Am I the only one who hates the soundbar?

Pulled the soundbar off today. My rear passengers are always hitting their head on it. Totally different view from the rear now. Did a little tinkering and I think I can remount the speakers in the sport bar behind the rear seat. Will update soon.

I removed the sportbar covering and put the speakers in against the plate in the intersection of the sportbar in the rear of my 4 door. I zip-tied each corner with the speaker cover in place and around each point of the bar. Then it was just a matter of splicing and re-routing the wiring, trimming the foam spacers and replacing the cover. Now I need to mount grab handles in place where the soundbar was.

I know this an old post, but have you had any issues with this setup or have any changes that you would make? I am going to give this a try in the next couple of weeks.

My tj soundbar sucked

I figure its a necessary evil, gotta put rear speakers somewhere but I don't want to give up any cargo space in the back

My issue is my 2 year old hits head when you take him out of his seat, by taking it out he has plenty of room getting in and out. Other than that it is fine, but no 2 year old head trauma wins in thise case...
