Added a second pair of 6.5" Polk Audio speakers (to match the ones in the roll bar pods) to the custom kick panels yesterday. Now I can actually hear the music while driving with the top & doors off.
So can everybody else!Now I can actually hear the music while driving with the top & doors off.
Agreed. Guess it depends on what kind of wheeling you do. Or don't do.Probably not the best location for many. I would be constantly kicking them. Also not going to work for manual Jeeps.
For this build, I put an 8" powered sub uunit under the driver's seat.speaking of speakers(alliteration aside)im goin to ditch my whole center console unit and so was wondering about relocating the 'woofer'and was thinkin:in between the speaker pods on the rollbar?pretend i dont know jack about speaker-placement-for-sound-quality...im not an audiophile and dont really need/want a fancy system in my jeep but would like to know where other folks have relocated said bass speaker...?

Bass is 'non-directional', so it doesn't really matter where it is installed or which direction it is facing, unlike mid's & high's.
I wasn't looking for it to "add the boom", I just wanted to fill in the bass where the roll bar pods and dash speakers could't.
acoustics you say?perhaps great headphones as you drive roof-off asphalt on the way to the dirt...?Mids and highs should be as close to ear level as possible. They are directional. Though a Jeep is never going to sound as good as a car with a permanent roof.
How have these held up in that location?
Looking into modifying my own speaker system
