Abstract

A speaker box (1) for a sport utility vehicle (4). The speaker box (1) is pivotally mounted (9) to the sports bar (2) of the vehicle (4) and can be selectively pivoted relative to the bar (2) to a plurality of positions (V,H,F). In one position (H), the sound from the speakers of the speaker box (1) is directed downwardly as in convention designs. However, unlike conventional designs, the speaker box (1) and its sound can also be directed rearwardly of the vehicle (4) for parties and other gatherings such as at composites or on the beach. Further, the speaker box and its sound can be directed slightly forward (F) toward the front of the vehicle (4) if desired.
