I am looking forward to seeing some pictures. My son and his wife live in Spring,Tx. He is currently in optometry school at the University of Houston. They both drive Jlu’s, a pink one and snazzberry.

Pretty cool! Just curious about how you will keep the interior trim from rattling? Mine rattles everywhere with the factory Rubicon system.

They are installing Dynomat everywhere so that should help considerably.
Not sure yet what will still rattle. Will hopefully find out soon.

Following. Im in the process of this as well. In the end I’ll have 1kw pushing 2 CT Sounds Meso 6.5” Subs. And 150w to each corner pushing 2way seperates in the sound bar and 3 ways in the dash.

Negative. I have the lil subs bolting to the floor right behind the front seats and am building a seat delete to go over them for the pooches.

They are hefty lil 6.5’s. The biggest concern was stealthiness for top /door off security. But now I’m thinking 4 8’s or 10’s in a downfiring wedge fluch to the back wall. I use the bed, so blow through is not an option.

I just completed this in my JTR, no sound deadning either. I get why but to me with the M/T tires what am I gaining? Doors off, roof off . .etc. Also, really have zero rattles either pre or post on the build and install. I used an Audio Control LC5.1300, single DVC 10, sealed enclosure and Boston Pro 6.5's front and rear. Sub hits hard playing 30s-N-Low by Bass Patrol.

That’s really cool man. I tired my hand in fiberglass a few years back in a corvette and had nothing to show for it but a huge ass mess and crappy outcome lol. (had no clue what I was doing).
Well done sir.

Thanks. YouTube is the hero here along with the right resin. US Composites 435 Standard Poly Lay resin. Good long work time and very little shrinkage if any.
