Default Rushmore RGS horn location

So recently I was in a minor accident which resulted in my hand/arm/elbow going through the right speaker....which means time to upgrade once it gets back from the shop.

I’m going to go with hertz 6.5s and Hertz st25/35, haven’t decided yet.

My question is has anyone tried to mount the horn above the radio under the windshield? I’ve never had a pair of horns so maybe I’m wrong that just seems like a good location pointing right at you...I’m most likely going to go with the hard bag kit to replace fuel/voltage. Just curious if anyone tried this or if anyone makes a molded top Dash? Piece to fit horns.

Is there room there for a horn? Maybe I'm confused on where it would mount.

I know some ppl mount them on the inside of the inner faring facing the riser/triple tree section so they're facing left and right.

I mounted mine in the grill. Used the diamond horns that have a shallow mount, but still had to use a spacer to get them off my 6.5 speakers enough.

Under their radio or in the gauges and use the speedo screen for miles left in gas.

yeah I know the regular options, I’m probably going to go gauges. Just wondering why nobody‘a put them up top. Figured one of these company’s would have made a replacement cover with horns molded by now

Get some tweeter pods from dirty bird and mold them onto the vent lid.

But that dash assembly and windshield comes off when taking the fairing off, so keep that in mind if you do put them there.

yes I know I would put quick disconnects similar to the blinkers form when that has to come off.

I have neither the skills to mold something there myself or the money to have someone make me a one off custom dash piece. was more just wondering if

A) someone did make one and i missed it or

B) has someone done it and if so can you share pics

B) there was a reason that nobody has that I’m not aware of
