[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8892618, member: 683415"] Are you set on a sound bar? The ones I'm seeing online a pricey and alot of them are either unloaded or loaded with cheap PA speakers meaning they are gonna get loud but sound terrible doing so. Plus they are made of thin plastic and the panels are super long so I guarantee they'd have a ton of panel vibration and sound sub par for the price you pay. Plus sound stage wouldn't be great. I'm assuming you'd want it mounted in the rear so a majority of the sound is gonna come from behind you and you'll have issues differentiating directional sounds. If you are looking for a plug and play option and aren't concerned with sound quality too much, a sound bar is a decent choice but if you are willing to to put in some extra effort there are cheaper alternatives that will be better and you'll be able to upgrade easier later on and they'll be interact able with your next vehicle. I can't imagine that a sound bar that is made specifically for your jeep will not fit in many other vehicles. I'm not a fan of sound bars myself. I've had two 90s Cherokees. The older ones have the option of the sound bar and it was just especially a thick fiberboard cutout with speaker holes that was held in place with the headliner trim retainers and that thing flopped and wobbled around with my subwoofer and it caused the speakers to distort and sound like garbage on top of the flapping noise from it slapping against the roof with each beat. The one in my current jeep comes factory in all of them so it's actually built into the headliner itself. It's better but still not great and rattles and I don't care for having speakers mounted in the back like that, like I said all the sound you hear will appear to be coming from behind you so I actually took the speakers out. That's just me tho Regardless, you aren't gonna get away with installing a sound bar properly without drilling into your body.
