The big brown truck was here today and dropped off some goodies. I must say, these new speaker pods look to be far better quality than any of the other pods that I've bought from SSV Works. I decided to ditch the Fosgate speakers that I have and get four of the Polk MM651UM speakers. I read about them here The Best Marine Speakers of 2017 | Top Ten Reviews and we all know that if its on the net it must be true. I did find one flaw with the new pods but I'm sure a couple of holes with the drill can add some drainage.
Yes, these SSV pods are being mfg'd by a new factory. They're far nicer than the current SSV front and side pods. New SSV front pods are coming later this year as well, along with some other goodies including full plug n play stereo integrations.
