Truck Bed Speakers
Has anyone ever done it? Mostly looking to have some sort of outdoor speakers. For camping and when we go dirtbiking. Is there a way to wire it so they will only come on if a switch is flipped? Thinking something like these in black of course Insignia™ - 130W 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair) - NS-E2111

Thanks in advance Alex

personally id rather add an amp and put the speakers in the grill that way your music sounds pretty clean outside the truck if you have a sub and you can rock it all the time

I just open the doors crank the stereo up and start occasionally to keep the battery from going dead...

Just ask Trent, Scott, Joey, or Dustin they will tell you mine works great for that

Sounds like a good idea, but really almost seems like a waste,

I did have a Filipino buddy who had some speaker on the outside of his expedition it was pretty sweet. but he kept having problems with them and i dont think it was worth it... Of course he wasent using marine speakers or anything waterproof

I think that's a sweet idea.

I don't like leaving my doors open all the time

I think a custom built box, marine speakers, an amp wired to a seperate battery would work good

If it's permanently mounted it would be nice if they were waterproof
