Default Best Lower Fairing 6.5 speaker Without mods

I know best is subjective but what are the better speakers that are a straight drop in for 6.5 lower fairing pods, I do not want to buy custom spacers and hack up the pod. I think i read somewhere Hertz and Mmats work.

The G2's and GZ's fit in the Advanblack lowers cubbies just fine. I believe the Mmats would too.

What’s the G2? I thought that GZ were too deep.

Moto G2's. They are OK for lowers, and very efficient, but tend to be too bright for the fairings. That said, I need to clarify. When I said they fit fine, they were with the generic Metra spacers, and Metra grills. Comes out great, they are inexpensive, and you don't even notice them. I did have to clock the GZ's a bit, but they did fit.

That said, as Jack mentioned, what amp are you thinking about?

Have links for the spacers and grills. Mmats and Advan black lowers.

Green Monster ,,,, IMO for the water cooled Harley lowers, these really perform well regardless of the amplifier being used ,, https://jmcorp.com/JM-ROKKER%C2%AE-X...rs_p_1408.html ,,,, price is pretty fair also if default discount is used on checkout.
