Hmm, googling Tannoy gives this:


Not really sure about the sound from them but could easily be installed on the roll bars.

Googling Coax speaker :



Think I will stick to the Alpine that I just ordered.

Tannoy make all kinds of speakers but they basically invented the type of speaker you show at the bottom, coaxial. Take a look at Absolute Sound or any high end audio publication and you will see Tannoy receiving all kinds of accolades. In England some people call all speakers ‘Tannoys’ like they call all vacuum cleaners ‘Hoovers’
