Im using Sony 5 1/4" round Xplod speakers. They have a plastic cone and have performed pretty good this past summer.

I didn't use marine speakers in mine, and I used 6.5" good quality auto speakers, with a plastic cone. My best suggestion would be to check crutchfield.com or sonicelectronix.com. Both have a huge selection and user reviews which I find very helpful.

Speakers are one area you don't want to skimp on. Buy good ones and you will appreciate it.

I'm using Polk audio, marine certified one's

Here's another vote for the Polk DB speakers, and for crutchfield.com too. Been using (4) 61/2" Polk DB 650s. Two in the fairing, and two on the trunk for several years now, they still sound great.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but....
What kind of fairing did you get??

hammer · 12-27-2010, 02:11 PM

I have Polk Audio DB521s. They are marine certified. You can catch those on sale at Amazon.com right now at $48 a pair.

Man, Im buying the same fairing off Ebay. I didnt know they had 5" speakers, you would figure they would go with a more common size like 5-1/4"

+1 On the Polk Audios, great speakers !

hammer · 12-27-2010, 08:01 PM

5 or 5.25 makes very little difference. The original Aquatronics that came with my fairing are 5" and the Polk Audios are 5.25 and fit fine.

fltekdiver · 12-27-2010, 08:38 PM

If the 5-1/4" fit in the reckless fairing, I'm going to buy the Polk Audio. I had them ( 4 ) in my last fairing, and man, they sound great

fltekdiver · 12-27-2010, 10:36 PM

I just dropped a bid on their 4 speaker fairing on Ebay, and will be installing 5.25 speakers, I'll let you know how it goes, and if you get them in before me ( mine willnt even ship till next week for the fairing ) Please let me know how it goes, thanks !

Hey Guys, Reckless sells 5 inch speakers,black,crhome or black with a chrome ring? oh if you need the chrome plate for the front of the fairing than order one from reckless as the others (harley ) don't fit well! Yep been there :):)
