Default Speaker lids / 6X9 or 8”

Looking to add speakers and amp to 22 Street Glide Special. Had a 14 with 8 speaker set up (Fairing/Lowers/Lids/Tour Pack). Want to go with fairing, lids and removable tour pack on this one. Debating on 6X9 or 8” for the lids. What speaker and amp combo is everyone running?

It depends on just what you want. 8's will play a little lower (I'm talking about coax) but I just dont like the lids with 8's in them. A 6x9 cut in kit is cheaper and looks more factory. I dont think they make a 8" lid for 2014 up points straight foward with out pointing outward.
