Default Upgrade Help

I'm thinking about upgrading my system. I presently have a 2012 SG with PBR300x2 with 6.5 Polk audio and factory HU. I'm somewhat pleased with this setup, but I want more surround sound so I was thinking about adding speaker lids with 6x9s.

Does anyone have suggestions on lids. I have HD stretched saddle bottoms.

I was thinking about the new RF TM400X4ad amp. 6x9s I presently haven't chosen one.

Thanks for any advice.

Hog Tune lids are the best quality lids out there right now. The other options are Fairing factory and Cycle sounds. Hear mixed reviews on both cycle sounds and fairing factory. Nothing but good stuff with the Hog Tunes.

Harley CVO lids, (factory matched paint),with Biketronics HAT 6x9 speakers (waterproof, Bill told me they ran a garden hose on them) is another option a lot of guys are running.

Not happy with cycle sound lids the speaker grill mounting leaves edges of grill not recessed or at least flush with bag lid. Hinge point seams a little weak , they where the only ones available at the time first out just not first in quality in this case.
