So we’ve got a tv in our truck, but even at max volume it’s very hard to hear with all the other sounds, plus we drive refer so that makes it harder..
Right now we use a long aux cable to plug into the truck stereo and it works okay but it just doesn’t sound that great, we are thinking about buying a sound bar and mounting it under the top bunk, have any of you tried a sound bar? Do any of you have problems hearing your tv or is it just the tv we got?
Any recommendations on a decent priced and sounding sound bar? If so do you have pictures of how it was mounted?
Sound bar mounting and quality in the truck?

I’ve used noise cancelling head phones. Not what you are asking about, but they work great to block out the noise of your engine or others beside your truck.

My audio comes from the truck speakers....
Bluetooth, Aux cord, there's many ways to set it up. -
A really simple way to get better sound is to hook it up to a portable bluetooth speaker. They're small...doesn't take up much space...battery or 12v operated...and they sound great. It's amazing how good some of these bluetooth speakers sound. You can even buy two and use an auxillary splitter for an even more louder, stereo sound. I've used them on my laptop before for better sound.

I have a small one from Best Buy. I bought it back when I worked for Magnum. My tv has speakers on the bottom, and when I was pulling one of their Carrier units, I couldn't hear the tv. It was $40 or $50, the digital optical cable was a bit more pricy than I expected, but it was worth it. It has connection for bluetooth and RCA connections as well, so you can sync it to your phone and play music when you're not watching tv. It's only about 12" or so, but has more than enough sound to overpower the sound of a reefer. And I find it amazing how a single little sound bar can produce life like surround sound.
