Thats not actually that bad of an idea... As long as i get reflective waves off the dash (and my legs [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) I think i should be alrite, and atleast that way i would be using the speakers, and not a ported rendition

Somewhere on www.sounddomain.com in the member page section, there is a guy there that built pods that fire up towards the ceiling, they are mounted beside each seat, between the seat and the edge of the door.

Well, I just tried fitting the speakers again.... Beside the doors wont work.... But under the seats facing the dash will... I think im gonna do that, Ill start this weekend. Im doin a 2" body lift saturday tho, and hopefully shoppin for some 33's The passenger seat tilts forward, kind of in a weird way. Anyways, I'll take lots of pics, and post em after... I'll keep you all posted, however.... they probably wont LOOOK too nice, because im not really goin for looks (i go in mud )

I hope Perry_B doesn't mind me sharing, but he did a sweet setup in his Honda that might help you out a bit. http://www.sounddomain.com/id/perryb

Check it. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Get horns, they should fit right under the dash if you can't do pods or anything.

Oops, sorry I didn't see this was for a YJ, my bad.

HMMMM just a thought, I would be real interested in waterproofing the volcano!! Imagine parking your car on a sunny day, the top is off and life is good. You park the Jeep and catch a movie, you come outside after the movie and K-rap its raining! Now the speaker cone is your vehicles newest water feature (just add goldfish). May I recommend marine drivers!
