Just wanted to ask...what speakers are you guys running in the rear pods? I've asked before and didn't really get much in the way of answers. I know the Infinity fits with a spacer ring...any decent speakers that will fit in there without using a spacer? I don't want to buy stock Harley stuff. Thanks!

polyfill and flash
Ok I have read through this thread and purchased my audio upgrade. RF PBR300x2, CS DSP(magic box)& wiring kit and Infinity Kappa 6.5 62.11i speakers. I still don't know if I need a dealer flash since I have the magic box and what is the verdict on filling the pods with polyfill? Thanks in advance.

Hey
It's the age-old question which flash to make this infotainment system work properly.I have a 2014 limited with 2 Hawg Wired amps and 4 hawg wired speakers. I had a hawg wired amp and speakers on my 2012 street glide and that thing rocks..but on the 2014 it is so sad...Very disappointed with it.. . I have been told that it is all about the new system setup. I would appreciate any help from y'all. . Thanks

polyfil is a requirement on all of my installs regardless of whether folks understand it's intended use.
Do not wrap speakers in pods or lowers. 1 thin layer laid inside the pod/lower is all that's needed.

Hey guys,I'm new here but did read all 123 pages..
I've got a 14 limited...looking to bump up my audio..
Likely go with 2 magic boxes and skip any flash problems
2 questions
Pros and cons of 2 pbr300x2 vs 1 pbr300x4
And.
If I'm using kicker cs674s in the rear..
Is there any reason to use the infinity Kappa's In the front instead of cs674s?

I would not drill holes in these pods. remove the speakers and loosely fit the bottom portion of the pod with polyfil.
If you must drill holes, I would use an epoxy to seal them back up when done

Ok no holes. The next time I have the pods off I'll add some polyfil.
