Mabbett Rear Speaker pods fit is horrible

[Doubleajaybrock]

installed these on my 2 door and the fit is less than stellar. Could not even reuse the the factory lower bolt.

Aghast, I am.

Unless they have another product, their listing says it's for the 4-door only and won't fit the 2-door

No, I have them on my Bronco and the sport bar bracket is different for the four-door, but mine still look like this. I'm going to work up a solution when I have more free time.

Return them and buy yourself the Metra pods – there's no fitment issues with those.

I just received the Metra’s today and they look far superior. I just installed Kilmat in them and with transfer over the speakers tomorrow evening.

According to their instructions that came with it, you used the supplied brackets and cylindrical spacers on the 2 doors.

Have them in my 2 dr. I just cut about 1/4” from bushings and retained factory bolt.

I'm just doing this from memory since I installed these several weeks ago. But the 4 door doesn't require the use of the included brackets. But the 2 door your suppose to use the included brackets.

I kept the OEM pods and installed Morel 4" Tempo Ultras in my 2 door because I didn't want to obstruct my rear view and wanted to keep the OEM look. The 4" Morels sound great and I actually had to adjust the bass down after installing the Morels because they provide way more bass than the stock speakers.

Is that with the stock system?

Yes,

Yes, It's the stock B&O system. I replaced the 3 dash speakers and the 2 rear pod speakers with Morel Tempo Ultra 4" speakers. I did the rear pods first and then had a listen and was surprised how much better it sounded with the new 4" speakers in the pods. But for the non-B&O system, I understand you have to do Forscan changes to get full range sound to the pods.

Thanks !

Just installed the Metra pods and they are so much of a nicer fit.

Interesting. Perhaps they changed the design in the last year. I have them installed with some 6.5s and they fit fine. Only issue I had is needing a spacer for the seat belt.

I don’t have any issues with mine from Mabbett. Go figure. I have a four door Bronco though.
