I’m just wondering what you guys think about lid speakers. Are they worth cutting the lids and the money invested? I’ve got a few friends who say they can’t hear their 6x9’s at all at highway speeds and probably wouldn’t do it again. I know it’s physics, you will loose a lot when in motion… but of the ones who have lid speakers, would you do it again if you started over?

 

Heck ya I would do it again.
Love the surround sound it gives me.
I went with the Harley lids and Boom Audio speakers and can hear them just fine at highway speed.
I'm running an Aquatic AV head unit and Boom Audio speakers in the fairing as well.
Like the way lid speakers look too.
Oh, and I've never had a leak in over 8 years.

 

I did the front and rear Rockford Fosgate kits on my '17 RGS. It was a good investment.

 

Nice. White denim, I haven’t seen that color. I’ve got a 17 street glide special in crushed ice pearl.

 

I did the lids and Mmats 6x9's and I like them. If I turned the front stage off at 70 I could hear the 6x9's but the 6.5GZ's up front are loud. My son will ride next to me and listen to the music on long rides. I look over and see him singing.

 

I personally wouldn't do it again....

 

I went with the ground zero red hats in the dash and diamond 6x9 speakers in the saddle bags and my sound is loud and clear at highway speed

 

I ask this question because I’m thinking about putting a set of euphoria xpert carbon fiber 6.5’s up front in the fairing. Would they be enough or do I pick an amp big enough to add 6x9’s later?

 

What horns/tweeters you gonna run?
Running a DSP?

 

I would run the EX6NCD-CF which has the tweeter. I’m not 100% against running a DSP but I would rather not.
