Best Place for A Subwoofer?
you could fit one in the storage area under the seat of the 2 door. This will require some fabwork. I plan on building a box out of fiberglass to house 1 10" diamond audio shallow mount. It will have to get rid of current cover for it, and fabricate my own. This will be one of my summer projects for sure though.
Yeah, i'm talking about the little storage bin thing under the rear seat in the 2 door. I plan to finish it with a strong protective grille for the subwoofer as well as the amp, so i can still throw crap on it without worrying about popping the speaker. Will probably herculiner finish it. As far as "cement pounder".... i'm not sure how this in any way negates off road ability. But i sure do like blastin tunes at the beach.
One solution, assuming you dont want huge bass is to use the factory speaker locations as subwoofer enclosures. Companies such as Kicker, JL Audio & maybe others as well make 6.5" subwoofers. Kicker has a nice CompVR Shallow Sub that has around a 3" top mount depth and these may fit in either the dash or sound bar. The speakers would also be in a fairly weather resistent environment. They are a little over $100 each but you save on not having to design & build an enclosure. Another option is to just buy a nice set of component speakers with the biggest woofers you can cram into the factory holes that have the best bass response. Mount a small amp in the glove box or under/in the dash somehow & you're good to go. Out of site, protected from weather & fairly simple fabrication. I've thought of trying something like this one of these days but I'm saving for lift & tires first.
This is the box that I made for my 2dr. The back seat can not fold as easy though, that doesnt bother me cause I never carry anything that big and if I do I got a truck. When tailgate is closed it just looks like a shelf. The amp is underneath the shelf and the sub is firing down. It a 10" polk audio sub with an alpine amp. This set hits really hard, but I dont play it that loud.
