Stereo install help needed - shopping list?

I pieced together a stereo for my 2001 RGU but now have some questions about the small items.
The stereo consists of:
2 PBR 300x4 amps
2 Polk audio db 6x9 in Cycle sound lids
4 Polk audio db6.5 2 in fairing 2 in lowers
2 Polk audio db5.25 in tour pack pods

My questions
Does anyone know of a good weatherproof quick disconnect for the speakers
Which bass blocker should I run on the 5.25's will they fit in the pods with the speakers
Does anyone know of a good multiple amp wiring kit
Can anyone think of something I have forgotten

Thanks to all for the input

Good waterproof connectors can be had from either Deutsch or Delphi Weatherpak. JP cycles sells them, but you can get them much cheaper by searching on Ebay. A two terminal Delphi sells for about $3. I just ordered 4 of them for my bike. The factory connectors on your HD are Deutsch. They are more expensive and a bit moree complicated than the Delphi's.

My questions
Does anyone know of a good weatherproof quick disconnect for the speakers (As mentioned previously, Deutsch or Delphi Metrapak)
Which bass blocker should I run on the 5.25's will they fit in the pods with the speakers? (What's a "bass blocker"?)

Good luck with your project.

Thanks for the input, I forgot to list that I do have the adapter rings and grilles. I will search for the Delphi connectors today

The Bass Blockers are a passive inline crossover that eliminates certain frequencies. Since I am running the 5.25's and the 6x9's off the same amp I want to eliminate the bass going to them so I don't blow them.

For an excellent vendor of Deutsch connectors, and to see the product, try Batts Racing for the DT series Deutsch connectors:

For an excellent vendor of Delphi Metripak, and to see the product, try Ballenger Motorsports for the GT 150 series:

Drag also sells the Deutsch connectors, pins, sockets, etc.
