Default Truck Bed Speakers

Has anybody put them in? I plan on going tailgating rather often, and I can't always open the doors to lisin to my music. Does anyone have pics of an install or something? I just wanted something to base my project off of.

heres the way to do it,
get a couple plastic or fiberglass speakerboxes, install a couple marine grade speakers in them, wire to a switch to your radio, so you can turn them off when driving around town.
then you're good.

I used to have a acouple of crappy 6x9's that I would keep in the box for tailgating. just ran wires out the back sliding window and to the speakers. if you have a tunno cover then they will last longer, if not, I would go with marine speakers.

I'm thinking about installing a second battery somewhere and building a box. I'm not sure though, I will be sure to supply pics when/if I do.

wow dude that would be sick to have rear speakers. i was just talking to a friend one day and how intense would it be to have like 6-15'' speakers in your bed? make it waterproof and in some sort of a removeable box so that way you could cruise around and tailgate with some rocking bass. it would be expensive but if i ever win the lottery... if
