I mounted the Rock'in Radio bar over head, between the roll bar. I have a 1000-5 with the soft mid panel with a zip out window. With that being said if I find the need for more sound in the rear I will another 4 speaker sound bar with an amp or move my 4 speaker sound bar to the rear and add 2 single speaker sound pods offered by Rock'in Radio's. What you could do to stay away from an amp is purchase 4 speaker pods 2 in front and 2 in back with infinity speakers and head unit. The Infinity products sound great 50 watts per channel it jams well. Rock'in Radios brackets worked great and are cheap call and talk to Tony he will fix you up. Also I mounted my head unit in the dash where the warning sticker was. I used a piece of pebbled plastic from Amazon and 4 factory push pins it worked great. I will add some photos tomorrow.

I know I'm going wetsounds 6.5 inch speakers don't know 2 or 4 and I'm going to run an amp and I really want a CD player just don't know where I'm going to put it yet. I just have to wait for the money to free up trying to get the house ready for the new addition (baby) coming in a few months first then back to accessories

You cant beat Rock'in radios sound bars, it's great he offers the empty and you can add your own components.I know I'm going wetsounds 6.5 inch speakers don't know 2 or 4 and I'm going to run an amp and I really want a CD player just don't know where I'm going to put it yet.

What I did to save a few bucks is purchase the Infinity head unit and 2 speakers together just google Infinity MPK250 it is a nice kit. It includes the head unit ,2 speakers, antenna, Water proof Aux. port, aux cable and a rubber face cover to put on when pressure washing. The head unit will take wash with a sponge and rinse with a house, I wouldn't hit any head unit with a pressure washer. Just my personal preference but I don't like Jensen or JBL. IMO you want 225 watt max speakers and put no lower than 50 watts to them. It worked great for me. CD players is a whole different set of issues, my type of riding it would skip bad and a Din chassis was to big IMO.
Yea I think I'm going to go with there two pods and mount then where I see fit. As of for radio I just have all my music on cds and have nothing on an iPod or phone that's why I prefer cds. In my commander I had a Kenwood CD player and it was great. I have the same one in my boat and the same speakers that's why I really want to go wetsounds they just cost a bunch of money.I know I'm

The Wet Sounds bars are great plug and play, my brother has a 10 in his Razor. I find they lack bass for the money. I have no experience with their other speakers.
I was a little skeptical about Rock'in Radios when I 1st found them. Just because I couldn't find much to read about them on the forums. As soon as I talked to them on the phone and received their product I was blown away. Tell Tony the Tool & Die Maker from Pittsburgh referred you. The "P" roll bar mounts look cheap at 1st but once I started installing they worked great and are a solid product.

@dale5740 I don't know if this is a concern, but I know some people had trouble with the Jensen radio and the 700 with the radio hitting a cross member behind the dash. They make a newer version of the Jensen w/ bluetooth but it looks to long to fit in dash of my 700. I don't know what the depth of the JBL is but might be something you want to look at.
thanks for the heads up Im more than likely gong with the JBL do u know if that was the same issue?

I don't know for sure. I just thought I would bring it up. This thread has got me questioning maybe the possibility that I should go with the JBL, but the hard part is that I already have my custom made panel from mystic for the Jensen. I would feel really bad if I told him he messed up making it, and I need the bigger hole because he should have known I was going to change my mind. I see the Boss radio is also the same hole dimension as the Jensen so there is another option. I talked with Dick on the other forum and he said to pay attention to the depth because there might not be room. Don't know if there is a problem with the 1000 with a cross member in the way or not. Keep everyone informed on what you do.
I will. Don't get the boss they are junk, and u can use the JBL u just have to make the hole a little bigger.

Just figured I'd throw this out there that SSV works is working on something. They are a few months out though from when I talked to them a while ago. I've been using one of these bungee corded between the seats for now haha 18-volt Jobsite Radio/Charger | Milwaukee Tool
my switch panel only allows for the 3 inch diameter because I got 8 switches. can anyone recommend a stereo that accommodates the 3 inch? I know about the Jensen and the boss. boss is out for me but wanted to know if anyone else had found any other choices in the round 3 inch. If not I noticed several model jensens witch one or should I just get the most expensive model and hope its the best!

I mounted the MTX MUDSYS 46 sound bar in the top of my roll bar, AM/FM Radio, Bluetooth, USB port, also has mesh pockets for a few iPod / smartphones as well as an overhead LED map light. Has 4 x 6 1/2" speakers 280 watts get very loud and plays very clear at trail speeds.
Mounted in my P1000:
Video in action at 10-20 mph on the trail:

I am 6'7" tall so i was worried about my head hitting it during hard riding? And I don't have anyone around me that has one to see so wasn't sure. Also it was a little out of my price range as well. Real nice!!!

It sits forward of your head a good bit, I'm 6'1" and have a good 8" overhead clearance even if I am under it. I will estimate it runs 3" below the bottom of the roll bar at the top. It is not cheap but I got a good deal on it (about $180 off) and for the way it is built I fell it is worth it for one compact unit. I would buy one again or go with a ProBox Rocks roof Option 2 with the 800 watt amp, but it is 3X the price of the MUDSYS even though it is a roof with 4 LED light bars integrated into it.

that roof prob wouldn't work with your hard mid cab? prob have to mod it anyway

It's only plastic, I have a dremel tool and a heat gun.
Does that MTX have a quick release power plug so you could take the top off easily if you wanted to?

It is not attached to the roof in any way bolts directly to the ROPS. You could make a quick disconnect power connection but as is it s set up to be hard wired.
