Relocated soundbar to rear of middle tube so it’s tucked up out of way and gives a much better even sound front to rear. Got light bar back up inside windshield and with shorter brackets so it isn’t hanging way down in way since I’m 6’ 5”. Now rear view mirror actually works since soundbar is out if way.

I like the sound bar location. I might try that on the next time I remove windshield and roof.

Got windshield in and installed. Love the windshield but having to rework snorkel, lightbar, wiring and vent tubes. Snorkel can’t push to front of bar anymore because of windshield so now it blocks the grab handle. The lightbar was angled forward and now with brackets straight down it seems too low so I need shorter brackets.

so correct me if I a, wrong but did you have that led light on the inside of your machine? rc told me that was a no, no... you will get a big reflection... I would love to do mine that way because then I can go with any width light bar up to 54.0" if I do it on the outside I can only go with a 52.0" bar and drill holes in the a pillar...I do not want do this.... also I wanted to get the brackets like you have and have the light mounted on the outside under the roof... but there is just no room between the top bar and Honda 2 piece windscreen to fit my application.. I do not want to cut a slit in the windscreen.. I may have to fab something up myself... I blacksmith on the side so I may have to just get a piece of flat steel, heat it up and put a half twist in it... here is your shorter bracket...

What size is that powerbass? Im looking at getting the xl800 or xl1000. How loud is it? Can your hear it at 60-65mph? Also is there a switch to shut the power off to the soundbar? I'm reading a lot about how these soundbars are draining the battery's if left hooked up without a switch to power it off. Thank you!

XL800 and it’s very loud. No bass of course but great quality sound. I don’t have a switch on it and have not had an issue with battery but I do have the dual battery setup. It powers itself off after 10min of no activity.

Turning the bar facing down improved the sound quality tremendously and allows front and rear seat to hear at same level
