I NEED HELP! Speakers all to big for batwing
Hi All,
I need some guidance. I have a vector batwing fairing for my switchback. It has 6x9 speaker openings but I cannot find a speaker that fits. I don't want to cut the fiberglass. None of them fit in from the front. Do I need to mount them from the inside? I think I can do thiat without to many issues, but then none of the grills sit flush. They all seem a bit to big. I could slide it down but then the bottom edge will be just a bit below the lowest edge of the fairing. Other option would be trying to grind the back top edge down of the grill so it fits at the top of the fairing ridge. Not sure that would be a challenge to get the contour right.
Thanks in advance.

I just put their fairing on my wife's sportster. It is a lot smaller than a regular aftermarket bat wing. I did have to grind out the inner fairing to get some 6.5's in there.tape it up and carefully make the hole larger.
If you mount them from inside the fairing you may be limited to what speaker fit as the depth may become a issue.

AWESOME!!!
The 4th set of speakers showed up today. They fit in the front side and will just need a little sanding on the top to go all the way in. It is almost flush without doing anything. If I use the extra ring I don't have to do anything. The grill also fits and has space all the way around the ring, so they look good on the fairing. These were also marine grade and came with sound damping mats. They are Polk DB692. I will post a pic after they are in.
Now I have to send back all the others. Thank god for free return shipping. LOL.
