I just put a set of their pro audio 6x5s in my bike, I like them, they're no diamond audio, but for the value they're really hard to best. Especially with them on sale now.

 

That looks like a massive frame that will be a challenge to get into a pod. Let us know how they sound!

Yea, I noticed that. Guaranteed it’s still better than stock haha

 

@Peter1003 I get your point. My buddy is on a fishing forum that similar to this one where people actually get along and he said a lot of people are starting to put them in their boats. They actually have a lot of good reviews.

My biggest concern is fitting it in the pod. I’ll order a set and see how difficult it is to get it to fit. If they fit, I’ll try them out and update everyone on how they sound. I’m not going for competition sound, just something decent I can hear on the highway

 

If those speakers are as pictured I seriously doubt they will fit in your bike. I agree 90% of the speakers out there sound better than OEM, but why not buy a set that at least looks like they may fit?

 

It's gonna be interesting seeing how they mount since they look to have a six point hole mount rather than the four point our bikes use.

 

those are good speakers , i have been using them for a couple years (wherever I can that is). Problem is…. They are oversized speakers. They are advertised as a 6.5 but are more like a 6.8, they have a big basket and face of the speaker is also huge(real thick). best Bang for your buck in my opinion. But they will not fit a 6.5 opening without modification.

 

To no surprise, they do not fit in the road glide fairing. I was looking for some sort of adapter to mount them higher so the magnet can fit but couldn’t find anything. Only saw a 5.25” to 6.5” adapter for pre-Rushmore bikes. I ended up selling to my buddy who recommended them and he’s going to use them in his boat.
I’ll either be getting Hertz or GZ yellow baskets instead

 

Check these out, I put the ferrite versions in mine and just needed to use a heat gun to warp the pods a bit. These would drop right in and they should give you quite a bit more than the Herty or GZ yellow baskets.

Thanks for the info @Vader225 Those look pretty dope! Do you know if they’re water resistant?

 

Technically they're not, but I've had mine playing in a tropical storm so I don't thing you'll have any issues. The way I saw it was I could buy 3 or 4 pairs of these for 1 set of the GZ's and they're going to be comparable in sound. They're rated at 150 watts rms and I've been running them at 200 watts without an issue.

 

I never heard of Skar Audio. Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered two and will let you guys know how they fit and sound.
