Default Freewheeler Speaker Mounting

Has anyone mounted speakers on a Freewheeler? I have a friend with a new FW and she would like to mount the speakers between the rear fenders and the seat/body, basically in the area where the passenger legs would be. This would mean cutting and drilling into the body, so a very clean, quality and permanent mounting is crucheal. Thanks for any ideas

I use ear buds. I can listen to whatever I want loud enough to make my eyes bleed and not bother a soul.

I was talked out of those by dealer, most likely due to my very poor hearing at speed

I think she looked at the bar mounts, but wants them in the area mentioned. It will be just speakers and an amp and receiver that will be hidden and use a cell phone to blue tooth or plug into a USB connection. I think it would look good and work there but just to scared to cut into the body, it could hurt the resale if it's not a good fit.

No way I would cut into the body or have anyone else for that matter. That could be a very expensive mistake.Just get creative and mount the speakers somewhere else. Don't know if lowers will fit on crashbars with the Freewheeler being brand new but that's a good place for speakers.
