Thanks, I'll check that out.

Hey rbferg,

Thanks for the info on the Polksl Looking at their website I see 2 box like items with 3 wires coming out one side and I guess 2 from the other side. Are those needed for the installation? Or can I just plugh into the Hog Tunes amp? Also I assume I can get the adapter rings from Sonic too? As I stated before I'm audio challenged so I appreciate the help.

The two "boxes" are cross-overs for the speakers and you will need to install them. Just zip-tie them behind the horizontal fairing braces on each side once speakers are installed. Each cross-over is wired to the right and left output of the amp, I just used butt connectors and crimped. The wires coming from the other side of the cross-overs go to the speakers (white stripes are positive). I don't believe Sonicelectronix carries speaker adapters for Harley's but I used Arc Audio 6.5" adapters and other companies make them as well. Below is a link to the brand I used. Another thing too remember is that if you change amps in the future you will need a 2 ohm stable amp as the Polk MM651's are 2 ohm speakers.

this is not correct sir. The HT amp will drive those BT7P1s perfectly fine. There are better choices for amps out there though IMO.

remember you can always go UP in ohms, just can't go down.

If your amp handles 2 ohms, you're perfectly safe running 4 ohm speakers just not the other way around.
