I have the Cyclesounds lids and ARC audio 6x9's with an ARC 125.2 amp mounted in the fairing. I also have 5 1/4 fairing speakers from J&M. They are powered from the deck only. I think it sounds pretty good and I didn't lose a whole lot of bag space.

Check it out here.

Just out of curiosity would I need an amp for the lid speakers? Cycle sounds says they are amplified. I have the JM amp powering my JM speakers up front.

I know that the new Polks I saw at the shop, model # MM691, ( supposed to be a new model) , had the new smaller magnets.

Perhaps you missed my sarcasm with the *LOL* at the end !!

It's all good !!

The Cycle Sounds comes with a 100W amp that is very small and chrome. I think either this amp or another would be necessary to get decent sound. Someone also asked about waterproof I believe. The polks that come with the Cycle Sounds are Marine grade and it comes with Hydrophobic material to put over the speakers to keep the water out. When I get my hard bags back from paint I'll post some pics of the fabric and how it all goes together.

Glacierpearl, my bad, just one of those days.

The funny thing is I took this pic about two months ago. LOL. I just realized that might be why GlacierPearl thought I took what he said personally. I took this pic the weekend I put the speakers in the bags.

OK guys sorry I do not mean to hijack this thread but was wondering about if the saddlebag speakers work better than the tourpak speakers for the rider and passenger? I have a Streetglide with a tourpak and have been thinking about either adding tourpak or saddlebag lid speakers and just want the best bang for the buck. I still need to be able to use most of my saddlebags. Thanks for any input.
