CDT speakers in car audio get a lot of talk. Not sure about "motorcycle specific" speakers though.

My bike started with cdt. That's why I am curious to the model being looked at. They sounded really good but didn't have near the punch my Hertz do. But I am comparing a $600 component set to a $300 component set as well. They were great in my car 10 years ago. Powered properly they will sound good depending on the model. I had the es60cv components and they did a damn good job but I was still craving more.

Kicker L7 12" with a b52 to power it. Square sub would fit nice in tour pack if you have the depth. Check specs but free air you can just mold a small enclosure in bottom and beat the **** out of it.

Ive Never heard of them actually on a bike... Obviously everyone knows that speakers that work in a car won't always work for a bike...in the Audio world in my opinion esp with bikes.. you get what you pay for.. IF it were me.. I spend my money in a direction i know will work.

If you get into their upper tier models they will do well on any platform. Cost is not priced competitively for comparative models. CDT UPPER END would be comparable to Focal KRX2- up to close to the utopia ,top tier Rainbow, Morel, etc. These are Audiophile speakers that again are not the best price for a bike but will not disappoint if you had the coin.
