96 zj audio freak
I bought this beautiful 96 zj for 100 bucks it was owned by some old guy that drove it for 12 years and has 196k on it but it did not start...
I got it towed home swapped the starter and battery and cranked right over ....
Since then I've done all new fluids new rear end cover and a new ho 250 amp alternator to get this thing in too shape
Ive Been a bass head my whole life started small and now I own a 18 FI btl subwoofer fully loaded... I made up a custom box
The new battery and the big 3 upgrade all 0/1 gauge
Next step is the rear battery
And did some good grounding today
Cannot wait to get this done and enter some bass races this summer...
I've never owned a jeep b4 and I hear these things are tanks so far I'm I'm love with it...
Soon to come
Blk out grille, rims, tails, headlights 10k hids, 32" tires...
Any love/hate or opinions please shout em out

damn that looks clean for $100 bucks! is it the 4.0 or v8?
thats a crzy sub/box lol, i wouldnt like it taking up all the room though, whats the rest of the system? head door speakers.
my solo baric 12" l5 does fine for me i need a better amp though.

I need to do the big 3 for mine, can u run a Capacitor and a extra battery? Also how hard was doing the big 3? Iv got 2 15's, just ordered a 4000watt amp, and a new 2800 watt sub to replace one of the older 15's. With the 1200 watt Sony explode amp my lights just barely dim.

4.0 liter some old guy just wanted it gone since he just bought a audi a8
the rest of the system is still stock this laredo came with the infinity system so it actualy holds up well agenst the bass..
doing the big 3 is worth every penny dont waste your money on capacitors... buy optima yellow top or blue top for engine bay and wire a battery in the back but make sure youd do bolth wet cell batteries dont do a dry and wet i hear its not good to mix the 2 in a parellel run..
all power wire and ground cables 0/1 ga buy like a 50 foot roll i try to double my ground over power cause amps wont heat up as much with good ground straps..
and what your going to spend the most money on is a HO alternator
what rms will you be running?

You may be good with stock alternator... If you lose too much power I'd say buy a 200amp alternator if you can then you would be set.... Look at people's big 3 updates on YouTube there is some good how to's on there...
Doing the big 3 is easy just time comsuming.... Removing plastics finding good grounding spots I don't know what year jeep you got but alternator Change is real easy for the 4.0... I just followed the how to on YouTube... And take time in running the wire through the car and doing a clean job.... If u have any questions ask.... Like I said I'd start but getting 2 wet cell batteries and running all 0/1 ga to and from the amp and see how you like that....

Have you had it metered in that box yet?
I'm curious to see how it does.
I hit 157db with one Mojo M3 15 and a Mojo 2000D way back in the day.
I beat out a guy with 2 18s but he was way underpowered.
Lookin good.

Iv got an 04 wj 4.7 ho v8. I'm gonna see where I can get the best deal on some wires, I also need to order the upgraded battery clamps. My buddy bought me the kinetic battery like you have but its the 600 one I think. Is it possible to run the battery and an 10 or 20 fared cap?
