Product Information

The Polaris Slingshot Front & Rear Facing Headrest Pods for 4x 6.5 Speakers are durable Polyethylene headrest pods designed by DS18 to maximize sound in your Polaris Slingshot vehicle. These pods allow you to mount two 6.5 speakers facing forward and back on each side, providing your stereo system with the sound quality it deserves. The pods come in pairs for the driver and passenger side and are easy to install using the factory bolts that fit directly into place. The speaker parameters are as follows:
