Default Speaker lid wiring

I'm trying to come up with a decent way to run/hide my speaker wires to my lids. Anyone that would throw up some pics on what you've done would be very much appreciated! Thanks

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I got some good waterproof connectors on Amazon, butt connected to good speaker wire and ran from between the shock and bag mount pin along frame w zip ties up under seat/around battery and under tank to fairing. In bag just down one side and up the other with a couple dabs on marine grade clear caulk to keep wires from getting snagged. 2 pin waterproof connectors just dangle between the shock and pin with just enuff slack to make for easy connect and disconnect.


Wire
2 pin waterproof connectors (8 for like 6 bucks)
Rubber grommet to prevent wire chafe in bag hole
Caulk
Zip ties.
Drill bit. (Northern tools-expensive at HD/Lowes

Hope this helps.

Thanks T. I got some Delphi connectors off of ebay. Just wondering how to hide the wires in the bags as to not get in the way of cargo. Don't really want it to look like a hack job.

This is mine, then a liner is going over it. You could run the wires shorter around the rim of the bag to make them shorter and up out of the way.

.....add another set of 6X9's in your bags and just tuck all the wiring under the speakers! No one will notice the wiring they'll just look at the speakers. Oh and with 3 6X9's per bag you won't have space for anything else to disrupt your wiring.
