although parts of the description on this system are more aimed at riders with a 2 speaker setup, the system is well put together. The 6.5" speakers they use (RF) sound great, the amp is a great amp, the rear speakers however I think you should think about.

Here's what I would do.

Rockford PBR300x4 Amp Rockford PBR300x4 Amp
$144
Polk Audio MM651 speakers Polk Audio MM651 speakers
2 pair @ $133
Cycle Sounds 6.5" fairing speaker adapter rings $39


The Polk Audio speakers to my knowledge are the only 6.5" speakers that will drop right into the holes on the rear speaker pods without cutting them but you'll have to drill new mounting holes for the screws.
The amp will mount right on top of the radio without a problem. I would suggest some heavy duty velcro or doublestick tape (most people do this) but if you insist on having a bracket to mount the amp then email scott - ezzell141@comcast.net as he makes a bracket that's a lot cheaper than anyone else's. the wiring is very easy to do and you don't need a pre-fabbed wiring harness. There are lots of folks on here willing to walk you through the installation.

**EDIT**
I just noticed you have an 13' Ultra which means you have at a minimum, a CB module sitting on top of the stock radio now and maybe more depending on your configuration. If you want to keep the CB, you will need a bracket to relocate that below the radio so the amp can be mounted on top of the radio. Scott's bracket does this

Thanks for the info! I had no idea I would have to cut the rear speaker pods. I'm gonna do a little more research.

oh.. and although a lot of folks will fuss about the price of this, I think it's worth it in the fairing.

J&M makes an acoustical foam pad that attaches to the inside of your fairing which helps to increase bass response. The set (right and left) are about $45. I've personally tested this pad with the polk mm651 speakers and you definitely get more of a "punch" and tighter bass response with the pads.

no sir you do not. What I was saying is any 5.25" speaker will drop right in that rear speaker pod. My point was bigger is better when it comes to audio so if you get a 6.5" that will drop right in there as the Polk MM651s do, then why not go that route. There is no cutting of anything involved.

BAD INFO !!

You can't use the Polk Audio AA2651-A MM651 speakers with the RF amp. You have to use 4ohm speakers,.... & the POLKS aren't. The 4 channel RF amp isn't stable below 4ohm. Decent speakers,....but not with this amp.

just make sure you either get a 4 channel amp that will handle a 2 ohm load the alpine ktp-445U is a good one or get 2 seperate 2 ohm amps like the PBR300x2

Still can't believe i posted that.. I must have been drinking or sleepy!
