Yes they will.

Hertz are awesome speakers but the BT 7.1's are better/louder than the Hertz HCX 165. For the money I wouldn't consider the lower Hertz lines. I have Hertz HCX 6X9's in my lids and they get very loud, the BT's are comparable. If I had to choose I'd get 6X9's all day over the 5X7's and the BT's with their bracket will fit and will give you more bass over a 5X7.

Not to hi-jack someone elses thread but what is the difference between the BT 7.1 and the BT 7.14?

And is the price difference worth it?

The 7.14 is just the 7.1 for the 14 and newer Rushmore bikes. The pro is the upgrade from the regular 7.1/7.14.

NOOOOOOOO!!! Lol

As far as the cost, contact Kip Schneider at Scrub Cycles in Houston. The 7.1's are more expensive that his price of the HCX's. Now on the other hand the BT warranty can't be beat. You really can't go wrong with either. Haze324 is right though, the lower end Hertz products SUCK.

the difference is the line of HAT speaker between the regulars and the pros.

bayboy.....you gotta remember the previous Titan's were Hertz HCX....the new 7.1 outperform those speakers. We're not taking HSK, SPL's etc.
