I just bought the Polk speakers and installed in only an hour, the sound is much improved. Video was helpful to.
If I am not mistaken we have an amp in the front and one in the rear for the RM
I just installed a pair of really good quality speakers in my Chieftain. The original speakers vibrated like crazy. I put in JL Audio C2 525 X they are superb. Great tweeter and mid range and no woofer vibration like the original equipment. Took a little bit of enlarging the installation holes but overall easy installation. Also put on a short flex antenna and reception is excellent
Got any pics of the modification and/or the final result?
Did not take any pics but the mod is exactly the same same the polk audio mod
Oh ok, I thought I read that you had to enlarge a hole. The DBs were a direct drop in, no cutting or anything. Also, those aren't marine speakers. How are they against a washing or rain? I know guys that have just put car speakers in the batwing and were happy, but they were owned by fair weather riders. I am not. I do draw the line at thunderstorms though. [dead]
The db are "marine certified". I guess that means they can take a splash but perhaps not long term harsh saltwater environment, idk. The MM series are 2.7 ohm speakers but they said they are compatible with 4 ohm amplifiers right on the box. They would clip the Indian factory amp at even a moderate level. They were a perfect fit and they sounded awesome. Since I havnt found a "powersports" amp that is 2 ohm, I returned them and got the db 5.25. They will do for now i guess. I was just enquiring to find out if the JL speakers would fit the bill. I'll bet they sound awesome as everything JL I've heard, does.
They are car speakers but there is no problems with them. I never direct hard spray water at the fairing under any condition. When I park it and expect rain I cover the instrument cluster and the speakers with plastic anyway
