Hey guys! I just recieved my new Cycle Sounds Lids and am about to get them painted, and while they are out, I was trying to figure out what speakers to go with... I will be using a PBR300x2 to power the 6x9's. Does anyone have an Idea of what would sound good in these saddlebags? I know sound is subjective to everyones ear, I just need a nudge in the right direction. I have 4 Polk audios in the front running off a PBR300x4, but I have heard that the Polk 6x9's come up a little lacking in the bass dept. What do you guys think?
Is there a car stereo store close to you where they have a display where you can compare different speakers? Or you can also check online for different reviews, and check places like Crutchfield where they review and rate many different products.
Tried Best Buy, You can never find the mobile audio salesperson... SMH! I read a review on the internet, it was called "The Ultimate 6x9 ShootOut" The rated the Soundstream SST6.9 as the best for overall sound quality and value, and this was out of 23 dfferent brands including some higher end models!
I'm running all infinity kappas @ 2 ohms. But you have to make sure whatever 6x9 speaker you chose will have the clearance to allow the cover to fix properly.
The quality is excellent! They shouldn't take hardly any prep work. As for the clearance they are pretty deep set and should be bolted from the bottom up, which should make it easier if I ever need to remove the speaker.
I'm running jl audio in mine and love them. The sound quality is awesome and they have been very reliable. I've got them wet plenty of times and they are still rocking.
Be glad to help out however I can. Usually if you go to the local HD dealers they always have a list of whats going on. If all else fails just go to Cafe 27 (US 27 and Griffin) on any weekend or Thursday night.

I live 3 minutes up from 186th (183) and 67th ave, (Flamingo) just above the Dade Broward line. We'll definitely have to meet up. I apologize to the OP also, at least he lives here so he understands.

Apologize to OP but this turned into S FL thread. I just put offer for home in North Bay. Fingers crossed. If not back to the searching which sucks all the way from Colorado.
yes I do - not even painted, just primered from HD
I like the angle, but haven't ridden anyone else's bike with cycle sounds or side car cyles to compare.
5x7 is a tough size
I just finished the break in on the rears, adding the bass boost soon
everything sounds perfect, just want a little, woof woof
it's fripping raining 38 degrees sideways here for the past 8 days, today was nice but everything is cold and muddy - sent us some more sunshine please
been going around the house with weather stripping tape and jam sealant to
keep it warm, yeah, big fun
I really like the Infinity Kappa's. Which lids did you get? the double or single ones. I sold my sinister audio lids in favor of the single cycle sound lids.
You can keep your gauges and just run a set of tweeter in the corner of the stock speaker mount plate.. That's what I did. Very discrete. Look at the corner grill. Just take your time drilling the hole the dremel it out to you liking.
I have a PBR300x4 and just got the PBR300x2. I might just get another PBR300x2 and put the 4ch up for sale... I think the 2ohm stable would be a more versatile choice.
Let me know how the install goes w/the lids & how the it holds up/block water out. I'm on the fence on getting a set. I don't know Anyone that has them to personally see them. Thx
