Default Speaker help

I need 5.25 in speakers to go into my fairing. Now the question is how do i make speakers work without an amp or receiver? I wanna use my phone bluetooth or aux to get tunes while i ride. So speakers themselves need to be hooked up to the battery? Or do the speakers just get plugged direct to the phone for music? Im new to stereos thanks for ur help

Apetterez, I have looked and looked to try and find you an answer for your problem. I haven't found any self contained powered speakers that would work in your fairing. You are going to need to figure out a way to power/amplify them, your phone alone won't have the juice to do that. Do you have saddlebags on the bike or any kind of storage area? Can you post a pic of your bike and the fairing so people have an idea of what you are working with?

Even if you used powered speakers, you would still need a Bluetooth controller preamp. Just get a class D amp with BT onboard.

Just one example:
