Default JBL Speakers

Just received and installed the JBL speakers that GLIDEMAN posted on a couple of weeks ago. They are awesome !!!!!! If you hunt around on the net long enough ya can almost get them for half of the cost of the JM's with shipping figured in on both. Now that I have a pair in the fairing I wonder if they would fit the back pods on my 07 Ultra?????? Glideman did you try fitting them into the rear speaker pods??

I also installed JBL speakers in my 2008 FLHX after reading GLIDEMAN's post and love them.Thanks for the info on the speakers and the how to install directions and photos,GLIDEMAN.This made installing the speakers very easy.The speakers sound great even at high volumes and the tweeters are adjustable so you can aim them in you direction.Big improvement over stock!

Since we are on the subject, when you do install a Sirius unit on your bike, do you still need to use the Cigarette lighter plugin or can it be wired direct somehow? I would like a clean dash install without wires running all over the place.

Sorry, I put this in the wrong post.
