They point at back of the seat. for a while I was running a 4 channel set to 3 channels. Front channels split between the dash and doors. Awesome audio. Now I'm building a dual amp setup with a 4 channel bridged to 2 around 160wrms. And then 2 ch x 600wrms for the 2 13in JL audio subs. Gonna be fun.

Where do you put 2 13in subs? I'm struggling with an 8 inch. Where are you mounting your other drivers?

1 13in JL TW5 will fit with tons of room to spare under the soft top when it's down. Or 2 8in tw3s in their own JL box. Those 2 8s in their box is about the size of the factory bose sub enclosure. And supply awesome bass. More than anyone I've seen on here would know what to do with lol. The space under the soft top is very large. I was going to use expanding foam to make a larger form fit fiberglass enclosure but I just removed the soft top entirelly. Window is ripped and frame is a Lil bent. I hate drop tops. Now there is soo much room in the form of the drop top I can easilly put in 2 13in tw5s which are 600wrms ea, and if I wanted 2 6.5in components on each side ... box is clamped down by the rear deck. Subs are protected by 5% uv tint. I measured just a basic box using 3/4 mdf... there was 2.2cuFt. Of space. The tw5s only need .80. The Rockford 12s requires 1.00.
