Default Speaker lids

Who has the best lids out there? I was looking at picking up a set of crazy 8s.

What year bike? Only a couple options for the 14+ bikes with 8s. I'm partial to my Twisted 8s.

I have Bad Dad with flush LED's. Right now only option for 14+ is with 5x7 unless they have new ones. The look great, nothing but compliments on mine.

If you go with 8s you are stuck with Speed By Design Twisted 8s like I have or Voodoo 8.8 lids with an adaptor ring for 8" speakers (or go with the JL M880). The Voodoo lids are the more expensive route. There are also the Speed By Design Loud Daddy lids for the JL M770, but that is the only speaker that fits and it's the greatest option, ask Bunker.

There are several 5x7/6x9 lid options. Just have to decide if you want an 8 (or M880) or 6x9.

I love the SBD stuff but do yourself a favor and don't run the M770's, they are basically 6.5's. I mean it that works for you go for it but if you want 8's you need to go Twisted's (8 + horn) or /shudder, the voodoo lids :/

6x9 lids opens up a lot more options

I have been beta testing the new TMS69BL14 for Rockford Fosgate. This kit comes with the template to use your existing lids. They look great, sound great, and are an easy install. I am glad I waited before buying extra lids.
