You looking for 6.5 or 6x9's?

I went with the hogtunes lids with hertz Mille mpx 690's. I should have them Saturday I'll let you know how they sound.

What other audio do you currently have?

Curious to know how much difference there is between the Mille 690's and the hcx 690s...

I went the opposite route, spent all my money on the lids and cheaped out on the speakers

I went with the Bad Dad Competition lids, my only regret is I didn't spring the extra for the LED version

I have some used Pioneer 6x9's atm, will probably upgrade later though

Baddad lids and J&M Rokkers 5x7's, not the best speakers. I will upgrade sometime soon.

I went with Hogtunes from factory match. Lids look great, paint was perfect, but the lid seal is a royal pain and makes closing the bags a pain.

If you go the Hogtunes route for a 14+, get the speakers as well, to use the tweeter mounting bridge to close the gap. I tossed the HT speakers afterward...

I was leaning towards the Hogtunes lids and adding Hertz 6x9's , but
now I'm concerned with the seal being an issue.

The only problem with the seal is in the beginning when new. Once it's been compressed it's not bad.
