Subwoofer inside of a Jeep Wrangler rear seat

After a year of listening to the stock speakers in my 2005 Jeep Wrangler I was ready for an upgrade. At one point I had installed a sub box behind my rear seat, but this used up the only storage space in my Jeep. After a little thought, and some internet research I found a guy who had installed a subwoofer inside of his rear seat. I decided that was for me.

This project took me several weekends to complete, as there is alot of waiting for glue or paint to dry. The most difficult part for me was the woodworking, as my skills are lacking in this area.

I'm amazed at the final product. This box is better than I would have ever expected, and had no rattles at all. The down firing subwoofer is nice, as you don't have a speaker pointed directly at you drowning out the other speakers. The only negative I've found is that I've added about 25 lbs to an already heavy backseat, so removal is difficult. If you're into stereos, and don't want to compromise on storage space, then this is for you...

Cut a hole

You really don't want anything making contact with your subwoofer while it's moving, so I cut a hole in the carpet to accomidate it.

Notching the bar

Now, before you can zip the seat up, you have to use your grinder once again. This time you'll be cutting the bar that attaches the seat to the floor. You can see in the first photo how the new box keeps the bar from attaching correctly. Just cutout the section you see in the second photo.

That's it! Just take your time and zip the seat back up and you'll be ready to tick off the neighbors and walk around saying "huh? I can't hear you" all day long.
