Re: moving soundbar to front of rollbar
With my 87 YJ I never had a choice but to put it above my head due to
the roll bar style (after market bar but thicker than a stock sound
bar) and it has never been been a problem...... but then again I'm
only 5'-10.

Huh, my '95 YJ came stock with the soundbar in the front.
Of course I've got bigger speakers on the rear wheel wells now, and
the one remaining speaker in the sound bar has been re-routed to be an
external speaker for the CB.

Re: moving soundbar to front of rollbar
Well, I'm only 6' (if I stand up straight!) but I've got the proportions of
a midget....all body.
I've got issues with my rear view mirror being right in the middle of my
vision....might move it to the very top of the windshield yet....
