Default Infinity Kappas

Anyone out there using these speakers in their fairing? How do they fit and what is the wire come off the back of them?

There is an external crossover on the Infinity Kappas. That might be what you are referring to. They fit just fine. Several people here are running them. Personally I went with the Infinity Reference series. They were a little cheaper and IMO sound a little less harsh than the Kappas. If you have a Best Buy close to you go give them both a listen.

I'd like to add the Infiniti speakers as an upgrade to the fairing speakers in my 09 Street Glide. If I went to Best Buy, what size are they? The 5 1/4? I plan to put a detachable tour pak on in the spring and then add rear speakers. Can I go without an amp now and then get one when I add the rear speakers? It seems like I can from reading other posts, but I don't know anything about audio systems and I don't want to spend a lot experimenting. Thanks.

Yes the size you need is 5 1/4". But you can get them alot cheaper than Best Buy. Just go there to listen. I picked up mine thru Cartronix Plus.

As far as the rears I believe you will need an amp as well as the necessary wiring harness. You can run the fronts for now with no amp. I didn't bother with one because IMO this is a bike and I don't really need audiophile quality sound. I have that at home.

while you can run them without an amp, they are power hungry speakers. In order to get anywhere near the recommended power, you'll need an amp.

Will they sound better than the stock speakers without adding an amp?

I have the Kappas -- excellent speakers -- Infinity did an excellent job on both the reference and kappas -- you can put 6 1/2 kappas in the fairing -- it will take 1 hour extra to get them in there but they will work. Had the 6 1/2 in my SG -- now have the 5 1/4 and 6x9 in my RG.

+1 on best buy -- they have an excellent return policy
