Trying to install mm652 in fairing
So I decided on the polk audio mm652 with the impression they would fit in my 2015 street glide special with no problem. They arrived today and they do fit the speaker pods but installing the pods back on the bike wont work, The mounting ring is alot thicker than the stock speakers and if you try to mount the speaker pod back onto the bike the front surround suspension part of the speaker will be squashed into the stock speaker mesh cover.
Iv looked around and see where people do the Pod mod and mount the speaker inside the pod. Right now the BT speaker brackets are out of the question. Will it hurt the sound or the speakers to mount them inside the pods?
Any suggestions from the audio pros?

So I decieded to mount the speakers inside the pods. To mount the speakers inside the pods was easy and took about a hour or so to do both. After installing the speakers inside the pod there is a gap between the speakers and the speaker grill so I used some round filler cord to take up the gap,necessary? I dont know but cant hurt. Im kinda hesitant to cut vent holes in the pods, are vents a must ? Ive read that some are putting in big vent holes and putting poly fill in the pods.
If Im not happy with the sound Ill remount the speakers on the outside and give boom grills a try
