What fits in a RF Lid Kit?
What fits in a RF Lid Kit?
I am going to remove the RF 6x9's for the last time and want to replace with Cicada or something similar. What will fit in the RF lid kit without much modification? Hopefully something with a Neodymium magnet since I am pretty sure the kits weren't made to hold much weight.
The Cicada CXX69.2 fits with no modification. The only thing is that you won't be able to put the plastic cover that comes with the RF speakers. These sound really great, and I haven't even changed the amp settings yet. The gain is supposed to be at 12 o'clock for the RF speakers but if you manually tune it should be about 2 o'clock so there is more power to be had with the upgraded speakers. Next, I need to blow my RF 6.5 speakers so I can upgrade them.

I haven't tested it yet but supposedly this amp is cleaner than it's predecessor.

You won't always hear distortion. Your amp could very well could be putting out a distorted signal when you are at full volume and this will eventually lead to melting of the voice coil on your 6x9. If you want your equipment to last, measuring voltage is the only way to set amplifier gains.

I've got a set of Hertz neo 6x9s I took out of my last bike. If I decide to go with the RF kit do they fit OK? On a side note I have also heard that the Cicada cut in kits are pretty good as well.
