Default crash bar speakers

Anyone have pictures of speakers mounted on a crash bar? will this set up work at speeds of 65 even with a decent sized amp

What kind of bike do you have them on. are they the only speakers, do they work well at speeds over 65?

where did you keep the poweramp.. i was thinking of putting it in a bag and hanging it where the crashbars connect to the top of the frame
