There is a TON of room for mounting fairing speakers. I had to use 2 of the 1" spacers , so that I could attach my tweeters to my Boston Acoustics, and still got the clamshell on.
My speakers, along with the spacers set REALLY deep.
What did you have in mind ??

These are my first choice with the Polk 6501's being my second choice.

The weight, at 6.5 pounds each, also sounds like a potential problem.
For the money, and problems, I think that a better option can be easily found.
These speakers were released a few years ago, and seem as if almost everyone has discontinued them. FWIW
Good luck with whatever you decide

holy crap! can you say broken inner fairing screw mounts? remember there are only 3 screw mounts on the adapter rings to secure themselves to the inner fairing and those screw mounts are less than 1/2" in depth. Then the speakers will screw to the adapter rings.

my thoughts on tweeter pods are;
if you don't have them already installed, then don't install them until you get the upgraded speakers installed. You may just find you don't need them therefore no holes in your fairing.
if you have them installed, tieing them to the head unit is perfectly fine however I'd suggest just connecting them with your front speakers to the amp. The way tweeters are designed, you'll not have to worry about impedance/ohm loads because they won't affect the load the amp sees.

Your knowledge has been extremely helpful.
