Default HAT i57-2 Speakers

Anyone have any experience with these speakers. I'm looking to install them in some Baddad lids that currently have J&M Rokkers. I'm running a bt4180 amp and need a good set of 4ohm speakers for the lids.

Thanks Robert

Yes, they are a good option over stock or J&M. They need to be pushed and the BT 4180 will push them

Rob, I don't know what year bike, but if 13 or older BT has a kit with an adapter and a 6x9 Hat that should fit in the Baddad lids, should be louder and better bass!

Brothas, I recently went totally off the reservation lately due to a lead from one of my buds and installed some Pioneer TS 6900 Pro Series speakers in my lids. $129 delivered Amazon Prime.
Best speaker I have heard in this location and loud as shix, good highs (uncommon for a 6x9), damn clear, and good lows and mids. Diamond in the ruff.

They r ugly as hell because of this horn / tweeter thing Pioneer used but with the hydro fabric covering them looks don't matter.

I will caution u that it's a big damn magnet. It also has this massive horn sticking out the middle of the speak about 2.5 inches, but in reality it's as if they were designed for lids as I still have plenty of clearance from my lid grills.

Ran the shix out of them this week and this morning and very impressed, especially for $129. A horn /tweet mounted on a 6x9 is a dream come true!!!!

Just my .02 cents.
