I was thinking about it as they are complete with the electric locks. I'd have to tear them apart to get the actuators out.

I dropped a pair of 6.5" speakers into the lids to see what I am up against. This will be an easy project. I'm going to use some 1/8" plastic to cover the 6x9 holes.

Mocking the speaker spacing up with some cardboard and I found 2" is my magic number. This will raise the speakers up into the lid leaving about a 1/2" sitting inside the bag. This will help with bag space as the 6x9's drop down into the bags 4". Where I place the 6.5" holes will be determined by the bag locks and lid tether. I have a fair amount of room to move the speakers front to back. Ideally I'd like them as far forward as possible for the sound.

I have 2 sets of grills. One set I'm going to paint body color and the other set will get painted gloss black. I'm not sure what way I want to go with these yet.

As of today I'm going to keep my factory head unit and run everything through a Rockford Fosgate DSR1 digital sound processor. This will allow me to tune each individual set of speakers.

Have you thought about angling them, or at least the front pair, forward a bit so that you can hear them better from your riding position?

After removing a lot of material and using only 1" spacers this is the best I could come up with. I'll fine tune it all once I'm confident it will all work.
