Rockford Fosgate Speaker Lid Kits

Description

These are the inner views of the left and right saddlebag lids (the hinged tops of the rear saddlebags on a touring-style Harley, like a Street Glide, Road Glide, or similar “bagger” model). The lids have been modified or replaced to mount large 6×9-inch speakers for rear audio output, creating a powerful sound system that projects music outward and helps overcome wind/engine noise at highway speeds.

Key visible details and components:

• The black plastic housing is the saddlebag lid itself (or a speaker pod/mount integrated into it), with a rugged, weather-resistant design typical for motorcycle use.
• Each lid contains a prominent 6×9″ speaker:
  • On the left lid: A coaxial speaker with a large cone (woofer/midrange driver) and a central horn-loaded tweeter (the protruding metallic/gray structure in the middle for high frequencies).
  • On the right lid: Similar setup, but with a more clearly visible Diamond Audio label on the tweeter/magnet area (circular badge saying something like “Diamond Audio” or model details), confirming these are the MP694 Pro models. These are pro-series, full-range 2-way coaxial speakers with a 1″ horn tweeter, known for extreme loudness, clarity, high power handling (around 150W RMS), and excellent midrange/highs to cut through road noise. They feature a replaceable tweeter diaphragm and neo magnets for efficiency.
• Mounting hardware: Metal brackets, screws, and clips secure the speakers in place. There are visible mounting tabs, bolts, and reinforcement plates around the edges.
• Rockford Fosgate branding: Black fabric or neoprene covers/straps labeled “HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE” and “ROCKFORD FOSGATE” (or similar) are wrapped or attached below the speakers, likely protective covers, wiring harness guides, or part of the official Rockford Fosgate TMS series lid kit (e.g., models like TMS69BL for 2014+ bikes or similar retrofit kits). Rockford Fosgate partners with Harley for official audio upgrades, and their lid kits often include brackets, grilles, and adapters to fit 6×9 speakers into the lids without major custom work.
• Additional elements: Small LED or pilot light (red dot on the right speaker), wiring connections, and structural reinforcements inside the lid for durability and vibration resistance.

The caption mentions “Rockford Lid Kit Night At The Garage ! 13 & Down & 14 & Up!” — this refers to Rockford Fosgate’s saddlebag speaker lid kits tailored for different Harley generations:

• “13 & Down” (pre-2014 models, often plug-and-play or retrofit on existing lids).
• “14 & Up” (2014+ models with hard-shell bags, using cut-in or bolt-on kits like TMS69BL14).

These upgraded lids turn a stock Harley saddlebag into a rear speaker enclosure, typically part of a full audio system (paired with front fairing speakers, amp, etc.) for loud, clear sound on the road. The Diamond Audio MP694 Pros are a popular aftermarket upgrade/substitute in these setups for their “pro horn” design and superior volume/clarity over stock or basic Rockford units
