GEEZ this Audio is dangerous to the wallet. SO most is shipped, but expect lids next week. That is when I will tear down my bike. You can PM me if you have any interest.

Be very careful of viewing this Audio section it leads you too the dark side quickly LOL. Ride hard, be safe
The big question is, what are you putting in those lids? I'm still looking for the Holly Grail of speaker lids.
The rabbit hole is more like a bottomless pit, lol.
I swore I was never putting anything in my bags, and then I ended up with JL 8.8" in my lids.
I swore I was never putting any amps in my tour pack, then I ran out of room in my fairing, and 1 small, itty, bitty little amp for my tour pack speakers crawled in there to hide, lol.

Ground Zero 8 " GZCK 200XSPL (yellow basket)
Diamond Audio Short Throat Horn Tweeter (M1SRT)

I won't claim anything until it's in and done. But believe I will end up very happy. Again will do a complete update when project is done in a fresh thread.

If you look at the reviews, mine is the one where that amp blew up in one week of use. I wanted the Stinger, but the cost was $500 CDN at the time, so I ended up picking up a Focal 4.350 for $300 from a local shop that does a lot of marine and bike installs. It powers my (4) Polk MM652s plenty loud enough for me to hear while cruising the highway. https://www.focal.com/en/car-audio/c...s/fds/fds-4350

Our prices here in Canada suck. I've just resorted to the fact that it's cheaper to order my gear from the US.
Had the last few Stingers on my doorstep for less than $300 Canadian after exchange, duty, and shipping. If they ever open up Vegas again, I know I'll be stuffing a suitcase full of tequila , Jim Beam, and bike audio for the trip home again as usual.
