With the depth and size of the magnet on those speakers you will need a minimum of a half inch spacer to get those speakers to work in the rear pods

 

 

I have not ran into a problem using half inch spacers and those speakers in the past.
Never had to remove the rear controls either.

 

 

This is what I normally use

6.5" Speaker Spacer Auto Car Stereo Audio Adapter Holder 6.5 Inch 2 Pcs

 

I have a Rushmore tour pack with Hertz SV165 in the holes. I used the Vtwin audio adapters. They're functional as hell and look super clean instead of just adding spacers. They're a little over $100. Once you get them you'll notice the SV is just a little to wide for it. Take a rubber mallet and gently bend in the outside ring of the SV. It doesn't take much. Then they'll fit behind grilles on V Twin adapters.

 

you wouldn't happen to have a link for that would you?
