Default Need advice on pod speakers

I have a biketronics BT2180 amp and BT7P1PRO speakers for the front. I have stock pods in the back. I'm running a Kenwood receiver KMR-M318BT but I'm thinking of upgrading that as well. What speakers should I run in the rear pods and should I add an amp for the pods? It's a 2006 Electra Glide. Thanks

On a budget. Get these:

If you have a little more money to spend. Get these:

The Pioneers will drop right in. The AD's will need a half inch spacer.
Don't need another amp. You can run all four speakers in parallel with the 2180.

I got the AD speakers but now I'm having problems finding speaker adaptors that will fit. Any suggestions? Thanks

So maybe I missed something but isn't that link for adapters for the fairing, not spacers for the rear pod?
