Default infinity kappa 5 1/4

Any one use the infinity kappa five and a quarter inch 52.9i speakers? They say they are 2 ohm so id imagine they would work.

Yes, I use them in the rear. I use the Infinity Kappa 6.5" speakers in the front fairing with Dragonfly Cycle Concepts speaker rings. Yes, they are 2ohm. They are cheaper and better quality than most of the supposed "special motorcycle speakers" that most people here seem to think you need. They sound great and probably have twice to volume and five times the clarity of the stock speakers. Go for it and thank me later.

I had the Kappa's in my last RoadGlide fairing. More efficient and an improvement in sound quality over stock. Certainly a good choice with the stock head unit for the money spent.

I have some 2ohm Kappas in the front fairing.

Cant say they have "twice the volume" but they do sound better than the stock speakers.
Still have to crank the radio at freeway speeds.
