Boy it looks us folks with 95's have been pretty busy... I just recently
added the Pyle HD-8 (2 8" woofers and 2 2.25" tweeters in a box) to the rear
cab. NIce price too! ($129.00). I added a pair of those heavy duty clothes
hooks that you screw into a wall to the box so it hooks to the foldup seats
and doesn't move around, and can be removed fom the cab for extra
passengers, and safe keeping. Next step is to add an amp (4in-4out). Only
problem is that there is NO FRIGGING ROOM in the cab of these trucks! I want
to keep as much of this stuff hidden, and the wiring mess to a minimum. Any
ideas??
