That’s great. I don’t expect it to have a factory look. Did you pout them on the side bar for better visibility or height reasons? I haven’t had the back seat installed in my blazer since I’ve had the roll bar in it. I don’t have much of an idea how much room I’ll have.

It was the best place to mount them. They are farther forward on the side bar than they appear. Initially I was going to mount them on the vertical bars behind the seats but chose this spot. Visibility is still great and sound is really good with the kick panels speakers in the front. The kick panels install easily as does the head unit and the speakers don't stand out too much looking from the outside.
