94 jeep cherokee

2 AQ HDC3 18's D2

Audiopipe AP3000D

Iraggi Alt

Kinetik 2400

Batcap 800

JVC KDAR880 head unit

KNU rcas and 2 runs of KLMX 0 ga

Well, someone pulled out in front of me a few weeks ago and i wrecked my civic. so i pulled the stuff out of it and bought a 94 jeep Cherokee sport for $400. I decided to do a build for as little money as possible.

bought the jeep. ($400)first i took the second row out and cut out a board for the false floor ($15). Then, I realized the floor was just rust so i did a quick 15 minute job to carpet the interior with some speakerbox carpet i had at the shop. I ran the knukonceptz rcas and 0ga from my civic. I am sending my civic alt in and getting a free iraggi alt for the jeep. I got the subs for cheap. Traded my OPTI2000D i paid $125 for in for one HDC3, and traded a Fi 0 15" i paid $140 for in exchange for the other sub. Thanks rgplayer and White Ram for the trades.

heres the floor after i carpeted it.

tomorrow i plan to finish the false floor and run the amp wires through it and fabricate the whole back area with more free speakerbox carpet. kinda cheesy but i'm trying to save money here.

Carpet looks pretty good

Should turn out pretty decently, and I'd consider it one hell of a "budget" build haha

especially since i'm using the ap3000d from the shop i work at. i dont have to buy it since ill be throwing the shop logo on it. we're using it as our demo car. same reason i got the carpet free

Hmm that sub looks familiar.

it was yours once!

update on the build...i got my front windshield replaced today because it was all cracked.

the rest of the project has to wait since my window regulator went out yesterday and i have to replace that, when i get the time.

I'm cancelling my tint appointment, and i have to hold on fabricating the passenger's side until my 0 ga gets here. I cant fabricate the back till the front is done, sooooo...i'm on hold completely.

also, suggestions on a front stage setup??? im keeping the woofers out of the door but i'm not sure where to place them.

off to pullapart downtown to get a new door for the jeep. the window regulator is out so it wont roll up and someone tried to break in and ****ed up the lock. once the door is fixed i'm back in business.

 

[bobtista 10+ year member]

well i picked up the door, however I was too stupid to realize 2dr and 4dr cherokees have different door sizes... thankfully i only really need the regulator and ill deal with the messed up lock later. it still locks and unlocks from the inside. i know, i'm an idiot.
