Speakers weren't bad but I wanted better.

just curious why you're swapping out a 6.5" speaker for a 5.25" speaker?

According to the pictorial that yok posted, the original Harley speakers are in fact 5.25" so I may be on the right track.
Who knows though it's my first Street Glide

IMO, stop where you are.. bring or send those back and get you a set of Kicker CS67 speakers to drop in there. The hole is a 5.25" hole but it's a 6.5" speaker. You're not going to get any resemblance of bass out of a 5.25" speaker.

The speakers I bought have the correct impedance and are marine grade.
Im not too concerned with bass on an open motorcycle anyway. If I decide to, I will probably add a sub to one (or both) of the bags at a later time.
The goal at the moment is simply to reduce distortion at higher volume (ie cleaner sound) but this is all still new to me (the Harley part, not the audio part)

you can't put resistors inline to lower impedance. ok maybe CS67 were a bad choice to use for an example but the point was, I wouldn't waste my time with 5.25" speakers. Especially with the amount of work involved in getting those pods off. you will be replacing them..

Nice pictorial I like the way he ran the power lines under the console and did not have to remove the tank. Nutz I have the Polk MM651's will they bolt right up in those pods?
