Default Fairing Factory 8” Pods

Well I got them today. Did a super quick mock up. My first thoughts are damn they are big.
They will need a little work to make them sit flush on the outside edge. The grills are aweful so
I will need to find something else. It’s a big difference coming from my 6.5s that’s for sure.

Wow, those are huge! Might be rethinking adding those myself. Also seems a shame they don't fit better than that. Shouldn't have to do any mods to make them fit flush.

What speakers did you decide on?

I’m at a loss of what to do here as I have zero skills to fab my own. I also don’t think the Advanblacks pod is coming out anytime soon. Hate to spend $700 on DB but may have to

I vote for the DB, then the Beyma CX fit perfect!

Maybe? But, why waste time and effort to just eventually put the Beyma in?
