I bought a Ecoxgear sound bar from Amazon. Installation I did myself, probably the easiest installation I have ever done. The mounting brackets that come with it require drilling to mount on your cart, but I found a mount for it that is made specifically for my Yamaha Drive2, allows you to bolt it using the bolts on your cart that hold your roof on. I bolted it in the rear of my cart. The bar has a light the length of the bar on the back so you can use it as an extra tail light. Also has lights in the speakers. You have the option of changing the light colors or not using the lights at all. The Bluetooth feature works flawlessly. It has great sound and plenty of volume. Before I bought this I did what many suggested and used a portable JBL speaker. Sound quality was Ok at best. As far as worrying about someone stealing it? Highly unlikely since it is bolted in with 4 bolts that hold your top on. I would not leave my cart out over night, but I never did that before I installed the sound bar. It is of course pricier than a portable speaker but you get what you pay for. Again the sound quality is like night and day compared to a small portable speaker. It also comes with a remote. I love mine. I link it up with my iPhone and my music playlist. Again installation is a piece of cake, just 3 wires, pos neg and a ground wire. The wiring harness also has a fuse in line and it’s plenty long enough to reach your battery.
