    Sub Under Seat Install Beginning

    If he's ever laid fiberglass he can definitly do this. If he's never laid fiberglass, but is good at building stuff, he can probably still do it. This took some time, but it is not extremely "skill oriented". The most important thing is the carpet. Cut or no cut. I do have a few spots that...

    Sub Under Seat Install Beginning

    Yeah, I finished tweaking the system today. They sound REALLY good. I also put the 10" kicker back in there for a while. Together they sound great. I hate the sound of the factory speakers now :( I do have an old set of woven carbon fiber Altec Lansing components (these were close to $500 a...

    Sub Under Seat Install Beginning

    Sounds really good. It's not "2 12 subs on 1000watts good" but it is great for not losing any space in the hatch. Outside the vehicle, you can tell it has subs in it. Inside and it moves your pant legs with the bass coming from under the seat. I'll probably notice more difference when I get my...

    Sub Under Seat Install Beginning

    1:30 am and the install is complete. I'll put all of the pics up on my cardomain site tomorrow. It sounds pretty good. Bass is pretty tight on it. I'll still drop 1 or 2 removable 12's in the back. I have to precision power amps that I'll install next. Right now I'm running a scosche (sp?) amp...

    Sub Under Seat Install Beginning

    First sub is in. Sounds very good! I wanted to build one complete box and hear it before I started the second one, in case I didn't like it. My advice for anyone else is do both at the same time. It'll save tons of time. My airspace is around .3 cubic feet. A person could get more space under...

    Sub Under Seat Install Beginning

    I have the first box fabbed up and the first layer of Fiberglass laid down. I'll be finishing up the rest of the fiberglass tonight and I'll be able to test the sound tomorrow. The top of the box ended up being 12" X 12". A person could get a 10" sub in there if they flush mounted it the lid. I...

    Sub Under Seat Install Beginning

    Well, I'm finally gonna do it. I'm going to put my two 8" soundstream subs underneath the front seats. I've measured, run it through my box software, and checked it all out. It'll work with no problems. First off, know that my seats are not power seats. This gives me plenty of room. I've cut...

    Remote Start?

    This leads me to think the $80 cartoys one that would give two-car capability, remote start, keyless entry, and alarm all with one remote might be a better choice. Rescu2000

    Choosing a stereo and a few questions

    One thing to consider... You say that the stock speakers have amps. Amps typically take pre-amp inputs. If you wire up the 52 watt outputs of the head unit to the inputs of the amp, it should blow the amp up. My jeep already had an aftermarket Alpine installed when I got it so I didn't go...

    Newbie Stereo Question

    I've looked at some different options. I never did pursue subs under the seats, But I think it can be done if you don't have power seats. It would be 8's at the most. I do have two 8's in the hatch (Soundstream subs) in a 5th order box. I also have a 10" kicker I throw in there sometimes. There...

    Remote Start?

    IF your key has the chip, you will have to have a spare key programmed for your Jeep. This can be a blank off of Ebay. Then this key has to be put in the bypass box. This lets the computer read the key to bypass the starter key in the onboard security system. IF you don't have the chip key...

    Jay lake crossing Video

    Does anyone have a link to that guy driving through a lake? It's jaylakecrossing.wmv I think, but I can't find it. It's on the LOST forums, but I've looked and looked and don't see it. The message had something to say like "who needs a snorkel?" and the video attached. Thanks, Rescu2000

    Extra Lighting and BCM Burnout

    I thought it would. But it could do that through current detection in the BCM and not need the wire. That's how I'd engineer it anyway. That brings up a point though. If you turn it on manually and the computer shuts it off, does it reverse the switch? Think of it as a light switch. Up is on...

    How much water can we drive through?

    How much water can a KJ go through safely? I know DC says 20" and if I add my lift and tires, I can move that to maybe 2 foot. But I've seen photos of people in water up on the headlights. I've read the "wading" thread. And I've also read guys say they had to have their tranny rebuilt cuz of...

    Extra Lighting and BCM Burnout

    Bennet, I looked at the light I have. These are the ones that came out of the EVIC I ordered. (00 GC). Anyway, it looks like the wires running to the switch are grounds. The Yellow coming out of the switch (and running to the center of the plug) is PROBABLY a sensing wire that tells the BCM that...

    Extra Lighting and BCM Burnout

    I really don't like the separate circuit idea. I want these lights to come on when I open the door and dim-to-off when I start up, just like the other lights. That's too cool to give up... LOL Rescu2000

    Extra Lighting and BCM Burnout

    I think I've decided, based in info from Benett's thread, that I'll just wire it up to the Evic lights. I noticed that Benett siad that he had lighting under the dash or some such. I only have the Evic lights and the cargo light. One or two more should still keep me below the current Benett is...
