Default What will i need for install

I am purchasing these speakers (Focal Polyglass 165 CVX 6.5-Inch Coaxial Speaker Kit) and would like to know if im going to need an adapter kit / mount kit to install speakers. If so part number/ name and where to purchase it.. Install will be on 2011 SG. I will be purchasing a RF PBR300X4 Punch amp to go with it.


Thanks

Yes you will need adapters. Arc Audio makes nice ones.

Throttle up are the ones I used.

Do I need an amp to run the speakers with the stock radio. Do I need to wait until I buy the amp and install.

Thanks just ain't no stereo guy

I haven't looked up the specs on your speakers, but out of curiousity, do you plan on adding more speakers later, if not, why not buy the RF 300x2? More power, 2 ohm stable, same price.

saddle bag speakers down the road. Just didnt know if I could run the HD factory head unit without hurting the speakers without an amp. The speakers are 4ohm so I was thinking I need a 4 channel amp. Thanks
