I hadn’t seen that one. Definitely the cleanest I’ve seen now
I plan on making mine along those lines. Need to figure out how to fit 2 Xtant amps though.

Not me.. I would be fine with a fairly basic 5 channel amp under the passenger seat. I dont need big noise.. I just need it to be louder then the wind & tires when driving naked.

For my system, I removed the body panel behind the rear seats and mounted the amp and subwoofer boxes back there. I've attached some pictures but generally the sub box is about 36" long, 11.5" tall, about 2" deep at the top and 5" at the bottom. That fit two 8" subwoofers. I wanted to preserve the under seat boxes for storage; stuff like air compressors and general stuff for the winch...

Nice! Did you fabricate the enclosure or find it online?

Wow great job. I did the same thing today but i put this crutchfield truck box amd 12 in sub combo in. https://www.amazon.com/Rockford-Fos...ocphy=9030796&hvtargid=pla-568327921176&psc=1 It has this metal ring around the speaker that i took off because it made the seat a little tight closing, but after that it closed with just a little push. Now having a real speaker box instead of a powered sub makes a BIG difference especially with the right amp. So now I have some bump in the trunk. But i did upgrade everything. Kicker 3.5 in dash. Kicker 6 3/4 in the knee speakers with new speaker panel. Kicker 6x9 in the sound bar with custom inserts i made and if anyone wants the measurements and pix just message me. Kicker CX 360w amp for front speakers. Rockford Fosgate Punch P600x4 powering the 6x9s and sub. Now i did bridge 2 channels going to the sub so i have a constant 4ohm 300watts giving me some well needed boom boom boom
Still happy with the Rockford Sub?

Yep. It rocks. It thumps with the doors and roof off going 60 down the fwy. When driving a Jeep your sound system is all about hearing it with everything off. The factory sound system including the upgraded system is trash when driving down the fwy with everything off. You just cant hear it. Well that is maybe if you were riding in the back seat. I have one amp for the sub and one amp for everything else.

Finally finished and am happy for now. 22 Gladiator, CT Sounds 3 way Meso’s up front, 2way meso’s in the sound bar, and a DC Audio Level 2 10” sub in a Fox Acoustics vented box. 600w to the sub and 150 x 4 to the seperates.

started with 2 6.5” Meso subs in pre fabs, then 2 Sundown SA 6.5” in a Gately box. That was great, just not enough output.

Does that sound bar need its own Amp? Already changed the stereo to a stinger heigh10 and speakers with 6.5" DD audios and added an 800 watt Amp and a crossover and I'm thinking of running a 10" sub behind the back seat but I like that sound bar with four 8s and tweeters and might do that too

Following up on this. I am thinking of do the same thing. Couple questions- 1) If you were to "put a # to it what would you say the improvement over stock would be on a scale of 1-10? 2) Do you have a after all of it was installed back, meaning did the old trim piece fit back over the new sub or did you cut anything out? Thank you in advance for the help!
