My only advice is if you are putting speakers INSIDE the bags I wouldn't over think what lids to go with or think that bigger (8's) is better.
Pedros bike that you guys just put up is the style and look I like and it sounds good.

And I'm not even a grandpa yet!
I also have a GRANDPA STYLE bike.
I enjoy rolling down the road cranking the tunes on my 2 wheel lazyboy.
Oh and btw I am a grandpa 3 times over so the catorizing of sleds fits me well.

I would have to agree with you 100% with lines that flow and functionality.
To much can be a bad thing as air space is limited in the bags.
