Default Rear Pod Speaker Upgrade
I haven't been in the audio section in awhile and I'm looking to upgrade my rear pod speakers. I'm currently running the BT 7.1's, but looking I'm for something more. Any suggestions? My budget is around $300 and I'm using a SS 4.1000. Thanks in advance...Dave

Yep, that is correct, I'm running the 7.1 pros in the fairing. The rear speakers don't match well with the front speakers and I'm trying to get something a little better sounding to the ears...

we use the AD CX62's back there with a small spacer. They'll keep up with the pros all day.

I don't think he'll need a spacer with the June's pods. Pretty sure that's what he's got if he's got 7.1's in the rear.
I'm searching for a speaker as well that will take advantage of the larger pods.

Will I need a spacer for the AD's? Or is there another speaker that will fit in the BT pods? Thanks for the help on this!

measure the depth from the back of the speaker mounting rim to the bottom of the magnet. anything within that measurement will fit without a spacer.
