RE: Rear speakers on a classic
I put the HD speakers on mine. It gets rather pricey because not only do you need the speakers, you have to buy the wiring harness as well. But if you are going to add any of the other gizmos like the XM receiver, Cell phone adapter, Intercom or CB, then you have to have the harness anyway. The rear speakers are a PITA when you get on and off the bike, but I'm not sure where else you would mount them that would be a lot better. The HD speakers also integrate the controls that let your passenger change the station - not such a good idea always. Of course they do look the best....

Mt: Dragonfllyconcepts and Eglide Goodies sell speaker pods--their's seem to be identical and use 6.50" speakers. Hogtunes sells their own pods for 5.25" speakers--call Pez at Hogtunes and he'll fix you up. None of the pods has the holes/switches for the rear passenger controls found on the HD pods. Also, for much more money, HD sells pods that don't have the switches/contols also.
As for wiring, the right way to do it is to buy or fab the Ultra radio plug that goes into the second (and on a Classic, unused) connector on the back of the headunit since that's where the rear speaker outputs are; they are not in the Base Audio Connector already on your bike. Alternatively, you could simply splice the rear speaker leads to the front speaker leads, but you wouldn't have fade control.
I suggest you call Pez at Hog-tunes and talk with him about what you want to do; he's very, very helpful. As for the wiring issues, your best bet is to spend the 40 or so bucks for the HD 2007 Touring models service manual; it has great wiring diagrams for a project like you are considering.

RE: Rear speakers on a classic
Hogtunes ultra system comes with 2 speakers, 2 pods, amp, and wiring harness. Install was not a big deal. I did remove the fuel tank but it can be done by just lifting it up which saves the mess of removing the crossover hose (PITA).
