i put Pioneer TS-A1684R 6.5" up in the fairing & Pioneer TS-A6994R 6x9's in the bags. i can quick disconnect them but i want to put a small plug on them. i was trying to find a small trailer light plug but the only ones i could find at wally world were 4 plug ones.
Nice! : )

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...........those Pioneers historically fail under these conditions.
The problem with them is: the plastic bracket that holds those 4 little speakers is kind of heavy, and after miles of shaking/ bumps/ etc,...........they break off.
Had the same thing happen with the Pioneer 6902 . I just snapped off the tweeter, and kept going. These 6 X 9's are mainly for bass anyways.
I've had to replace 2 of mine so far.
I guess most of these 6 X 9's get mounted horizontal where they wouldn't have the weight of the tweeter pulling all the time.
That being said,.........a 2 way speaker usually works better in the saddlebag, since you are only looking for it to produce lows.
If the bass wasn't the best I've heard on the 6902's, ( and the price wasn't so cheap ), I'd look for another option.
Maybe you'll have better luck !! I sure hope so !

mine arent hooked up right now, i unhooked them the other day when i ran mine Pioneers up in the fairing. but i am thinking about changing my 6.5's out already to a set made by American Bass. a friend of mine owns a speaker shop & i was down there yesterday when he got a few of them in. he hooked up this 10" mid range just to a radio with no amp & this thing was killer. the sounds pumping out of it was crystal clear & could be heard from a great distance. i told him to order me 4 of the 6.5's. 2 of them for the bike & the other 2 are gonna go into the doors of my Vette.
if you get a chance check them out, i think you would be pleased with the sound quality, & NO i am not getting a kickback from the sale of any...lol

well i had both sets of speakers recommended to me by a friend who owns his own audio shop, so we'll see what happens. as far as pricing they were pretty cheap, i got them off of amazon. but thanks for the heads up, i'll run them for a couple of weeks then pull them out & check them.
