question about speaker location
 

has anyone ever tried or heard of modifiing the left rear cargo area for a 8 or 10 inch speaker i know about the speaker enclosures all over the place for the passenger side but id like to get a pair in there if possible

Might be a little tight, the fuel filler neck is there, limited space.:sneaky2:

no, not a cherokee?:lol:

what about in the rear tail gate

Thats where the stock speakers are located, I don't see any reason that with some Fab work you couldn't make em fit

not in my truck , they are in the ceiling... i have a 99 xj limited

Then I guess they changed it. in my 91 the stock mounting location for speakers in the rear is the back hatch

Yep the 97-01 XJ's are in a soundbar in the top,. There is alot of stuff in the driver side panel to install a box on that side. I was gonna make mine across from each other also until I took the panel off and saw how it was made. I changed my mind.

I was thinking about putting a 10 under the back seat.... probly on the driver side.. Anyone ever try this? I looked at some shallow subs, never really had the chance to put them in

I think this is what your talking about


Its called an XJ pod, i was about to get one, but realised good speakers will do,,

and fitting a sub under the back sit is very tight and i doubt most subs will fit

I hear that those rattle like crazy and are not worth the money at all. Plus they only hold an 8". I made one and have had a few on here wanting one. Mine holds a 10" and I could prolly even get a 12" in there. My box is actually sealed air tight and not one rattle either. Of course mine is bolted into the body inside the panel,. Then I trimmed it out.



Heres my setup!

yea i saw your set up it sweet i was wanting to do the same as you i dont like that cheap plastic enclosure and i can build it for way cheaper and better quality but i wanted to c if i could modify a box on the driver side

It could prolly be done but would be a whole lot of cutting and modding to make it work. Your tail light wiring is in there too.

well if you feel froggy im sure u can make some good money selling your enclosures especialy if u could get it on the other side i know id be the first lol i wish i knew what it looked like back there without rippin my cargo area apart

The driver side is mostly sheet metal and a wad of wires inside of it. The cubby side is all open with nothing in the way. I may break down and try and do one for the driver side to match my other one. I have prolly about 8 hours or so in the box and the complete install.

I may start a thread on it to see interest. I think I am running out of work at my Job right now so maybe I will have some time to make some up if people want them.
