Default Best quick disconnect system for lid speakers?
I'm finally getting around to finishing up with my Street Glide stereo. After a circuitous route I ended up with BT 7.1's up front and a SS nano 5200 amp. I just purchased a set of Hog Tunes lids and a pair of Pioneer TS-D6902R's to install into them. I ran the speaker wires back to the right side cover last winter and coiled them up waiting for this next step. Now that it is happening I am looking for ideas and pictures of the best way to wire the saddlebags so I can simply and cleanly disconnect the speaker wires.

Don't hold me to it, but I thought UltraNutz said the lids come with the disconnects?

I used 2 pin quick disconnect harness on Amazon. Just search 2 pin disconnect harness on Amazon under electronics, 2 different types. One is white with gold pins other is black with red and black wires. I ordered both, ended up using the black 18 gauge one's. They come with different size wires from CES, worked well easy to use. I soldered them to the end of my speaker wires and shrink wrapped them.

they do come with quick disconnects like this but already assembled with plenty of wire on each end to make them easy to disconnect.

True. Forgot about that. I have access to the tool so it's not a big deal for me. Some auto part stores will loan them too.

Forgot that the Hogtunes come with a quick connect harness. Bill at Biketronics made me one for the saddlebags when I ordered my 6x9's.
