haha... I guess I needed to get more sleep today... didn't even cross my mind that I was asking about tack welding aluminum to steel. Ugh... that's a good mod though. I'm definitely going to do this soon.
Well even though I have been selling them here since early 2010, I built my first one in 09. Big amount of sound coming from a small space. This is my own current setup. It's insane.
Actual sealed box. Most of the box fits into the cubby so the cargo space is still usable. My current box is way louder than when I had my Kicker setup. But the sub is a 20 pound monster from one of the top names going.
I have a vid of what the kicker setup would do.


Not sure if this would be homebrew but I bet there is not another one quite like it. I got a Aluminum bezel from ebay. I then powdered it Red to match my XJ. I done a black Biohazard logo in the center. Love it.

Lots of homebrew mods coming soon when I get the time. Work is busy and my Jeep needs a new rear end. It never ends.
I also done a cool little mod when lifting the XJ. Normally people trash the rear sway bar as with it rubbing the tires and such. I tow a trailer a lot so I wanted to keep it.
I had some spacers I pressed out of the 2012 JK shocks I used for my lift that spaced the bracket up that holds the track bar.
I will snap a pic when I change the rear diff. It is pretty cool. No where near my tires and I am running 16" moab wheels with 245/75/16's.
