I'd like to consider protecting the 8" white polypropylene cone with a speaker grille. Have Yamaha considered this? How easy wd it be to attach?

If you want stereo speakers, buy some. As studio monitors, transient noise and harmonic distortion is minimized in part by their lack of driver covers "speaker grill"s. I do not see any connectors for covers. If you already have them I suggest you return them for a speaker that meets your taste or use nothing more than adhesive hook and loop to attach covers so as to not reduce their resale value by compromising their acoustical integrity.

I'm using these stands and securing the speaker with the double sided tape to the base, seems to be working well for me. You can also try using a long length of black twist tie and securing it around the middle.

Rockford makes grills for that require you to remove the cone harness put te grill over the cone and reattach. Not to much of a big deal. I prefer to buy an oversized grill like a 14 or 15" and attach to the actual enclosure with double sided Velcro. In regard to the amp, if the rms of your 1100 is close to or exactly the rms of these sub woofers (Rockford 10 r1) which is 600 your good. Check the specs on your amp bc you don't want to go too much below or about the rms of your subs. Personally I ise an alpine http://wwv.crutchfield.com/p_500MRPM500/Alpine-MRP-M500.html

I really don't know but being me, If the unit fits I'd make it happen. More power with the right speakers to here over the motor, I would go for it.When I mounted it I made my own mount to install the box. I have it on a motorcycle, so to keep the wires some what hidden I add holes in the bottom. I've driven in the rain and had it sit out side all night in the rain (that sucked) no problems. Good luck!

I bought the SANUS SYSTEMS BF-31B Wood Speaker Stands for the fronts and the backs. They work fine as along as you do not have any kids running around. The front speakers as you know are very top heavy. I bought some Quakehold! 88111 Museum Putty and put it in all 4 corners on the stands just for a little reassurance. So far everything is working well. The stand have spikes on the bottom and little felt pads which are nice additions. Let me know what you end up doing.

I was able to use some epoxy to hold them to the stock location. You will need to cut the original wire harness and splice the wires together, but it is not hard if you have some experience with speaker wiring.

Also don't forget to stuff or line your box with poly-fill (I pulled the stuffing out of my pillows). It gives it a more FULL sound. I used 50% off the box with the poly stuff. On the size of the box I was limited on space in my family SUV. My JL 10" sub was too deep for the box... So I built a 1" ring wood collar riser to seat my speaker screws on. It gave enough clearance in the back of speaker to fit :) Sounds Great!!!If you want deeper base use bigger box if u have the room.Dont forget to stuff it...or you could port. Try more then less stuffing, play around with it, have fun! Also don't forget to stuff or line your box with poly-fill (I pulled the stuffing out of my pillows). It gives it a more FULL sound.

yes, you need to just solder/heat shrink, or use heat shrink butt connectors and use the Yamaha connector...

Get yourself some Blu Tack picture mounting putty. Make four pea size balls and put one on each corner of the stand. Put your speaker and the stand and press down FIRMLY. The tack will keep your speakers on the stand with the ability to remove as needed. Just pull speaker off, re-roll balls, do the same thing. No mess, no glue and pretty firmly mounted. The stand of this weight would fall before the speaker came off. I did this with metal stand filled with shot and it would tip those so that should give you a pretty good idea of how well it will hold WITHOUT damaging your finish.

Don't know if this helps, but I used good sized wire ties to attach it to my 2013 Yamaha Grizzly. If you put enough on it, you can pick up the back of your machine with the rack. Wire ties are quiet, tighten up with ease, wont scratch anything, and are cheaper than U bolts. If there's holes in your rack, you should have no problem tying it down securely.

The stands allow for four screws to be secured on the bottom in the corners. Not sure how that lines up to your speaker dimensions. There's also the option Joe listed already as well

I made a wood board plate for the bottom of the speakers and painted them black. Then i screwed the wood board right to the bottom of the speakers. I mounted the tripod Top Mounting Plate (" T " Bracket) to the wood board. My Pro Line LS-T2BK Speaker Monitor Tripod Stands hold the speakers just fine!! You just have to do a little engineering. Just make sure your hardware is not to long. You want to go into the speaker cabinet not thru it.

My intrepid had a plug that the stock speakers plugged into. I had to cut the plug and solder the wires, but you could attach them without soldering

I think so, my speakers have 5" cones and easily fit on top of one set of foam, there are four sets per package.

Speakers DO NOT come with covers and no provisions to put covers on unless they sell a cover that snaps over the whole face of the speaker. The subwoofer is covered with a mesh, but that is all. They say that the cones are made with a type of Kevlar or something like it to resist cuts.

I have Yamaha speakers and they attach with no problems. As long as the speakers themselves have mounting holes on the back you should be fine.

No, I used a double sided foam tape. From 3M, the foam seperates the speakers from the stands and isolates while also providing a very strong adhesive.
