Default Focal KRC 165 Mounted in Pods

A quick question will i see a difference if i put a port in the pods or do they like to be air tight in the pods? I did use some strip caulk to seal the pods up after the mods to fit the vocals in the pods I also sealed the gap between the fairing and pod with strip caulk thanks in advance.

I'm thinking ur on a SGS Rushmore and if that's the case I would definitely get some O2 in there. You can either drill out one larger hole or just drill about 10 little holes with a metal / utility drill bit.

Yes it is a 2015 Street Glide Special so do the larger hole any specific spot or just pick a spot behind the speaker without cutting into the ribs.

U got it!!!!!! U could also stuff just a little batting in the base of the pod as well to eliminate some vibration and add just a little warmth. Just pull a little out of the OLs pillow, she will never know. If not, Walmart sells the small rolls for a couple bucks.

3" hole. Made a pretty decent difference to the good.
