Biketronics 7.1 speakers
Ok, I spoke to Bill at Biketronics last night and he confirmed the release date for the 7.1 speakers with new brackets is 7/11.
Here is my dilemma, I have 14 LTD and want four speakers but none of Biketronics speakers fit in the rear pods and they have no plans to have one in the future. The reason Bill gave me was that magnet on their speakers are too big to fit in the pods. Does any one has a suggestion to what is a good set of speakers for the rear pods????

not on a 14 but previous years yes. I bought a tad bit larger diameter screws to use. Don't go too big otherwise you'll split the plastic posts.

Thanks Ultra, but just talking about the pia plastic enclosure that the front speaker screw into, had 3 holes on one side peel the plastic out as I took screws out to change speakers, now the screws won't tighten back into the plastic,,can I just move around the speaker and put new hole in the plastic ? Think I answered my own question . lol ,,I look at it this evening, thanks

Does anyone know if this system will work on the 2014 or will I have to piece one together?

My final set up was the Rockford Fosgate PBR 300x2 and a set of Kicker CS 6.75 and stuffed the pods with Fiber Fill. Very happy, lots of volume and bass. Running the amp on HP and brought the bass in with the Freq adj set on about 75 and the gain at 5.
Telling you it ROCKS! Really didnt need the Boom Grills, but I had them so I used them, I also used weather stripping around the speakers.

Did you not need the boom grills because your speakers weren't thick enough to hit the factory ones? I just ordered the PBR 300x2 and the infinity kappa 62.11i speakers. I am still uncertain if I will need the grills. I just don't want to get in a situation where I need them when everything gets here and its time to install.
