My mom made liver that way. Stunk up the house. I'll skip all of it. Mexicans eat tripe for breakfast. It's called menudo. Italians call it trippa.

The infinity are a stainless wire mesh with a rubber mount. I have had mine in for over a year and ridden in plenty of downpours and they still look like new.

Just ordered a set to use on the front speakers, should have them in a week or so, hopefully it wont be too cold and I can put them on and try them. I have the POLK db521s in the back and front.

Forgive me if I missed it somewhere. Are the Infinity speakers drop in to the stock holes and mounts? I'll be following this one close and I'm looking for a lot more sound and quality out of mine. Thanks for the write up so far Ray. Keep the report coming!

The rear is a different story as there are some posts in the housing that will have to be removed, the posts are there for the speaker wires to be wrapped around so they are tight, you cannot put any speakers in there with the larger magnet as the magnet will butt up against the posts, easily removed with a dremel and cutting disc, and removal will not hurt the integrity of the housing.

The infinity's fit right into the stock mount. The hook-up to the infinities required extensins to be connected to the stock speaker wires. The extensions have the male spade connections on one end, about 1/4" of the insulation must be stripped off the other ends to be inserted into the "box" that is a part of the infinity wire, then set screws are tightened down onto the wire ends.

Thanks gents. Ray, I'll stick to solder connections. Just for future reference when installing taller bars on a Vaquero there are 37 wires to extend! Keep posting up on your findings Ray. I'll be paying close attention and ready to do another mod come Spring. I'm one of those loud obnoxious pipes short windshield guys too.

For anyone looking at the pucks, I just did the install and thought i would pass along a couple of tips, first the pucks will only fit the magnets on the stock speakers, the small ones, for aftermarket speakers you will have to just leave the pucks off. I put them at the bottom of the speaker enclosure, lots of room.
For the right side (sitting on the bike) you can connect the power to the cigarette lighter adapter, which is what I did. For the left side, you will see the two wires that connect to the fog light switch, the red one is the live when the ignition is on, that is the one you want to connect the red power to, the black I connected to the negative for the IPOD and aux connection, it is black so easy to spot. Both connections will give you power when the ignition is on, both for accessory and ignition. The orange wire I just connected to the black ground as per option 1 in the instructions. Overall they boost the sound quite nicely without any adjustments, as I am hard of hearing plus I have tinnitus, I may fiddle with the tone to give more treble, but I will do any adjustments after I have tried the speakers out. I only put the pucks on the front for now, and if they work out will probably get a set for the rear later on.

Took it for a spin today, the difference is quite noticeable, without any adjustment, better treble, and where before I had the volume at 15 it is now at 8. I got it mostly for the tone but they definitely work well. Now I have to see if the pucks will fit in the rear speaker housing it they are not mounted on the speaker, the rear has a lot less room. I may have to figure out some way to extend the wires so I can put the pucks in the trunk.
