I've got another fresh one up on the docket. Honestly, this one will work for maybe 5% of the community but it came in pretty handy for me so I figured I may as well post it.

I needed a speaker solution for when I have my doors off that was reasonable and out of the way of everything. This way the speakers wont be getting full of mud or water either.

Start with something like this



Then get some hardware





Checking placement of the buckles



Measure angle Iron and cut two pieces. (7 Inches each)



Put together for drilling



Drilled



After all the holes are finished



Check placement again then mark for cuts and holes in the fiberglass



Cut and drill



almost ready to mount



Mounting buckles and angle iron



After everything is put back together.



Mounted. tied in on both ends with cable ties. The center buckles twist to adjust the overall length so that it will fit basically any cage now.



And I was running out of daylight but here is what it looks like installed.


I put in new speakers and then put the original grills back on so that it looked semi decent and would protect the speakers a little better. Honestly, there is nothing special or pretty about this but it works and now I have some sound when the doors are off. I know this probably won't work on most peoples jeeps but I figured I would post it anyway just for fun. Enjoy and comment away....

Cool idea but at that point why not just weld speaker mount to the cage?

Could have done that too. This was just the cheapest and easiest way to go. And this way its easy to remove if I need to.

I always figured I'd just run some extra tube inside the same width as a Wranglers stock rollbar so I could run one of their sound bars.

I don't get the point of the angle iron and everything in the middle. It looked like it would have worked just the same without modding it.

I wouldn't have done all this work if it would have fit with out. The reason for the angle iron in the middle is that that its adjustable and will actually fit like it does. When it was full length it was too long and wouldn't sit on both sides of the cage. This was the simplest and cheapest option I could come up with and it seemed to do the job pretty well for what I was looking for.

Cool idea. I need to add some speakers back in my junk.

A tj sound bar might work even better in yours since its a little more weather sealed and your top is open. I had one of those sitting around for a while too but ended up selling it and buying an air horn with the proceeds.

I think that is a pretty interesting solution

Yeah, I was thinking about just doing marine wake board tower speakers and mounting them to the cage but I'd be blasting the folks that sit in the back.

Gotcha, from the pics it looked the same size to me.

Does your head unit not have a fader option?
