Talking

who needs an XJ Pod when you can fit two 3000 Watt Pioneer Premier Champion Pro Series subs in the trunk

they can probably only hear you from a mile away

Those are the ones I stake out to break into to slash the speakers. I hate that thump thump crap at a stoplight which everyone in a half block can hear. Makes me wonder if the driver can even hear a siren!!

Yes, I agree with blue. I just wanna add a little bit more bass, and not have it take up any room in my trunk.

Blue, i like your thinkin. I have an XJ pod with a Jensen 340 amp amplifier. It sounds good but i do get a rattle during high base country songs becasue thats all i listen to. I stuffed some weather strip in between the sub and the plastic wall thing that it mounts too. its seems fine now. I recomend it though. i was thinkin about geting a regular sub but my brother got his subwoofer taken from his jeep.

Hey, Phil, what kind of sub do you have? with the clearance from the back to the XJ-Pod, you think you could squeeze an amp between the metal of the jeep and the pod?

You should be able to squeeze an amp under the backseat, i know the factory could fit a six disc changer there.

My rear speakers don't even work. I didn't notice it until I had the hatch open one day and just happed to pay attention. I sit in the front seat, and those speakers work, so I'm happy.

mines the opposite. when i took the doors off, the passengers side electrical plug ins were a huge pain in the ***. i just plugged the drivers side back in but that speaker doesnt work on the drivers door and since the passengers side isnt plugged back in, the back speakers do work though...so im happy too

Im not quit sure where your talking about.. if i was to relocate my amp i would bolt it to the side where my spare tire used to be, i have my tire on my roof now if you could put a picture on here to show me where you think. I have the regular xj pod that sits in the the side wall
