Rear sound bar speakers: <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=504731"/> 5 channel amp under passenger seat in aluminum mount made by a guy on this forum (although I had to flip it over to allow for room for my air compressor underneath it. His craftsmanship is excellent): <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=504732"/> 10" Rockford shallow sub in altered oem sub housing. Made by Matt on this thread. Then he line x'd it. For my needs, it's perfect. It is wired to 1 or 2 ohms (can't recall) so I believe it's getting somewhere between 150 and 300 watts. Speakers get 50 watts per channel. I'm 41 years old, so I didn't need crazy bass. But I'm telling you, this setup sounds really good. Hits hard and sounds crisp and clean, even with top off. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=504733"/> Need to take shot of Pioneer head unit. It's the nicest non-nav unit and has a removable faceplate that I lock in the vault under my drivers seat. I installed it myself. Has steering wheel control and rear camera that I mounted to the bumper with 3M VHB (very high bond) tape right above my trailer hitch. I tow weekly, so it's perfect for me. Would rather have it higher, but it gets the job done. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=504737"/> Let me know if anyone needs better pics. All in all, I'm totally satisfied and would recommend this setup to anyone.

I flipped the aluminum tray I bought on the forum over and as a result the amp is 3-4" above the floor (possibly 5-6"). It could literally pour down rain in the jeep and the entire floorboards would have to fill before it ever got to the amp. The top of the amp just barely touches the very back of the seat bottom when I slide the seat all the way forward. I'd say a bigger concern would be overheating in the dead of summer due to lack of space above the amp more so than ever worrying about water.
I'm telling you guys that this is an awesome setup. A single amp doing everything. It really sounds great (although not the cheapest option out there). I'm confident that this is the last stereo system this jeep will ever see.

Btw I still have a pair of those rear speakers for sale, brand new, if you're interested. I was going to run them front and rear, but decided to spend the money and get the nicer ones up front (external crossover units). Pm me if you're interested. There might be a little something extra in the deal for the buyer!
