I have the same CVO as you, so, yes.

I have a set in my lowers, but fair warning. The supplied grills won't work. The grills are designed for a flush install, not recessed like they are in the lowers. I ended up reusing my Polk grills which fit perfectly. See my sig pic.

I have the CVO which comes with the HD grills. I believe they will work.

I finally ordered the Kappas & the PBR300x2, can't wait for them to come in. Side note I emailed the guys at Aquatic A/V and they said the AQ-MP-5UBT-H should be out around May 15th. Now the question is if it's as good of a unit as it looks? The few reviews of the AQ-MP-5BT-H seem pretty positive.

Opened my box of Kappas and saw this. WTH!?!? Without fear of breaking it, it doesn't seem to want to stay in that hole. The other one is fine. Seems like the tweeter is on some type of rotating ring. Does the tweeter just screw back in or push back in or is it broke?

Awesome thanks, are you still running the harley amp? Did you disconnect the stock tweeters? I read the comments that these are better than polks, I loved my polks and SS amp in my 2010.

I have the Kappa's, Kenwood HU, PBR300x2, and I did the the Polyfil. I wrapped them once or twice loosely and it sounded good....last night I had the fairing off so I added another round of Polyfil. It truly sounds great now. I personally believe the speakers need the Audio setup options of a good HU to really work well. The Kenwood Audio options are huge and that is what helps wake up the Kappa's. For $100 I might order another set....just in case.

FYI I just ordered another set for $104 brand new from Sonic.

They are on a rotating disc so you can point the tweeters towards you when riding. I think you can just push the tweeters back into the hole, I would take a few pictures in case it doesn't work and you need to send them back with an explanation. Should work as long as the wires are not broken.
