I used the Pioneer TS also. No modification was needed and they do indeed rock. The passenger really gets the most out of the lid speakers but if I lean back just a scrunch they come thru loud and clear. Between the BT 7.1's in the front and the SS nano, along with the speaker lids I have to admit that I'm probably done with tune mods.

I too have the Pioneers, no trimming. Combined with BT7.1 and pushed by a BT4180...thing cranks. Or thumps as they say around here.

Picked up my lids last night and they sure do look/feel like quality pieces. Off to the painter this morning, although the black primer looks kinda close to my denim black . I'll be ordering my speakers this morning. Narrowed down to:
1.) RF T1693 Looks to be the most durable of the bunch, but also the bulkiest.
2.) Kicker 11KS693 Also looks durable and nice specs
3.) Pioneer TS-D6902r's Seems to be the crowd favorite.
They'll be teamed up parallel with my PBR300x2/Focal VB 6.5's up front. I will wire them left/right. I'm thinking I'm looking at durability factor more than sound as I do go on trips with the bike. 65+ mph sound fidelity is kind of a moot point as all speakers will play loud/clear. Until I place the order, at this point I'm leaning towards the Kickers. Decisions, decisions ........

** Decision made. Kicker 11KS693's on the way **

The black primer on the lids is actually a bit duller than denim black. My buddy says he can get really close without buying/exactly matching the denim black..
