Default 5x7 speaker input

I am wanting to swap out my 6x9's in the lids to 5x7. I travel with my bike a lot and the 6x9 with the adapter brackets takes up too much valuable bag space.
I am wanting to find out which would be the best? I have looked into Hertz and Focal. What would you guys recommend? Are there other suitable options?
Thanks in advance!

The hogtune lids don't use adapters for the 6x9s. Speakers fit up in the lids.

Do the JLs require cutting the baskets in the Boom lids?

I would think so. The basket is pretty shallow, but that might be all you have to cut.
