Well you fold a towel and put on the top of the crate.

When you get really good I can come over and you we can build a cage for my sub
I like it!
Good solution to the problem.
Any cage in a truck is gonna be a compromise and that's not even much of a compromise
Only nit pick I have is I would likely put a bar in your small rectangle. It will add strength but mostly cause I hate non diagonal shapes in cages

Can't sleep so you have my 3:34 am attention. 
It's always hard to see what will work without looking at spaces and dimensions in person but here is my armchair quarterback suggestion on the roof.
May I humbly submit to you the idea of going full corner to corner with your main bars. Then horizontally V ing into that horizontal x node from your vertical V in the b pillar plane. Then come from that intersection with a single leg straight forward to an upside down V (with a smaller tube and spread for visibility) for the windshield bars tying into the dash bar i assume you'll have.

I’ll draw it on bend-tech and see what it looks like.
Updated halo
I shall call you cage, Asterisk *
Looks strong AS **** to me . . . but I like to build things that way

yeah I agree. The B Pillar "V" might end up being a little narrower but it's close anyway. Notches should be fun.....lol
Meh, notching won't be that bad, you got this. That program will generate paper templates too won't it?
yes the program will create templates but I haven't tried using that feature yet. I think I can do it without, the notcher has enough flexibility that I shouldn't need to notch anything by hand.
I think the real benefit of the template would be aiding in the alignment of your starts and keeping everything in plane but you can do the latter decently with a level or a digital or mechanical angle finder and piece of scrap tube mocked in place of each initial notch for the compound notches
I would create the notch templates. Those are gonna be kind of tricky.
just save all the pieces you notch out so you can weld them back in. Hehe
Shhhhhhh. You don't talk about that
From what I can tell the program does not create templates for all the notches, specifically those "with multiple possible nodes". There is a total of 7 templates available for the whole B Pillar and Halo assembly.
I'll still print and use what I can....
