[QUOTE="Romans5.8, post: 7923214, member: 645790"] The only options with this limited mounting setup are what I listed. Components won't work either because there really isn't anywhere to mount the tweeter(s) and there are not many options for marine grade component setups. And again 6.5 is not an option, only 6x9 and 5.25. I know a 6.5 can be mounted with a plate inside a 6x9 mount but looks are a concern here. Finally, I'm really not worried about bass. Really not. It won't happen no matter what I run. If I couldn't hear bass out of a 3 sub system I won't hear bass out of any speakers. By the way I really appreciate the help and the dialog. Here's a picture of a similar fairing (hopefully, wasn't letting me post pictures before); [IMG]http://www.tsukayu.com/web%20photos/DetachableFairing%20with%206x9%20speakers/VN900/bikeNbags%20003.JPG[/IMG] That's (obviously) the 6x9 version. I'm pretty limited on what I can do with that, because vibrations and the like can cause it to crack if I start putting more holes in the inner fairing liner, so a component system or modifying the fairing to fit a 6.5" speaker are out of the question. (Plus, modifying 6x9 cutouts to fit a 6.5" speaker will look bad there, and that is a concern). So, it's between what's pictured above, And this; [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Harley-batwing-Detachable-fairing-for-Yamaha-1600-1700-Roadstar-Road-Star-5-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/%24(KGrHqJ,!p!F!QSW(DJbBQQs-B!Viw~~60_57.JPG[/IMG] (Although obviously that one is unpainted and unequipped, but you get the idea). And yes there is 'room' to bore that out to run 6.5" speakers but, there is a need for some strength there to prevent cracking over time due to vibrations and shock. (If I hit a bump, that thing is gonna feel it!) [/QUOTE]
