Don't see a lot on here about them!
Are they as good in the pods as they are in the faring??
Im going to use the 7.1 in the faring arc Moto 602 in my lowers
and the BT4180 amp

Just trying to decide what to do on the rear!!

They actually sound better, its a nice box for speakers. They are a little large and I am not completely happy with the fit but I am very picky. The finish is excellent. The issue with the fit is they warp the tour pak wall enough to make the fit of the tour pak top cover a little tight. I'm going to put some washers on the three mounting bolts between the pods and the tour pak tomorrow. I think decreasing the contact area of the pod to the tour pak from being two not so flat surfaces trying to mate together to only contacting at three points will relieve the stress. Hope this makes sense.

mine fit perfectly with the exception of the saddlebag lids hitting the bottom of them when opening. are you experiencing this as well?

aside from that, they rock!

Yes although I can open them without hitting the pods but its not the natural way I've always opened them. My bags are always loaded, or overloaded, with wet and cold riding gear for two people extending over the top of the bags into the lids but I can open the lids without hitting the pods. It won't cause any issues with paint or pin striping. Those speakers will have my ole lady rocking so it's cool.

They are well made, wiring harness is nice and each speaker unplugs from the harness supplied. Plugs are nice too. Wires are in a black tube that looks like heat shrink not shrunk. It could be a few inches longer but worked out fine.
