you can always use a set of metra 5x7 to 6x9 adapters on the lids for a 6x9 replacement.  Just make sure to put a speaker in there that does NOT have a tweeter in the center of the woofer cone.  Water will inevitably (sooner or later) wind up in your voice coil ruining your investment.  BT just came out with a killer 6x9 kit for this and Polk also has a great 6x9 as well with the tweeter mounted to the bridge.

BT is biketronics?  I'm not sure which kit off metra I would get for my lids...

I'm waiting for the 5x7s.  Don't want to give up any space,,

hey Im new to this forum for pretty much this exact reason... do you have anymore detailed pictures of the install? like how much you need to trim on the speedo and tach buckets? or how to take the factory radio top bracket off? I would really appreciate the info if you had it... Maybe if you are up to it you could give me a call or shoot me an email.. I would be greatly appreciative if you could help me.. My email is mgrady21@gmail.com

Also, not sure how to correct this but my speakers "pop" when I turn the radio off and on.  I did connect it to pin 12 which I believe is the radio's remote on off for the amp....  Any thoughts from the "Audio Whiz Kids" out there???

I had my 2011 HD HK head unit modded by Iron Cross Audio for a low level line out (I'm assuming this is the same as the pre-amp mod you described having done). This mod was done to send a cleaner/clearer signal to my Hawg-Wired 'Six Pack' amp, for the best fidelity possible.

After checking, and rechecking my grounds, installation, etc., this pre-amp mod turned out to be the cause of my popping. I also experienced a modulating sound coming through the speakers when the rig was on, but the volume turned down (imagine if you could 'hear' your hazard lights, that's the speed/frequency of the sound).

I've since set the Hawg-Wired amp up using the stock HD HK high level out, and no more popping or extraneous sound. Didn't really notice a difference in fidelity between the two methods, either.

I discussed this problem, and solution, with both Hawg-Wired and Iron Cross, and nobody has an explanation. I should also mention that both companies bent over backward to help me find a fix, and I have no complaints with either vendor.

I'm also sure there are also plenty of people out there with this exact mod, and no issues. Maybe my Hawg-Wired amp just doesn't play well with this type of mod?

Good luck.

Thanks for answering me on this topic since I still have not solved it. I tapped into I believe is pin 12 which is maybe and orange and white wire off the HK radio. Not 100% positive since I'm not with the bike at the moment. Do you recall the pin # or wire color the high level out was?  Thanks. James

What are you tapping into pin 12 for, power?

[JMazz44]

No. Power is directly from the battery. It's the remote turn on that is tapped into the 12 pin.

So it took me a while to figure out a look for the inner fairing but I think I like how this turned out.  I had to find chrome tweeter housings for my HAT Unity tweeters since the black was dull and boring.  I then changed the speaker grills to a pair I purchased from Hawg Wired and put the Drag Specialties chrome speaker rings on them.  What do you all think?
