Vehicle audio system

A vehicle audio system for a truck having a truck bed defined by a first bed panel, a second bed panel and a third bed panel, the vehicle audio system comprising:

• a first transducer being configured to be operably coupled to a first channel of an amplifier, the first transducer having a base configured to be mounted to an inner surface of the first bed panel, the first transducer causing the first bed panel to vibrate and create an audio output;
• and
• a second transducer being configured to be operably coupled to a second channel of the amplifier, the second transducer having a base configured to be mounted to an inner surface of the second bed panel, the second transducer causing the second bed panel to vibrate and create an audio output;
• wherein the first and second channels are independently controlled to obtain a desired audio output from the vehicle audio system.

A vehicle audio system for a vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle panel having an inner surface and an outer surface, the outer surface defining an exterior surface of the vehicle;
• a source unit producing an audio signal;
• an amplifier receiving the audio signal and providing at least one output based on the audio signal;
• an interior audio assembly comprising a speaker mounted within the cabin of the vehicle, the interior audio assembly being operably coupled to the amplifier and configured to receive the at least one output from the amplifier to create audio output interior of the vehicle;
• an exterior audio assembly comprising a transducer mounted to the inner surface of the vehicle panel, the transducer being operably coupled to the amplifier and configured to receive the at least one output from the amplifier, the transducer having a base mounted to the inner surface of the vehicle panel, the transducer causing the vehicle panel to vibrate and create an audio output exterior of the vehicle.
