Reckless fairing (more pics 05/23)
Well I guess that's my only choice what don't you like about it?
my other option is to just make a plate to cover the hole and cut one to fit the radio

I thought my 5 1/4'' speakers would work too but no such luck even if I open the holes up there too big where the mount holes are and 5 inck Polks don't come with grills now to search for ones that will fit

The door is sloppy when you try to open it as it slides inside it will move from side to side and hang up and will not stay open. I had to open the holes for my 5 1/4" speakers but then they worked I used boss speakers, I think we all should have waited until after we got the fairing before we bought the other stuff but mine came out pretty good.

What sucks is there's 200 choices for 5 1/4'' speaker and like 2 for 5''
I wish I had known the 6 1/2'' fairing was coming I would have held off

You could always mount the speakers behind the inner fairing instead of inserting them through the speaker openings. Edit: My bad, didn't realize you had the 4 speaker model.

Yeah I thought of that but there no room for a gasket so that won't work
Do you have the huge opening too for the radio?

I could get the speakers to fit but the grilles are too big

I have a huge opening for the radio but it is solid glass so Ill cut when ready, I also have the 6x9 inner,,BUT may go with 6" round speakers and use the extra space for a few goodies :)
OFF to piant tomorrow,, Should be back in 3 weeks or so. He has a 2week wait,,Dropping it off early and giving him some $$ ,and he will work on prep work if there is time during the 2 weeks,so I may get it back early.. I have seen his work and I trust him with a few $$$ of mine :)

i'm kinda surprised noone has bought the fairing with the stereo installed...as far as I can tell its a good unit?
I would think that if purchased with the stereo in it, it would be securely mounted?? This is the option I am thinking about, since I'm not as talented as all ya'll :) |

I'm trying to decide if I want to enlarge my stereo opening to 8.5" x 3.25" so I can use the radio enclosure I already purchased. After considering my other options, it probably is the best way to mount the radio and protect it from the elements. The smoked cover pivots over the top of the radio, so there's no floppy door to contend with. I've already carefully measured and marked the inner fairing for the larger cutout. Now I'm working up the nerve to cut into it. I'm gonna think on it some more.
