Custom Audio in the XJ!

Well now that the weather has turned, the leaves are green, and the girls are wearing less (he he) I figured I better get some tunes in the ol' Heep...so check out what I did!

First of all I borrowed Carls Saw-Zall and cut up the doors and the panels....and cut a hole for the "highs" to go (notice the tweeter by the handle)

Then I squeezed in a 6" Bass driver with a 4" Mid range above that ....

After that I flushed in 2 12 Disc changers in the back corner ... Nice and out of the way!

Then I put in a flip out screen that gives me all my CD titles and what-not

An EQ for the center console with really cool bouncy lights !!

and last but not least a custom grill to top it off. Somebody puts thier foot through one of those speakers and I am going to run over them!

The sound is amazing and is actually quite suprising - a heck of a lot more than what I was expecting! I have been working in the car stereo industry for about 10 years now and good sound in a Jeep is sometimes hard to get.... Now enough about that - Lets go Jeepin'

Nice work! good mod

I especially like the flip out screen...gives me some ideas actually. I'd like to do something similar with a screen that would double as a laptop montior so I can run my GPS software on it.

Again, nice job!

Rock On!

Well I was able to stuff the Kicker 6" driver in the factory speaker location with minimal modification. Directly above it I mounted the 4" midrange (Kicker also...) and can still use the window fine. I measured once and cut 3 or 4 times.... J/K It all worked out well and the amp was able to fit under the back seat where the stock jack goes. -CoreyXJ Smile
