Default Where to mount flags in bed?

Know there's been a thread about this and they decided pull your tail light off and bolt it to the bed... I think it a decent idea anyone else have a different setup?

Spring break is coming up so I'm figuring out what I'm gonna do any input is helpful

What flags will y'all be flying this spring break?

2nd question

Has anybody put an extra set of speakers in their bed for on the beach or tailgating?
Weather it be extra door speakers or home stereo speakers

For bed speakers, I suggest getting a set of boat speakers and just wiring them into your existing speakers with long leads so you can move them as far as you'd like

I'm curious about the flag also, every 4th of july and sept 11 I fly old glory on my bumper

Ya I've got some old 6x 9s I was thinking about. And wiring it to existing speakers is what I was guessing but wasn't sure.... I'm prolly gonna build some mounts to leave in my bed permanently

Maybe a metal or fiberglass box and use your tiedowns to secure them. I would suggest running the wire that would be exposed in/under the bed be ran in 3/8" flex

I'm trying to figure out how crazy I wanna go... Maybe a quick connect in the back ashtray and the old speakers and save money or run it through my switch panel and make me some nice boxes with marine speakers and spend money

If you pull the trim out of the back of the cab you can splice into the rear speakers and just run the wires out of those vents

I was wondering the same thing on the way to a recent football game, but I found the solution open the rear window, slide the flag between the seat and the rear wall. Close window
