All you need are speaker adapters for the Polk 6.5's. other than getting adapters it's plug and play.

Not exactly plug and play, after ya get the adapters and speakers mounted you'll need to connect your speaker wires to the crossovers and mount the crossovers somewhere. Nothing hard or complicated but not really plug and play.

correct. plug your current speaker wire into the MM651's and you are set.

Don't forget the PolyFill! Check out the Audio section if you want any help w/ your install.

GL!

Might want to pick up some Velcro. I used Velcro to mount the crossovers to the top of the modules on the radio. Worked great.

One end of your crossovers will have 4 quick disconnects on them, each a different size that matches up to the connections on your polks. The other end is bare wire. Put a couple of quick disconnects on them and you can attach them to your factory speaker wires without having to cut or splice anything.

I'd like to make a suggestion to limit the issue I ran into. The quick connects that came with the kits did not seem to sit well (maybe from vibration) and I had to pull my fairing twice before I got smart. I highly recommend soldering the wires for a strong connection. Hope it helps
