Default Speaker question

i have a 2013 Ultra limited and upgraded the fairing speakers. The rear speakers are useless with a passenger. The sound is blocked by passengers body(butt). I am not interested in the saddlebag lid system but was thinking about either Hogtunes tweeter pod or speakers for the lower fairings. I don't know if either would be beneficial for the passenger. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just added lowers and put Infinity speakers in them, they rock. I don't have rear speakers though, so I can't compare the two

talked to a guy at a local dealer for a little event they were having, that had JUST that set up! 4 polk in front, 2 polk in rear. he read where another guy hooked the lower fairing speakers to the rear channel. so really he had 4 speakers on the rear, 2 on the front. it was amped as well. not running off stock unit. it sounded pretty good with all 6 going, and he said when the touring pack speakers get butt muffled, you can't really tell with the other 4 still going.

I have the tour pak on a quick release and have only been hooking up the lights when I use the tour pak. i am looking at the Hogtunes kit for the lower fairing with the amp. $252 @ Amazon.com

I really like my lower speakers. Get CVO lower speaker pods and some good 6.5" coax speakers. Check out the audio section!
