Wakeboard speakers on crash bars?

I did a search, but found nothing, so sorry if this has been discussed before: does anybody have experience with wakeboard speakers, the kind that come in their own enclosure, mounted to the crash bars (in about the same place as the golve boxes or speakers on HD lower fairings? Below is what I was thinking about, especially since they are designed to be heard 30 to 50 feet away behind a loud boat and come ready to mount to a bar of similar diamter to the crash bar.

Thanks in advance for any comments on this general concept.

They look kind of bulky, I'd have to see them mounted.

Yeah, agree that it may be bulky and ugly...but loud...will have to give t more thought. In the meantime, these speakers below are a tad smaller...and I am sure there are even smaller versions out there. Thanks.

Don't know about the Crash bar but in the tour pak would be a quick way to install thats for sure. 95db x 2 yup that could work well.

I had a system on my road king that mounted to the highway bars. It was molded cups to hold the speakers, 2 - 6.5 speakers. Had an amp ,ousted under the side cover to power them. I still have the system, if you are interested Pm me for more details.
