I'm planning to add the Hogtunes lids with a set of Pioneer Pro 6900 6x9's in the next few weeks, and other than speaker cloth, ive got no ideas on how to keep my pro's dry and functional. Of course, I never want to get caught in the rain, but thats not always possible...Any other options I should explore other than a different speaker choice? Thanks a bunch!

 

Waterproof treated grill cloth works surprisingly well. That said, if I get caught/anticipate a downpour, I have a set of vinyl lid covers in the bags. Take up very little space.

Ok...Guess the cloth will be it. I already own a set of HD lid covers, but they are a bit of a PITA with that velcro. The glue melts in the heat, and then the hook & loops slide out of position. I was thinking of buying a set of Mustang lid covers and having them cut out and re-stitched to expose the speakers, yet protecting the rest of the lids. Surprised nobody makes lid covers for speaker lids...scuffed lids suck! I may even be able to use the cut out material to hook & loop back over the speaker grills in case of emergency rain. Wouldnt be perfectly waterproof, but may suffice & take up no storage room.

 

I installed the DD DX6x9 speakers in my Hogtunes lids without speaker cloth on the speakers. The reason being is the cloth would impede the speaker movement if I wrapped it. Maybe someone else has a better option out there.

 

Get some lid condoms. And yes, that is what they are

called lol.

 

.....


I wanna say he is selling them for $45 right now, this was a sale he was doing.

 

Condoms are a good idea. Do they stay on well enough to ride with, or are they for sitting parked?

 

They are for riding, sitting, whatever you are doing. They fit all lids.

 

Matt, do you have a link for those, I can't seem to find them? SF

 

Only thing I find re: Robb Boggs, but no lid condoms.
