    A solution for those of you who wore out the oem rubber backed speaker nuts or simply pushed them off like I did during my many surgeries.

    Metal fender clip nuts in combination with drywall anchors work perfectly.

    Both are available at Ace.

    Just ordered a pair.

    Ordered the foam baffles also. I wonder will fit or make any difference in the fairing.

    Not much room in the speaker recession for foam baffles.

    The speaker holes line up. The connectors fit. Just have to address the width @ 9 and 3 (cut or bend).

    Remember to install speakers upside down (tweeter on left, midrange on the right). They won't fit otherwise.

    Speaker connections

    I have the new speakers, but have not started the replacement yet. Can somebody who has just gone from stock to the 638's tell me what type of connector is required? Are they just "plug and play" or do you have to modify either the harness or new speaker connection? I just want to have everything I need before I get started... I'm definitely not good with "wiring" issues. Last time I installed an aftermarket cd player in a little Honda, the subsequent owner (a close friend) experienced an electrical fire
