Speaker lids... Who has done and install info and pictures
#21
the very BEST sounding lids with speakers, J&M's 7.25" ROKKER series at http://www.jmcorp.com/ProductDetail....HSDR-7252GTM-T ,,,,,,
they don't take up a lot of saddlebag space either ,,,,

Just a couple questions to help you sway people away from the Cycle Sounds lids, which I have and really like the design. facts please!

I installed a set of Cycle Sound lids with the Rockford 4ch amp and 6.5 inch Hertz in the fairing and 6x9 Polk Audio in the lids. This combination produces a great sound...but keep in mind when riding over 40 mph the Cycle Sound lid speakers will not be heard...but your passenger will enjoy the great sounds.

How do your Cycle sound lids withstand a good downpour??? Don't the speakers fill up with water?

Just want to say thanks for everyone's input on my original post. To john from jm can u beat native custom baggers price on the lids and how do they hold up against a down pour. That is one of my major concerns about doing this project to the bike.
To 1sweetglide. Thanks for input I'm mostly doing it for the wife. She says she can't hear the fronts. I call it selective hearing on her part.

I haven't seen the J&M speakers installed or the others offered by other aftermarket vendors. HD actually uses two different speakers in the lids: (1) the ones used in the SESG3 (and HD's "Custom Touring" accessory kit) are 1 ohm impedance; and, (2) the ones offered in the saddlebag speaker lid kit are 2 ohm impedance.
Both versions of the HD speakers mount the tweeter in a bridge rather than on a stalk installed through the cone. I suspect that using a bridge for the tweeter provides some better water intrusion protection for the woofer cone/voice coil than mounting the tweeter on a stalk. I selected the RF 6x8 T1682's because they also use a bridge to mount the tweeter.
HD's primered lids list for $119 ea. Add the cost of grilles ($42.50 ea.) and the pair of lids and grilles costs $325 list or so.
