From what I hear, the only option is to grind off those ears and make 'em round. I'm frankly shocked with the biker interest that PRV hasn't come up with a more traditional frame for these things.

Be SURE to tape the entire speaker before cutting. One small fragment in the wrong spot will destroy it quick.

Tape the entire speaker up before hand. I lopped a big portion off with a jigsaw then finished with a flap disc taking my time due to the fact that they got warm in a hurry. You got it brother!!!!
