I would say they really compare to a high end pioneer, or ken wood, but focal still takes the cake for me.

FANNIN....
why are you not using the RF speakers grills?
is there a reason why you didnt paint the speaker boxes?
i am goint with the same speakers (fairing & lowers), just ordered the vented lowers & picked up the 6.5" boxes from the dealer wednesday. got the boxes painted (black) but after looking at the lip that they have i am thinking the RF grill might not work.
nice pics & info
thanks for your reply in advance.....Dave

I'm doing the same set set. Nice write-up and thanks for sharing.
Could you show how you run the lines? i'm not satisfied with how i run them and want to hide them more.
Second question, i'm not able now to use the speaker bracket with my speakers (RF) on Arc Audio adapter. Where i did go wrong?

I guess I should have put why I'm not using the RF grills... They don't fit! They're to big to fit recessed. So I was going to try and put them on the outside of the the box, but no go, there's no way to secure the speakers if you use the grills because theres a gap between the speaker and the grill.
I was going to have them painted but I think I'm going to wait until i have some other things to paint (stretched bags, fender etc)

I ran into the same issue when I installed the Infinty Reference speakesrs and bought some spacers at the local Ace hardware store--not a big deal at all.

Again, props to fanin for a great thread. You can try to shape the grilles from the aftermarket vendor to fit the openings of the CVO speaker boxes.
