Audio speaker lids and speaker ???
After installing a Biketronics audio system on my 2015 RGS and being super impressed with its sound quality and using their 4ch amp (BT4180) and (BT465.15) speakers I have decided to add speaker lids, now BT offers 5X7 speakers for $399.99 but I'm looking at doing 6X9 instead. The Titan II's offer good midrange and highs, now I need some bass. I was considering doing the lower fairing speakers but I already have enough sound to satisfy my needs with my faring speakers but I need to fill the void a bit with some bass. I don't want to have too much midrange/highs in the front area. I know that in a motorcycle which you don't have a controlled environment you can't possibly get the best of both worlds due to lots of variables when riding a motorcycle... But honestly, the stock crappy premium Rushmore sound system was indeed a crappy one. The HU is sufficient, it has gps, etc but man the stock speakers were sh*t~! See attached pictures and speaker comparison
I want to properly match the front speakers with the speaker lid speakers so I am looking for suggestions? Also, HD OEM speaker lids are only made to fit 5X7 speakers, but I have come across some nice aftermarket speaker lids that will accommodate 6X9 speakers and price well, compared to HD OEM speaker lids which cost 2X or 3X more~
Thanks for the speaker recommendations and if you know of a good aftermarket speaker lids also post the info on it. Thank you~

The BT 6x9 speakers will have good bass. The Arc Moto 692 will have more bass.

V-Twin Audio has 5x7 to 6x9 adapters for the HD Lids. Here's a thread showing the adapters and there installation.

Thats a 4 ohm speaker, I do believe the BT amp runs at 2 ohms, not sure though. Ooops, my bad BT is also rated at 4 ohms and it's a pricier speaker... Also, the kit is an adapter for the stock OEM speaker lids, I would like to have a speaker lid that houses a 6X9 speaker, not a kit per se!~ Thanks brother

I would save your Starbucks money and get the Moto 692. A damn nice speaker and will exceed your expectations based on your post. The 4180 will be a perfect match!! Shoot me a PM and I will point you to one hell of a deal on the 692s.

If I saved my Starbucks money I'd own a shiny new HD Dealership!
Motos, both the 602 and 692, sound AWESOME paired with the BT amps.

Shop hard and get some good 6x9 lids. There are some good deals out there, cheaper is not always better but check back in before u pull the trigger as I am certain you will get some honest feedback.
