We tested 2 Harley-Davidson speaker lid 6x9 cut in kits for factory lids .
These kits allow you to add 6x9 speakers to you factory Harley-Davidson speaker lids without having to repaint your lids .
The kit is completely water proof ( if installed correctly) .
These kits come complete with weather proof 6x9 speakers , cut in lid kit , cut templates, complete saddle bag wiring harness with quick disconnects so the bags can be easily removed and serviced.
We also tested both 6x9s and put them head to head . - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Man, you can't begin to express how much your videos educate me. I'm tempted to just ship my bike to you because I don't trust the quality of the one shop I know of in my city. Keep them coming!!!
Carlos, I just installed a set of the boss. Everything you showed that was different, boss addressed. Everything down to the weather strip foam/gasket. The only difference in the speakers was the magnet. They sound much better than I expected.
Lol boss being a much larger company than Rockford. It's prob Rockford using Boss' build house in China . Who knows nowadays. Great video and bringing more solutions to light for Harley owners
Appreciate the mention regarding our 2014 & up Harley 6x9 Lid Kits , in reality our kit, Rockford & Boss are manufactured in completely different overseas facilities, it is true that many manufactures share facilities for various types of product however in this case they are in fact different.
Since we manufactured our cut in kit First, when BOSS came out with their kit we of coarse purchased to make a extremely in-depth comparison to see if our product had been infringed upon as we all know the gentleman overseas may not be as we shall say known for their loyalty.
Turns out they are not from the same molding, in fact the Rockford Kit & BOSS have structural differences that are noticeable to the human eye if you know how and were to look for them.
Even though similar in style and design our 702 Motoring 6x9 Cut In Kits are using a different blend of plastic chemistry that is actually easier to work with, designed to hug the lid of the saddlebag better and less prone to cracking when some users may attempt to use a bigger basket 6x9's without the needed 6x9 1/2 inch spacers.
There are several companies releasing 6x9 Cut in Kits, AQUATIC AV is one of them and I can say First hand their kit will greatly outperform the Rockford kit by leaps and bounds, we have been in house testing them for a good while and the kits are available now, also another company is about to release a large selection of 2014 & up Harley product but it is best I not mention the name just yet.
Rockford is revamping their complete Product line currently as you know with regards to Harley product, times have changed, customer demands have changed and the offerings mostly from Diamond Audio and others have taken Harley Sound Systems to a completely different level.
Not so sure the new Rockford M5-800X4 is going to put you in your 800 Watt class you mentioned in your # 2 Video, the power is the same Rated Power (RMS Continuous Power) as the TM400x4ad and it is actually a little taller and longer, however we are sure all the new product releasing will be a big improvement over the going out product.
Rockford Fosgate is a Great Company with Great Product and we are 702 Motoring Las Vegas fully support their product lines.
Good job on your video's, keep up the good work,

702…..I just got “your kit” and it isn’t made BY YOU.
“YOUR KIT” Is made by Aquatic AV and had their name stamped on each piece.
You obviously simply asked Aquatic AV To make kits for you (less the speakers) and put you logo on the screens….and paid them a huge amount of money to do so.
So PLEASE STOP your BS that you make your kit.
Please learn from Carlos and be an upfront and honest business person. Your typical salesman BS is simply that… BS.
I did purchase the cut in kit, but thank God I did not fall for your crappy sales pitch on trying to purchase the speakers off you.
702…. Learn better business!!!! SMH
Awesome video bro. I just purchased the boss kit and it is ridiculously similar to the Rockford kit. One thing I saw I do really like about the boss kit, is the basket to protect the speaker allows for a bigger magnet. I’m really happy with the kit and was also surprised with the speakers. Definitely another option that’s a great contender for speaker lids.
Appreciate all your effort ,I learn something everytime I watch one of your video s ... Thanks
Appreciate your honest impression of each companies product. Learned alot in this video, thank you!
I bought the Boss kit because of this video. The wires are so much the same as Rockford Fosgate, that the amp end of the harness plugged right into my amp. The amp is the PBR400XD. Again thanks for the review, the Boss is great for the price.
Love this man thank you for the input has helped me tremendously.
Wow is all the can say,would never think the Boss can hang.definitely made in same location. A lot of companies do that ,thus the similarities. Great job
Great Video! Thanks
that explains why my lids leak had a set of 6x9's installed thanks for the foam tip will be doing as soon as i get achance
I got the BOSS 6x9 kit and the sound is amazing...I have no complaints!! I have the Stinger SPX7004 powering them and my 6.5's; just need to add a DSP to take my setup to the next level.
Boss for the win
great info
I think most of us just want the lid kit and not the speakers . Wish we didn’t have to buy the whole package
I think they sell the lid kit online for 500
Id go back to my mp3 player earbuds before paying what some are charging for a cut in kit. Luckily I already have some 5X7's in the lids that will never get swapped out for 6X9's until somebody finally comes to their senses and offers a standalone universal kit without speakers for the DIY guys.
@@cbdynaprecision power and Hertz.
Good stuff
Salute!
The rubber gasket you mention with the RF speaker can be found on the bottom mounting area off the boss speaker. All you need to do is peal it off and boom you have the rubber gasket on the bracket. But I will still be using foam tape to get it extra waterproof
I have Focal HDK-165’s in the faring of my ‘19 RGS and the Boss Audio 6X9’s in the lids and I think it sounds great! I was originally going to ditch the boss and go with the Hertz SPL Show, but no need at this point I’ll just wait until the Boss’ give out and save 400.00 bucks. It certainly helps that my system is running the Arc Audio PSM and tuned properly with an RTA by a professional, but I gotta say these Boss 6X9’s are a huge bang for the buck and really shine when they’re dialed in.
How are those boss 6x9 holding out and do they sound good
@@jgutierrez559 you’d be surprised but the output is about the same as the Rockford Fosgate package. That being said a nice pair of small 8” mids in the lower bags are in my future
Jesus those x9s look all but identical.
Great videos Carlos!! Have you mounted any GZ 7x10 in dual 6x9 CVO lids with power locks? Currently running 4 JL C3 and wanted to switch to GZ or Diamond MP694 or 69cx, was told neither would fit.
Thanks For taking the time to educate this Old head on what's going on Now . My Audio Experience was back in 90's and to Know what's being used Now from your Sharing Really Helps . I decided on upgrading my CVO 2012 and 2015 CVO Street Glides . With one being twin cooled , the Lowers on the 15 have no room and the aftermarket style rings don't appeal to me .
My Question or Area I need help in is the Lowers on MY 2012 . I don't won't to modify , looking for drop in fit .
I have been buying my equipment and have a SONY XAV- 7000 Head Unit , ARC Audio 720 4 ch Amp , Rockford Fosgate Punch 300 watt 2 Ch Amp , Rockford DSR1 , Diamond Audio M1SRT tweeters , Diamond Audio 6 x9 Motorsport and Diamond Audio MSPRO65 for The Batwing .
So I need a good 6.5 Speaker for the Lowers . You let us know about the importance of Speaker choice or Combinations and I need to hear my lowers and would like some Mid Bass if Possible . Not a lot of power , but I think if tuned right , it could sound ok . .
My Musical choice is Old School ie : AL Green and Johnnie Taylor and Marvin and who can forget Frankie Beverly & Maze mix with some Sir Charles or Southern Soul . Well , if your reading spend some time on those lower choices and how the Timing and DSR1 and speaker choice can help .
Thanks Again " Ol Man 62 " ..

Your best choice in my opinion for a drop in fit in the lowers will be the hertz Neo sx 165 but you will not get mid bass out of them . It really hard to get mid bass from lowers because they are so small ( the bigger the air space the more bass )
Thanks for this Carlos. I have the Boss kit. Grills are solid and look sharp. The 6x9s handle the 100 watts per channel from the RF 400 amp just fine and actually sound decent. I adjusted the fader on my xav7000 to balance them with the Mmats in the fairing and things are good for now.
Hey I have a question. Can those fit on a 2005 road king classic? Hard leather bags?
Great video, does NVS AUDIO sale the bose lid kit?
Any tips on how to install and make water tight so no water gets in the bags?
Hello, have you checked out the Kicker Harley kit? Any thoughts? Thanks!
I got the boss kit for the 2010 street glide I need the cut out template do you know where I can get them. Thanks
Do you have any experience with the new Harley Rockford OEM system and how it stacks up to the original Rockford stage 3?
♥️
Im ready to invest in you making your own speakers. Knowledge is grand.
💪🏿
Will the BOSS kit fit an 08 Roadking?
How does the Diamond Audio lid kit compare to these?
How would you compare of the Rockford Fosgate to the precision power?
K sorry for all the extra comments but I had too. The boss seems to play a lil wider range on your RTA than the Rockford. Going off of the dots of course. Seem like the Rockford was peaky and narrower range vs the boss being wider range. Maybe I'm seeing things
I was rushing through the video to keep it short
I spent 2 hours messing with both sets . The rta was almost identical
@@NVSAUDIOman $200 difference. Seems like boss step it up in this one. Wonder if build house are the same or Boss are just that good at cloning
I think the Boss was clearer through the full range, and the bass was not a muddy
Hello I have 2018 cvo R.glide 5x7 speaker with power bag locks. How can I get 6x9s upgrade and not lose my bag locks?
is this a plug and play system ?
Do you have to put a baffle on the 6x9 speaker if your running 10s in the bags?
The Boss Audio speakers will not fit if used with the Rockford 10" subwoofer kit. The Rockford kit only works with the Rockford 6x9's.
which of the 2 kits to buy, in your opinion????
Wow frequency was nearly identical
aquatic has a cut in lid kit also
Hey Bro, aquatic, never heard of it...where can I find it?
@@MrRW-dw9pu
It’s $549
www.aquaticav.store/Ulta-Saddlebag-6x9-Speaker-Kit_p_131.html
Please if you find time test the amps
Compare the Rockford fosgate with the hertz spl show 6x9
This is so old, no one may see it. But I just ordered the RF kit. Right now I have an aquatic radio that claims 288w amp in it. I have alpine 6.5s in front. Has anyone tried it off this radio with no amp? Swapping bags and speakers cost me $1000 painting them myself. So it may take a month or 2 before I can throw money at a 4channel amp
You definitely need a amp
We have tried it .
Almost no output
What is the difference between the Boss speaker lid kit BHD98 and BHD14
The year of bike that they fit ( same with the Rockford kit )
Bhd98 fits 1998 - 2013
Bhd14 fits 2014 - 2021
So now all I need is some front speakers.. how’s boss compared to Rockfords?
I don’t like the front speakers from either company
Get Hertz Neo 165
Ground zero gzcf6.5 Spl
Mmats pa601cx
@@NVSAUDIO thanks my man.... do you know if they will drop right in some lowers? I gotta roadking.. and will the amp that came with the Rockford kit be good enough to power it?
Hey Carlos, do you know anything about the ground zero yellow 7x10
I know everything about the 7x10s
What would you like to know ?
@@NVSAUDIO are the 7x10 any good for bass , inside the saddlebags, since they are bigger, but I don't see know one using them
@@NVSAUDIO also I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages for having 8 inch lids when adding bass
@@lobo8052 in my opinion
If you are adding bass to the bags
Don’t do lids
You will
Need to add a sealed back driver or a compression horn so the bass doesn’t destroy they 8
@@NVSAUDIO hey, Carlos good morning sir. Okay I will go with the sealed back,so how much to do my baggs, also I have a tour pack with 8s just like the orange bike, do I have to do anything to the tour pack, I'm going with the red ground zero
Kicker also has a lid kit. It's not a cut in kit, it's a lid set, more expensive. www.kicker.com/46HDBL
How do Kicker PS694 speakers compare just speaker wise in same speaker box. How many RMS do you think Kicker can handle?
I wish someone would just sell the kit without speakers.
Ok
I'm sorry but the Rockfords are shit even with the rockford dsp in my opinion I feel like I way over paid compared to what I have now
