I flipped the cover on one amp to where the RCAs of both amps will be on the inside and the power wires on the outside. I have the Stinger 9000 rcas and they aren't very long either... Plus, if I need a little more room the amps can stick out a little bit more.

I spoke to Hutchinson about custom details on the sub - they are going to do flat black in all of the areas were there is currently gloss black, and the cone and dust cap will both be carbon fiber. Btw, that pushed the price of this beast to $1,700! It better give me some really warm, fuzzy feelings inside at that price!
So the finishes will be flat black, red, carbon fiber and polished metal on the hardware, it should look awesome!

Re: New Build - 2019 JL Wrangler 2 door
So Hutchinson is in contact with Mmats regarding the powder coating that they use, so they can try and match the sub to the amps! Hell yeah!

pretty subs but massive motor structures. :shrug:
Re: New Build - 2019 JL Wrangler 2 door
A couple people have said I am crazy for spending this much on a sub, but here is my justification:
In this Jeep there is no room to do much in the way of aesthetics, so this sub (and the enclosure) have to be that visual wow factor. The amp rack and amps will be mostly hidden under the enclosure, so I am not doing anything fancy with that.
All that is left to do is put a really nice sub in the nicest enclosure I can make for the Jeep.

You don't have to justify anything to anybody! Just enjoy your build. I will say though, your justifications sound great, and I'm sure this will give you all the warm and fuzzies you can handle. Just thinking about the custom Hutch is making me feel warm and fuzzy! :nod:

Uuummm, I'm a little uncomfortable with that revelation...
Lol, j/k!
Yes, bro, that sub is probably gonna be my single favorite piece of electronics I have ever owned.

I received the Metra pods and by the looks of them they might need some modifying with a heat gun or torch to fit the Morel's... I will also take a look at the dash and see if there is anyway I can enlarge the pods by adding some sort of tumor for more airspace.

I also ordered the overpriced ScanSpeak aperiodic vents so I don't have to mess around trying to fabricate them myself...

Re: New Build - 2019 JL Wrangler 2 door
I did not really do much to my Jeep but I'm really interested in what you have going with this build. Wrangler is usually a four letter word to audio geeks.
