Default Speakers for rear pods

I have some Hogtunes rear pods on the way to add to my Classic (not originally equipped with rear speakers). I'm looking for opinions for 4 ohm budget friendly options to put in them. They must be 4 ohm, as they will be paralleled with another set. System consists of Sony MEX, Power Acoustic PN4 3000D, Biketronics 7.1's in the fairing and 6.5's in the lowers, and Pioneer TS6902's in the kids. Thoughts?

The Diamond Audio HXM65 is an option for the rear pods. 93.5 efficiency and a 2.18" mounting depth.

As well as the Alpine SPR-60. The SPR's are a little more budget friendly and a 2-5/16 mounting depth. They are not quite as efficient as the DA's

LOL!! You won't be disappointed! Not only that. Even though the spec is 60 watts RMS these speakers will take 150 watts all day and night and play down to 35hz. Pioneer engineered the hell out of that little speaker.

I'm convinced that somewhere along the line, "Gannicus" in greek mythology was the God of spending other peoples money.

I read your post and my head goes, "well I don't have a set of those on my shelf. maybe I should get some 'just in case' too"

Damn you Gannicus, greek god of spending other peoples money. Thor can keep his hammer and shield, your statue will have a 6x9 in one hand and a credit card in the other.

Ok Gann, now you have me curious. Does that speak fit in the TP pods without a spacer?
