So, interesting question, and I actually did that first, but I had to disconnect my trunk speakers (which is super easy). The audio was significantly better from the front of the bike when I did this, BUT I was missing the full effect, so I added them to the trunk too (which was even easier than the front of the bike. I don't like riding with the trunk all the time, so I will go with the Powerband lids with 6 1/2 speakers. So when I ride with the trunk, I will have 6 speakers and without have 4. I like music when I am riding and so does my passenger. Anyway, the answer is yes, but you will give up the trunk speakers to get that effect unless you upgrade them too.
