It’s like an add-a-trunk or insta-trunk, but it has a small subwoofer and two tweeters. I’m told they were an OEM option, but we’re uncommon.
Does anyone know the specs for the speakers or especially the amp in here? I am replacing the sub, and may also replace the amp while I’m at it.

Update: @Jamison C reminded me to look for part numbers. None found, but did find a patent number, which turned up this and this. The second link is a fun read, and a good reminder of how much time and thought goes into these products. But as a patent, it has no information about what speakers or amp Chrysler chose to put in there. So the search continues ...
Update: Something brought to mind the name "sound deck", and now I'm getting results. Here was one for sale on the forum, and here is a thread about wiring one. A YouTube video tells me that these were made for early TJs that didn't have the option of a sub in the center console.
Update: Thanks to @Jamison C for finding the Mopar part number: 82204809. Can be found here. As @Steve04 points out, this seems to be a Mopar accessory brochure, which would explain why although there's nothing about them in the FSMs, some TJs came with these from the factory. And finally, the brochure lists the color as Camel Tan (99-02), which means that whenever I find a paint color that truly matches my 97 Saddle Tan, I'll end up painting this too.
Update: Some screenshots I pulled off the web for specs.
