Default Wolfe 5-6 point roll bar question

This question has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it in a search. I was wondering if I install the one that goes through the rear speakers will I have to get rid of them or is there a way that I could still have them. TIA

I've seen a couple of cars that they were able to move the rear speakers a few inches to get the bar to fit ..

bspz28: Thanks for the info. I have to get one but was debating on which one to get just because of this reason.

LOL.. I haven't done it yet..

But, you can move the speakers back just enough to clear and redrill holes and remount them.

you realize that technically that the bar is supposed to go to floors[pge 205 nhra 04 rule book] to be legal not the wheel tubs ,you should check with your local track or tech to see if they allow it there and if a bolt in bar the bar has to be welded together to also be legal,just something to check on before you install it.

That's where I have mine, nobody has said a word about them going to the fenderwells. As far as moving the speakers, Wilwaxu has seen mine before, you just have to relocate the speakers themselves back some. They are two little speakers, not the 6x9's.
