I couldnt fit the speakers in stock location in the corners. I was thinking about installing them in the rear wall in back, but I think that the gas tank will be in the way, so that nixes that idea. Trying to figure out another layout so I may lay my ttops flat, but not much room. Thought about the storage compartments, but the battery is in the way. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I installed a Pioneer 1500 Mosfet 50. Had to cut my bezel to make it fit but it was worth the hassle. Rear Speakers are 6 X 9 240 watt Pioneers sitting in a custom (Homemade) speaker enclosure. My enclosure is about 3 3/4 thick and I still can get my T-Tops to lay flat. If you build your own speaker enclosure make sure it is sealed shut. Use 3/4 inch plywood...I caulked my entire enclosure after it was screwed together. Sounds a heck of a lot better than the stock speaker setup.

Its hard to see but you get the idea. the roll bar takes up so d*** much space. It sucks.
