Hi Kdfoster:

Go to the link below and click on the product picture. Your speakers should look like that if not then you must have a defective set.

Do the factory speakers work if you hook them back up? If they do you have something wired wrong or a problem with the speakers. To test the speakers take a small battery like 9v or aa and take a wire and hook from the battery to the speaker with polarity correct and you should hear a faint bump noise if you do the speakers are ok.Also try to skip over the crossovers and hook up directly to the polks upper or lower spades 1 at a time and see if all speakers work at a low volume if they do it could be the crossovers. Were these speakers new or used?

I appreciate all the help from you guys. I finally got some sound, but it wasn't as good or loud as the stock speakers. I got frustrated and put the stock speakers back in. It wasn't a lost cause because I got some good experience taking the fairing off and seeing how different things look inside. If I do something in the future, I'll just make sure I get the plug and play speakers. I don't know enough about speakers to know if the speakers or defective ,or not hooked up correct. Thanks again
