ABSTRACT:
A speaker support bar supports a pair of speakers above a vehicle headliner. The speaker support bar is positioned vertically above the headliner, and thus the uniform appearance of the headliner is preserved. The speaker support bar extends between lateral support ends which transfer the weight of the speakers to the headliner over a wide area, and near the vehicle frame. Thus, the headliner is able to support the weight of the speakers. The invention also facilitates the pre-assembly of the headliner and its sound system prior to attachment of the headliner to the vehicle.
