, but im sure someone makes them?

I guess my question is with all of the great 6.5's that are out there. why would you want to downgrade to a 5.25 speaker?

Bud you should return those as fast as you can.

Then make a new post about what you want to accomplish, how much budget you’re working with, and take that advice.

Hogtunes is bottom of the barrel stuff along with a whole of other “motorcycle specific” crap. It’s either rebranded junk or overpriced as hell.

You can do MUCH better for less. If you’re trying to run off the stock head unit without adding an amp, you’re kinda limited because most speakers come in 4 or 8 ohm voice coils, the infinity kappa 6.5’s are 2.7 ohm which is close the oem Harley. Without adding an amp, you’re kind of just throwing money on the ground because you aren’t going to get any real benefit where you want it which is clarity and volume at highway speeds.

I wondered the same thing. The hogtunes are not an upgrade.
