My GPS mount is on the fairing. Right next to the area where the Hawg Tweeter Pod is supposed to be mounted. And with the GPS in place, it's just 3/4" shy, as the tweeter pod tapers onto the fairing. My mount is on the far left flat area, right underneath the wind shield. I hope this make sense since I never figure out how to pose pics.
Basically I simply can't mount the Tweeter Pod with my current configuration. My question is since tweeter doesn't really needs an enclosure, other than cosmetic, can I just surface (less work) or even flush (more work) mount a set of tweeter onto the fairing where the pods is supposed to go?
Also, I don't really want to use a Ram-mount on the handle bar for cleaner look as well as when the GPS is mounted onto the bar, it blocks off the left speaker. Not to mention the 3 holes I drilled for the current mount on the fairing.
I already have a set of JL Audio XR tweeter (w/ X-over), maybe I can put it in good use. Just don't want to drill holes in the fairing just yet.
I don't like the bulk of the Tweeter Pods,so i'm going to flush mount my tweeters !!!
The ones I have from JL Audio has a thin angled mount allow me to aim the tweeter, they only stick out ~ 1" at the highest point. I might have a harder time trying to flush mount them since that part of the fairing is not perfectly flat, might have a gap on the trim ring. At least that's what showing when I turn the trim ring around and try to flush it onto the fairing.
I took out my voltage and air gauge and installed them in the fairing that way. I had to make spacer rings bc the tweeters are 1" and the gauges are 2 3/8"
