Default custom front bumper

So I was searching online for pictures of bumpers that I may like well came across this.

Well Their is some changes I would want to make with this bumper for my truck but the two black circles I was thinking about mounting a pa speaker or two flesh in the bumper.Now I have looked online and cant find any info, But is it bad to hook up two pa speakers to one cb with a splitter? *Thank you for any input.

A pa speaker located there would pack up with bugs and dirt so fast....Splitter? No. Tie in parallel, but whatever is driving it would need to be able to handle the load.

I have always thought lifted duallys that were running enormous single tires are really cool looking.

Go on dodgeoffroad.com, they sell a bumper called road rhino, looks just like the roadarmour but 1/2 the price. You can get a weld it yourself kit for about 800 plus shipping the last time I looked.

Weld it your self is $595 + $200 shipping, pre built is $895 + $400 shipping. 3/8" plate steel.

I would think that enough googling... a person could find a set of plans for that. Shipping plate steel seems like a terrible waste of money.

More than likely they come pre press brake bent & laser cut. That stuff ain't cheap. That's the way we used to build them when I did it.

If it was built that way, I would guess the only welded seams are as shown. Sorry it's attached, this is the best I can do at work.



If it is done that way, $600 isn't bad, when you put all that together with the price of steel. Press brake creases make for a much stronger bumper than welding every single section.
