Mine were about $100 on sale- adapter rings $15.
these speakers are more efficient than most and will give more sound per watt than most.
a "watt" rating on a speaker is how much power they can consume- it has nothing to do with how much sound they put out

Couple of "newbie" audio questions Mike......
Are these Infinity Kappa 62.11 speakers water resistant/proof? Or not a big deal if not?
Are you guys replacing the rear speakers as well, or just front fairing? If yes, do you go stock size or can 6.5" be used as well?

For a stock head, look for resistance (2 ohm). Then look for a higher number in the "efficiency" category. That is how much sound a speaker will put out with 1 watt at 1 meter. A speaker with an efficiency rating of 93db will be far louder at the same power level than a speaker with 88db. Polk makes some efficient speakers.
