Gannicus been messing with that Hennessy or something got his buzz on a lil bit...if moneys not to tight theres more options now...you can run stock lowers with tons of options for 6.5 or you can run something like the dirtybird lowers that can house a pro audio 8 AND horn for good sound up front...runs a set of SBD lids in back with another 8 and horn...put a solid amp like the jl audio 600/6...runs horns on 2 channels...1 set of 8s on 2 channels and the other set of 8s on 2 channels...should have plenty of power...good separation and adjustability

LOL!! Did you guys not read the part where he said he changed his mind and wanted to go with cans on the roll bars? Not too many options there. I was giving him an option that I’ve actually heard for his cans. Now for the rest of the system the sky is the limit!!

An option that may work is look up or google wakeboard tower speaker cans. Lots of choices.

Rockville makes some cans that are pretty reasonable.

Fair enough. OMG I’m turning into T!! LOL! I might just need a Snickers!! On a serious note uplandpinter is my guy and I would never steer him wrong. The PBR is a stretch but maybe the speakers are decent. If you read those reviews from steelhorse audio. There’s not a bad one in the bunch. I’ll tell you what Brad. Bring the Roadking to the Next Midwest meet and greet and we’ll install a killer system in that thing. Charge all the speakers and amps to T’s credit card!! Me and the rest of the crew will do the install for free or we can just ship the thing to Alex in Miami and call it good. LOL!!
