The 10" Bazooka hits hard and sounds good. If the head unit is 50watt x4, the 8" tube may be sufficient and save space. I downsized to a sealed box, self powered 10".

Thanks for the info. I had two 10s/2 6x9s in a box I built in the back before but it took way too much room and bounced all over the place offroad haha. I was just thinking I could use the straps the bazooka tubes come with and attach it to the rack on one of the sides... still have the space above the wheel well. No amp anywhere to get ruined. Ive been looking at some of the sealed/powered boxes as well.

Cleaned the throttle body and IAC on the '01 Sport. Idle RPM's at operating temperature are a little low - around 600 RPMs. No noticeable change. Will replace the spark plugs next.

That's fairly normal. 600-700. Have you adjusted your throttle cable?

Put a Kenwood KMR-D562BT marine audio head unit in the YJ. Looks and sounds much better than the old deck that was transplanted into it from the Comanche

Installed a set of IronMan Andy's Shackle Relocators







Honestly, did it more to regain height that I lost from armoring up the rear end, but they are bullet proof!

Added clear marker lights with amber bulbs and took off the junk fog lights that haven't worked in a long time.
