 Thinking of adding a sound bar to the broncoI was reading all of the threads on classicbroncos.com about speakers.
Of all the things I saw, sound bars out of a jeep seemed to give the most bang for the buck because they can come with a built in amplifier and map lights. Here's one that I found on ebay and think might fill my needs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-spk-Je ... ioQ5fVideo Does anyone have any better solutions? |

Re: Thinking of adding a sound bar to the bronco I used VDP's 6 speaker setup.... built for Cheeps. $169 from Amazon but I tossed the speakers and put in a set of 5 1/4 Kickers based on feedback from other users. I have NOT wired it yet.
It did not fit inside of the outer bars of my Tom's Bronco Family Cage. I had the speaker bar before welding in the cage and could not find a way to make it fit.... the speaker bar is 2" too wide. So, I modified the brackets that come with the VDP unit and hung it below the tubes using weld-nuts in the upper tubes. It fits behind the front seat headrest and doesn't seem to take up any 'important' space. The mounting bosses are tapped for M6x1.0 threads. |

Re: Thinking of adding a sound bar to the bronco There are a few great options. One is the VDP may be like bickhart's:

Re: Thinking of adding a sound bar to the bronco I like all the options people have shown. We used a used set of wake board tower boat speakers on Jonah's. They worked out great, look good and are weather resistant.

Re: Thinking of adding a sound bar to the bronco Whatever you do for sound, plan on 'more'. The VDP sound bar I used is only a foot or so from my ears, but with head-unit power I can't even hear it at highway speeds with the top off. I have quiet mufflers and medium tire roar. I'm adding an amps and another set of speakers / subs.

Re: Thinking of adding a sound bar to the bronco I'd like to upgrade my system as well. The two 6x9's in the back is barely enough. But I think I'm ok with doing without a radio and having just a USB interface with an amp.
