Wake tower cans are an option.

If you haven't ordered yet, consider just getting the receiver and ordering wake speakers separate. Better quality one's recommended, looks like Stiff is running some Polk's 👍...Boss speakers sound like sh** IMO.

X2 on the wake speakers. I ordered the same set up u have listed. I ended up using the receiver and ordered 4 wake speakers for the 1000-5. A year later we used those speakers in the 3 seater. We put the speakers inside of 6" pvc caps and used clamps from tractor supply to mount the to the roll cage.

You can find Polk Audio on Amazon.
The DBI 6.5 " or 5.25" series are Marine certified and sound great. If you add an amplifier, they will blow you away.
But....let's talk about how much you want to spend and how good of sound your after.
The Polks are great, but a wake tower enclosure will cost more than the Polk speaker. Appx $ 89 for 2 tower cans plus another $58 ish for a pair of decent 5.25" or 6.5" Marine rated Polk. Did I say amp.
You can get preloaded tower speakers cheaper, but you get... well. If you just want music and maybe hear it while riding, you can pay less for a Boss or other budget tower speakers.
If you want great out of the box sound and quality, go Polk with Rockville cans. Then add a small amp and you will make a great sounding budget UTV system.
Opinions will vary by ownership...
Look at Azon offerings for wake bar tower speakers.
Pay attention to higher RMS ratings that are CE certified(real) and speakers that are IP67 marine rated.
The Boss head is really low budget but it does put out about 15 ish watts per channel and enough to make 4 speakers sound ok, without an amp.. did I say amp.
I know, too much.
I also have 6.5's on motorcycles with amps you can entertain for a half mile.
Polk are good quality and affordable.
*** Rockville Wake Tower Speakers are often Polk speakers in Rockville enclosures. Might be a good and affordable option.
You could also use 5.25" speakers with that Boss or similar head unit.
Polk's component speakers are higher end, better sound..
Ok I'm done.
Search stereos on the forum and hold on for a ride

I mounted mine to a piece of 3/4" plywood (painted black). I cut the plywood the right size to fit to front/back of roll bar and used heavy plastic ties for mounting to the roll bar.

That can't be overstated! Have read threads where a small cheap system was installed and the poster claimed it shook the trees, highly unlikely but as long as he's happy with it. Have also heard elaborate high end systems that sounded terrible, ultimately it's the user's ear that sets the tune.

Quick story: when my boy was in high school, got his license, first car and all that, got a solid old Cavalier for a couple grand and wanted to put in his first stereo. Claimed there was a rich kid at school, big SUV that could rattle windows in the parking lot. Don't know much about it but gathered he had 12's in a band pass box, meant lots of boom and not much clarity but the envy of all I'm sure. :rolleyes:
I think he had to buy a cheap head unit and door speakers but the rest was thrown together with old stuff I had in the garage, couple of Kenwood 10's in a sealed box was the bottom end, put a tune on it and told him to leave it alone.
The rich kid got smoked and apparently everyone wanted to ride in the "Cavvy" from then on, including the rich kid.
