First of all, take you attitude and shove it. I wasn't dogging your install..just saying I'm not doing it that way - because it would sound like ass. Sounding loud and sounding good are two different things.... And it is my opinion, to which I am entitled. I'm sure plenty of people will do things your way and that's fine. Just not me. Your entire post wasn't even related to the topic....we're talking about water and electricity here bud...moving on.
As far as the water goes, use rubber seal around drainhole plugs...that should keep the water away. If ur thinking about driving in 4 ft of water, then stop trying to put amps and subs in ur Jeep because that's just plain stupid. But obviously if u knew what u were doing, u wouldn't be out here asking people for help.

you are correct sir. i know it wont happen for a while cause i know it's gonna cost to get a custom stereo shop to weld. thats the only way i want it. welded and bolted in. then i might get everything line-x sprayed.

Have you thought about maybe using a regular amp and just spraying the Circuit board with a conformal coating? That is what most marine amps have on their motherboards. The other differences are in the epoxy/enamel coating on the outside (white), and I believe the inside of the connectors are corrosion resistant.
I am going with the MB Quart Nautic NAA665 for the Six Speakers and
maybe a JL Audio e1800D Amp for a DVC Sub. I might even Use an amp I have laying around and Use a conformal coating on it.
I wonder if you could waterproof the tub area with adding some weatherstripping to the Tuffy Cubby Cover... But then there would be no airflow and here we go again!

The more we talk and the more I think about it - just sounds to me like there truely is no "good" option here. Most likely I'll just have to pull the trigger and hope for the best.

Just curious, can you get wood/MDF (speaker boxes) line-x sprayed and if so, how well do you think they would take the abuse?

I would think linex/rhino would adhere to that just fine. Not a bad idea as well. If its on mdf, might need to rough up the surface a bit to give it something to bite to.

Jake...I know you want to waterproof your amp and all...but remember onet hing. You need to let your amp breathe some air too...don't make it air tight or else you'll be burning that amp....
