18bklr, by the way, the hog tunes tweeter pod uses the same holes you'd drill in the inner fairing to install harleys dash pad, so that's not a big deal at all. the template is the perfect guide for drilling the holes. and a no brainer as everything is plug and play with the hog tunes tweeters. i'll likely swap out the stock main speakers for something a bit more efficient when i get bored.

i'm using the hogtunes tweeter pod in my streetglide. it's an easy install and looks like it belongs there rather than an add on. it really improved the treble/highs. i don't like the idea of running an amp, that's just something else that can go wrong i figure. you will not get the booming bass out of a bike stereo, but then again, who would want to sound like you're driving a 92 corolla with 12's and huge amps that rattle every plastic piece of the car.

I'm sure I'll eventually get something installed in there for it.

I had some 4 ohm alpine components powered by a 2 ohm ARC amp and didn' think they sounded all that great. I changed those out to the J&M 7.25's which are 2 ohm and it sounds a whole lot different.
As far as water, I believe unless you have that outer fairing totally sealed up to the inner fairing, water will find it's way in there. If your worried about that, I suggest you find some marine speakers instead. Since you got those Pioneers for free, I would just run those until something happens.
I have some type of insulation in my fairing and really can't tell the difference from when I didn't. You will find some people here that swear by it. If you end up purchasing the J&M's, they come with some insulation and you might as well try it out since they come with it. I didn't install mine because I already had something in there before I got the J&M's.
