Do a search there's plenty of good info on this. To start look at a set of CVO speaker pods and a good 6.5 inch speaker.

Get the CVO pods. I would not try to convert your current lowers. Just my opinion.

Friend has the HogTunes in his lowers on his Ultra. They boom and nice sound. He also has the Big Ultra Kit and Tweeter pod. Ended up at least 3 more of us got the Big Ultra and Tweeter Pod. Love it with my iPod!

I have the Fairing Factory 6.5" boxes in my non-vented lowers. They need a little work to fit/look good but work fine.

Hmm what sort of "work" I have 00's fairing lowers & see no need for vents but want lower speakers there because I never use them for storage.
