Default 13 limited rear pods

What is a good speaker to fit in the rear pods of a 13 limited without spacers? I'm running a as pn4.520 amp. Everything I found was about 6.5" speakers but I don't want to lose the space

What do you mean "lose the space"? The spacer move the speakers out. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything about space.
6.5's are going to give you the best speaker for sound and will offer way more options than the 5.25's.

I want to keep my wife as comfortable as possible so I don't want the speakers sticking out to far in passenger area or is that not really an issue?

I will let a few others chime in here as I don't have an Ultra but I don't think I have ever heard anyone even mention it in the past.

Hands down the Polk MM651's sound the best back there for a drop in. Just need to mount the crossovers under the black leather flap on the tour pak.
