here is the equasion for figuringohms or resistance in series 2+4=6 ohm load
in parallel 1 devided 2 =.5 1 devided by 4 =.25 so .25+.5=.75 then devide 1 by .75 =1.33 ohms
so if you use a 2 & 4 ohm speaker in parallel your load should be1.33 ohms
if you use a 4 ohm & 4 ohm in parallel cut 4 in half so so it will be 2 ohms

If you wanted to have everything according to spec (2Ί) you could also connect the two speaker pairs (2 and 4Ί) in parallel, then connect a 2Ί resistor in series with the 2Ί speakers. That would put you at 2Ί, right?

Thanks for the input on the tweeters. I'm leaning toward the Memphis tweeters (aluminum cone), only because I see an Ebay seller offering 11 sets for $50 + $15 shipping per pair. I haven't seen the Polk's anywhere for less than about $90/pr.

LSU plays OSU in the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7th. SEC is doing well, 4-for-4 so far in bowl games--but Ark. is floundering against Mizzou at the moment. UT is handling Wisc. fairly well thru the 3rd quarter. More scores at the top of the hour. Stay tuned to this channel for complete sport coverage.

RE: "DIY MODS" WAY TO GO :)
I was just thinking about the speaker holes and thought if you had a standard, put them where the two guages go. That way if you were to remove them, you could put guages in, no holes! Also, for the guys who are worried about the fairing mount mirrors, this is a way to cover those holes if you remove the mirrors, if ya don't like the mirrors or bought a bike with them and wanna remove the mirrors!Vis versa, if you want to add tweeters and don't plan on mounting fairing mounted mirrors, borrow a mirror template and drill the holes for fairing mirrors. Then mount you tweeters. If you decide you don't like the tweeters remove them and install fairing mount mirrors, the holes are already there. Tweeters can come in handy! Just an idea..

Do you know for sure the tweeters will cover the holes or are you just thinking they will?

I'm one of those guys that wants to delete the fairing mount mirrors. I installed Wild1's 575 chubby bars and love them but, they really reduce the rear view visibility with the fairing mount mirrors. I've been trying to figure out something to cover the holes and I hope this is it.
