Default Polk or Pioneer 6x9's for my lids?
Looking for input on the better 6x9 for my Cycle Sound lids. I'm using The SS520 for power and was wondering which would be better the MM691 or the Pioneer TS-D6902R?

I'm using the Polk DXi690, they are a great marine grade speaker and at 4ohms provide a clean crisp sound.

I am using the 691s in my lids. They sound great, and I have had no problems. I would love to hear the Pioneers to compare.

I have the 2 way 6x9 Pioneer's in my saddlebag lids and the bass is great. I had Focal Access 6x9 before, they sounded cleaner but not as much low end. If you have a nice set of speakers in your fairing then the Pioneer's will really bring the sound together with it's nice bass.

Yes, I had them in before my liners. I do think they sound better with them in. I think everything is a little tighter with a bit more bass.
