Speakers for new fairing
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.

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.

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

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.

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
