Yeah, my work truck rarely gets going that fast. Occasional trips across the state, but I'm usually out of my radio system coverage. Usually it's much slower. The truck is nearly 10 years old and it's got just 25,000 miles on it. Working on swapping it out for a full size here next budget cycle. Too much crap to carry with me, and not enough secured space in the small truck.
Maybe mixing audio together and using one speaker would be a good solution. At least you'd only have to mount one speaker in the prime location.
I put 50,000 on my pickup last year…a 10 year old truck with under 30k just amazes me. One of my favorite trucks was a farm truck…run into the ground 1 ton dodge. Reason it was one of my favorites, 1.3 million miles on the original engine and transmission. Turbo (not TRBO) went out and at that point it wasn't worth fixing.
I had thought about that. If I get a console I may still do it but I'd use a transformer combo instead of a mixer to utilize the nice push-pull amps Motorola is kind enough to include with the radio. If there was more room in the back of the things I'd refurbish a vintage /\/\ speaker I've got and hide the transformers back there.
