Here's something I ran across after adding Kappa's to the lowers. The supplied grills won't work, and you'll have to add a different set.

 

Joe-

You want to get these "vented" for your 2012. Great quality and the price is right. As John said you will have to get the Harley Davidson CVO grills from Kutter Harley Davidson because the kappa grills won't fit. The part number for the grills is 76000065.

Here are the lower pods:

That all makes sense to me. And the price difference between the 1000 and the 520 is really only a few bucks.

 

Is there a preferred wiring kit for all of this?

 

Boss 8 gauge wiring kit or the Rockford Fosgate Kit. I always recommend the Boss kit because it's much cheaper and comes with an inline fuse.

 

After a lot of thought I'm going with the PBR300x2 and the Kappa's. That will sound much better then the Hogtune I have now and I'll still have FM. I've decided to go 2 channel only because I live in Florida and only use the lowers during our short winter. So this will save me a lot of money and sound great.

Thank you all for helping me with this upgrade.
Peace,
SJ

 

Ok, the amp and speakers are all in and the sound is very loud and very clear. I don't see how you can beat this system for the price. The speakers even dropped to $104 The amp was $149

I can say the wiring kit is a huge waste of money. For $29 bucks I basically got a power cable. The kit has a very short black ground wire and a written statement saying on motorcycles you must ground to the battery.

No way can you reach the battery with the supplied ground cable. The rest of the kit is a few zip ties and wiring connectors, So I just went out and got some 10 gauge black wire and used that.

Thank you all who helped me figure out this up grade.

 

Enjoy your new system Joe!!

 

The new system is working nicely. I do have another question. I have a hogtune tweeter bar from the system I removed. Would there be any harm adding that into the new system, which is a PBR300x2 and a pair of Kappa's ?

 

If you use the tweeter bar just power it up with the head unit.I don't think you will need it as the KAPPAS have some pretty good highs
