Pretty sure the pods aren't the problem. I tried a few different spacers on my pods that didn't fit. You have the wrong grills for your lowers.
​​​​​​Your grills should fit into your lowers, so that the grill is pushing against your speaker, not just pushing on the surface of the pod
​​​​​​



I would just order up the right grills

The fairing is a better place for the Mmats. Love mine in the fairing.
Was there a grill similar to what I posted in my pictures that came with that chrome ring, and the lowers?

I went with the Metra pods. Not cheap. But I didn’t need to use a Lego set to make them work. I’ve tried the cheap ones you have. And then Hogworks. And finally someone suggested these. Worth every penny. And yes. They improved the sound. Speaker has the room to work. Was able to side by side the cheap pods versus these as a friend had the identical amp speaker combo.

Theyre 2 piece construction and you use 1/4” window seals around the back to seal it off.
