    Has anyone hooked up a home entertainment style soundbar to their in dash stereo?
    I find it difficult sometimes to hear the stereo in my (somewhat noisy) T2000 and was thinking a soundbar perched on the dash aimed right at me might improve the sound quality.
    Any one here have such a set up and do you like the way it performs? I know it will require an inverter to run on a 12 v system. Will the invereter create any noise/interference in the speakers?
    Pictures of your set up would be excellent too! Cheers!

    Not to sound dumb, but have you tried "rolling" your stereo speakers to the drivers side on your radio adjustment?

    I do just that and the truck speakers aren't terrible... but I thought that maybe a sound bar aimed at chest level might do the trick.

    That would be sweet. Not difficult to install. Of course easier if you just upgrade your sound system but if you don't own the truck, thats one way to go. Last long you don't decide to use headphones while driving

    Not sure how that would stand up to the pounding it would take bouncing down the road.
