Cycle Sounds and new Hog Tunes (thx Ultra) - both run 6x9's. The HT are more like the CVO lids w/ a bit more tilt which should work well.

Hard to go wrong and just depends which style you like. Both will sound better to the passenger than the pods playing into her hips.

GL!

Hawg-Wired or HogTunes? I think you might be referring to the HogTunes lids that are designed similar to the CVO lids but with a drain channel and a direct bolt in pattern for 6x9 vs having to use an adapter from 5x7 to 6x9 as the CVO lids require.

Cycle Sounds lids suck! see my post here

Ron it really all depends on the speakers you choose to go with. There are many out there that will work great.

Polk MM691 - Great sound, great sound quality, lacks a little on bass (low) end
Biketronics/Hat BT479 - Excellent speaker, excellent sound quality, great low end bass response. Very detailed design on the adapter plates
Pioneer TS-D6902R - Excellent speaker as well and more low end bass than I've heard from any 6x9 speaker. Great sound quality as well.
Focal 7x10" - don't have any hands on experience with them but Focal is Focal. Excellent quality is assured.

Many others but these are the most popular.

lids only primed black are $399 and the lids primed black WITH the HT 6x9s are $589 on the site but call Pez directly and he'll likely cut you some slack. Tell him his lids are the talk of the forums lately.. Hell if there is enough interest, a group buy would probably be a good idea as well. Someone would have to manage that (not me) process.

Just FYI though.. I don't know anything about the HT 6x9 speakers. Haven't seen any specs on them

Hogtunes lids
