So has anyone ever made a home made sound bar for their xj? I am in the process of making one for some six by nines but it still a work in progress...ive just got the resin on the fleece right now. I still dont have any fiberglass on it. The first too its upside down and the last one is how it should hang but in the jeep....

Let me know what you think.

 

wayyyy sick gonna sounds good.

 

I hope so. I cant wait to get it glassed in and in the jeep. I put the front components in tonight and they sound way better than what was in it. I cant wait to get these in. Im thinking about putting the components on an amp but i dont think i will just yet....

 

that sound bar looks awesome

 

Thanks guys. i just hope it doesnt hang too low. I think it should only hang down about 2 inches from the top of the glass in the rear. Im going to either wrap it with mossyoak like my headliner or do it up with some bedliner like the rest of the interior plastic...

 

I've thought about doing that myself but don't know how to make the form.

 

How do you plan to attatch it to the roof (in the center) or are you going to let it hang?

Reason I ask is with it being fiberglass, it will likely crack if you let it hang, especially if you wheel.

But other than that, it looks great!

 

where are you going to put it?

 

It wont crack. Itll have enough fiberglass on it that itll be pretty thick. And on top of that the main fram of it is made from wood. Any forces that are applied down on it like gravity for example will be absorbed by the wood frame. The fiberglass is basiclly just cosmetic. And its my daily driver. It doesnt get wheeled much now that im swapping everything to the play toy....

It will hang just rear of the seat belts and it will hang similar to the stock ones. If you look at the first couple of pics you may be able to see the metal tabs that stick out from the end. They are screwed into the wood frame and will sit on top of the metal trim at the top of the jeep. the tabs should go behind the trim to keep it from falling.

 

I just took some cardboard out and cut it too fit the contour of the headliner. Then transfered it to some 1x4s. Then you figure out how wide you want it and start building off the main frame.

Ill get some pics of the inside for you guys...

Oh and a little advice, dont use fiberglass in your basement. It tends to make the house stink...

 

looks good

 

LMAO this just made my day. Anyone in the house upset? Also, nice looking sound bar. Really makes me wanna cut one out.

 

Thats going to be nice. i wish i knew how to fiberglass. just never tried it yet and i need to fix my header panel. but i like the way this looks man good job.

 

fyi-there is a roof support above&behind the drivers head,take your dome light down and it'll be obvious I put y fire X up ther so's to access it fro which ever hole I climb in thru

 

sound bars just like this come in xjs, the older ones, ive found them in jys before, but they couldnt hold four speakers so i didnt try
