I've not heard them myself but I've read good things about the PRV 6mb250, although that may have been because it's drop in. I would think the Crescendo un6.5 would work well back there. I guess it's really a big picture thing as usual, I.e. what does the rest of the system consist of.

These look like they cane on the bike.

these are cheap and do the job depending on speaker choice.

To help pitbull on his quest.....
I'm also curious as to what others are finding for tour pack pod speakers capable of enough volume to keep up with the rest of their system at freeway speeds.
Obviously it depends on what's in the fairing, but what are some of the options capable of above average volume, that will fit in the rear pods, with or without an adapter.
The 4 Mmats speaker system works well, but in order to balance them out, you still end up turning down the front speakers a little and leaving a bit of fairing volume on the table in order to hear the rear speakers. I've overcome the balance issue with a little bigger amp on the tour pack pods in the past.
What's everyone's go to choice for the tour pack?
We know the Mmats 601.cx sounds good, has plenty of volume, and fits with the vtwin speaker adapters.
I believe the Polk 652 mm fits with no adapter, but have never tried them, so hopefully someone else can chime in on their sound quality and volume capabilities.

That being said though, I have a set of Mmats 601.cx here that I'll be putting in the fairing this winter. In the back of my mind I guess, I was already pretty much planning on having to swap out the Polk's to Mmat's.
Will see if the Polk's will keep up with the Mmats or not? And yes...the Polk's do drop into (just have to clock them somewhat) the pre-Rushmore pods without a spacer...so that's nice.
I'm currently running a simple 4 speaker set up with the Stinger amp. Polk MM652's in the TP pods and Hertz HCX165's in the fairing. The Polk's sound good and keep up with the Hertz in the fairing just fine.
