Been there, done that, have a whole box of t-shirts.

Total System Power into 4W : 300W
Highest SPL : 118 dB (OSHA max exposure limit 15min)
Best Freq Response IASCA : 26 (out of 30 back then)

Never had enough time to accumulate points for a national.
Came close in 94 though, then they changed the CD and power splits
so it wasn't worth competing. Still enter shows every now and then
just to let people see what can be done.

Nothing like taking the interior back to metal just to lay down
sound insulation. Can't stand the rattleboxes that kids run these
days.

It's still fun to crank up bagpipe music or some country/western
just to watch the expressions.

And yes, I wear hearing protection when maxing out.

Still find myself looking at the 1KW amps and thinking about how much
fun it would be to fit those into the ZJ. Just remove the back seat to
hold forklift batteries... eep!

I think you should reconsider putting a speaker where the airbag
used to be.

It's a hobby.

That's why I went with a "stealth" install. Except for the sub box you
can't tell it's any thing more than a higher end head unit. The seats
also had locks (drilled out since I misplaced the keys)

They don't, it is vehicle only unless you add on coverage. Used to be
anything bolted down was covered.

I have a Futaba 7 channel radio for my RC tank and porche. Too bad the
FCC yanked the band I need and the radio can't be recrystalized. (old analog)
That and the batteries have long since barfed.

OH yeah. My bro had an 80 something xj... filled it up with 6 kicker 15's,
8 6inch (or whatever close) midrange speakers, about 6 tweeters... Could
hear that thing coming from across the neighborhood. Shook the thing so bad
though, that every week he'd have to tighten screws, and it ultimately led
to the death of the vehicle's electrical system. Most of them were in a
wall he built up in the back cargo area... couldn't see out the back window
though. Man that thing was loud. Luckily he grew up and out of that sort
of thing. That and the tickets did him in.

Funny you should ask. I posted the same thing last spring. I wanted a
sub enclosure for the "hole" in back of the wheelwell on the pasenger
side. I got a reply from a guy in CA. that had just that.He traded in
his 99 xj and bought a GC and couldn't use it anymore. I installed a
Soundstream USA 305 (the old made in USA soundstream) 5 ch amp under
the back seat, with a cooling fan. it gets pretty hot in the summer.
The USA 305 is 35wx4 + 100w x1 at 4 ohms or 50x4 = 160x1.The sub is a
MTX 10" in a fiberglass encloser that is gray carpeted to match. It
dosent take up any space and is even with the wheelwell. Infinity
reference 6.5's in the roof spk. bar, and Eclipse 5-1/4 componet in
the front. I mounted the tweeters on the post and the crossovers under
the dash. It cranks! Nothing too outragous but cleen! If you want
some pix email me.
