f6b speaker and amp upgrade

[Jimmytee]

Cool, you added a jet pack to your B !!! How do they sound ?

I think if I were going to have to put speakers back there, I'd prefer mounting something like this.Attachment 15905

Uh... That's a Goldwing. Lol I don't ride two up so I don't want the throne and I generally hate the look of trunks.

You have to trim the 6.5" polk bezels. Others have done it successfully on both F6B's and Wings.

They bottom out at least a 1/2" if not more, and it seemed they were way to big to fit in the holes even if somehow you could cut up the speaker cradle.

Does anyone have some pics or more guidance? I bought the 5 1/4, but would much rather get the 6.5 working. It seemed I would have to really cut up the speaker beyond useable to make it fit.

We are both talking about the Polk 6.5 MM 6501 component series, right?

The Polk 6.5's should come with spacers that rise the speaker a bit so they don't bottom out. Both the spacers and speaker bezels need to be trimmed. There are a few threads here about it.

Ok, thank you for the post. I can see now I just need to see the differences between the mm651 and the mm6501, if you have any knowledge to share, much appreciated.

thanks!

Thanks, the second thread I had read, the first was new. thanks! I'm still confused.. So use the riser that comes with it, and trim what exactly? the riser I read they used the old speaker to trim and that was too much. Ok, so what needs cut off it to fit?

I can make a template of the opening on the bike and then overlay the riser. It seemed someone was saying you needed another 1/8" additional? would a ABS suffice? Or anther way to ask this, what EXACTLY needs cut off the speaker itself? I'm nervous about ruining the integrity of it.. does anyone have photos, or can use the photos of the other thread with the old a new speakers side by side, explain or draw what needs trimmed where? is is JUST the depth that needs trimmed?

Sorry for the confusing questions. I was just laid off and I am scrambling to get medical coverage, return tons of things that I can so I can eat. These speakers are already tweaked tweeters, so they can't be returned. i HAVE to have this working so I have something good to look forward to.

thanks in advance, and sorry for asking for more of your knowledge / experience. I will post this on this other thread

What speakers tubes did you use? And what did they mount them too on the back of the bike?

I put these on a 3 or 4 weeks ago. Sound amazingly clear
