I installed a pioneer sub and put it on my rear tailgate. It puts out so much more than I could have ever imagined.
Let me know if you want more details.
Sorry for the far pic but you can get an idea of what I did.

If nothing else, it shows what is possible. I built one myself (couple jeeps ago) I may still have it ..... MDF, Glued screwed and covered with automotive felt. I made it downward firing and honestly it was hard to tell it was in there (looks wise) sounded great. Cost me maybe $50 to make sans the driver.
I mounted the amp under the passenger seat but I'm thinking of relocating it behind the glove box
Yes it powers all the speakers with more than enough juice to hear crystal clear sound even with all the doors off.
Note: I switched out all the factory speakers as well
Awesome! Exactly what im wanting to do. I have the speakers to.swap now. So im an idiot with this stuff lol, how hard is it to wire the amp into all this along with the new sub?
I would have a stereo store install the amp and the speakers for you. I didn't take the initiative to try to do it because it seemed a bit tricky considering there are fuse amps/relays that need to be wired from the battery - plus a wire running with power from the battery all the way to the back of the Jeep etc etc.
Count me in with the guys looking forward to close-ups. I'd love to get a little low end response, but having a 2-door limits my options and I try to leave the top down during the summer so that REALLY limits my options.
The link appears to be a downward firing sub enclosure w/driver (almost identical to the one I built for my '05 Rubicon 2door)
You mounted that to your back gate?

Yeah. It sits perfect on there. I will be taking pics over the weekend to show how I did it.
For some reason it gives more bass then I ever imagined getting from a 10" sub.
I'm more than pleased - especially at the price point of $100
I installed new headboard and then 2 kicker hideaway speakers under my front seats. Adds plenty of bass for me and is not even noticeable. I drive a 2 door but my friend liked them so much he bought 4 for his and put one under each seat, perfect for a 4 door.
First off, a 10" sub can absolutely put out some Bass and secondly - the enclosure was built to accomodate (internal volume) the 10" driver so again complimenting the Bass output.
I think (maybe) some assumed the Sub was cut into the back gate cavity which is practically impossible for a variety of reasons.
As long as the 6" or so of intrusion into the internal storage area isn't an issue.....
I will reiterate to those who are handy, building these boxes is pretty easy but at $100 incl the driver - that one you got is tough to beat.
I'll say this about that. There is pride in pointing to something of interest and saying, "Yes, I built that".
It's what stories over a beer are made of.
I have it mounted under my rear passenger side seat. You'd never know it is there if looking in the Jeep with the top off. And the sound is exactly what I'm looking for. The amp is built in, so no need to purchase a separate power supply. The only downside is that it takes away the ability to easily fold down that side of your rear seat.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow so you can see how stealthy it is.
This is why I went with my option and placed it on the tailgate.
No issues with folding down the seat. No problems with narrowing your cargo area.
I'm very happy.
Nevertheless sweet setup on everyone's jeep
