Default Speaker lid wires
I am waiting on my bt4180 and 6x9 lid speakers from Bill at Biketronics and was wondering what others have used for speaker wires and quick disconnects for the speaker lids.

Good news. I think they will be in your box from Bill...or at least they were in mine. If not, he'll hook you up

Everything I've ordered from Biketronics has had more than enough wiring to hook up what they sell. I still need to install the quick disconnects on mine and drill the saddlebags. I just have some wires that I close the lids on for now because I wanted to 100% I liked the speakers lids before I drilled into my CVO style bags.

You didn't mention which lids you have, but my Hawg Tune lids came with a speaker wiring kit.

I drilled my bags. Later, it was bought to my attention that I only needed to notch the top of the bags to prevent crimping the wires. I hadn't thought of it. Just throwing it out there as another option.

Um, did you get speaker screens? They don't come with the lids, mine came with the boom 5x7's when I had them in before I switched to the BT 6X9's.
