I'm the cave man of the group but speakers move air. Some like to move more than others within their operating cavities.
Most of the speakers I used within the pods were getting snuffed out so I drilled a few (6) holes in each. Sound improved. Made the holes a little bigger, sound improved. Removed the pods and installed Dynamat and sound continued to get better.
Keep in mind that there are speakers that do like being in those pods so hopefully a few guys can chime.
Part 2 of this is the pain in the **** involved with taking the pods off every time u want to tinker with ur audio, be it a possible loose connection or trying new shix out. Getting kicked in the ***** is very close to the feeling I get when I record and replaced the pods. Plus I needed stitches on my knuckles after each R&R cycle.
Plus removing the pods opens up usable space for audio accessories like external crossovers and micro amps.
Better sound depending on the speaker, much better access, and more room for advanced shix are the primary reasons I can think of.
Not the end of the world if u don't want to pay the cash for the prackets, however be cognizant of the speakers desire to breathe just a bit.

I don’t think getting the pods off and on is that hard. Takes me about 5 minutes now to get a pod off. I have a mini 1/4 ratchet that hold 1/4 nut driver that works great getting the 3 dreaded bolts out.
But this forum has a way of getting me to spend more than I want,so the biketronics problably on my bike soon

Everyone's ears are different is probably the truest statement out there. That being said, I have Hertz HCX 165's in my fairing and tried them in the pods (that are ported) and tried the brackets. I removed the brackets and put them back in the pods. It sounds better in the pods and a little more mid-bass to me.
I thought about selling the brackets, but decided I better keep them for the next time. You just never know!!!

Has anyone who has used any kind of soundproofing like dynamat or similar material to insulate the inside of the fairing think its worth the cost? What about the sprayon types like DEi boom mat sound deadening spray?
I installed new amp and speakers,inside the pods, and I going to try the polyfill wrapped around the pod. Cant hurt its cheap.

It's going to depend on the speaker. If the installed speaker ends up sounding muddy then your only choice is to relieve the back pressure for the speaker to perform. Enclosure space more times than not is speaker specific. These pods are designed for the Boom speakers so you have to adjust accordingly.
NOW, that makes sense !! Thanks...
