If there's any room at all. I know on my 15 JKU, I had a lockable storage box under my drivers seat. On the JL's that option is not available, as there's too much wiring, etc that makes that impossible on the newer models.
any idea what the Jeep folks do with a soundbar installed, that almost blocks all the rear view mirror?
Not sure. Jeep has speakers on the roll bar, so I never used a sound bar.
I care about the sound and speaker placement but with or without the soundbar the Jeep rear view visibility is just as bad as the Bronco .... more curious about solutions on that .... is there a favorite touch screen mirror they like?
I never had any visibility issues with the Wrangler. I drove trucks with far worse visibility for the Army for 8 years, so that may be why I didn't have an issue. Not sure. You may want to take a look at Wranglerforums . com. You may get a better answer there for current Wrangler owners and what they do for visibility.
Alpine is also a great choice for quality sound on a budget .... personally I am biased towards Polk cuz of past experience .... Alpine tweeters kick ass though
The Alpine was the upgraded system from Jeep. The placement for the sub was perfect as well.
Not going to happen, unless it's a super super small box. There is no room under the seats.
If this is your Bronco, can you take some measurements. I was wondering if 8's could fit in that area pointed down toward the air vents. I know this would be a small enclosure, but it may help with a combination of better kick panel speakers and A pillar tweeters.Not going to happen, unless it's a super super small box.

Not mine. It was a Big Bend I got to look at the other day. I highly doubt an 8 will fit under there. The bottom pic is straight down from the front edge of the seat and nothing is going on the back side w/o blocking the vent and sticking out into the footrest of the back seat.
Yes
are these air vents?
Can't tell if you're joking about perfect placement of that sub. But if that's factory, in a utility vehicle like a jeep (literally in the middle of a cargo liner designed to take abuse, hold-back liquids, etc), then I find that less than ideal...side-mouted behind wheel wells, etc always seemed better to me...low frequency bass is difficult to locate by ear, esp in a vehicle, so there usually isn't a balance issue to deal with...The Alpine was the upgraded system from Jeep. The placement for the sub was perfect as well.For what it was, it was pretty decent. I've not had much experience with aftermarket systems and the one major system, I had in my Silverado, was Memphis speakers and Rockford amps. 2-10's 1000 watt amp, etc etc...
