Long story short... I bought a new-to-me 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, recently. As part of the deal the guy included Kicker Speakers and a Kicker powered Sub. I'm using the speakers in the Jeep, but not the powered sub. My Jeep has/had the infinity stereo and already had provisions for factory sub (previous owner removed it). I got a sub from a friend and didn't need the Kicker Sub.

So, I am planning on installing it where the spare tire should be. I'm thinking it would be neat and tidy and out of the way.
Originally, I thought about installing it on the package shelf, but since she's a kid, I figure she'd end up banging it or putting something over it.
Also, out of sight is better.

I know this is not going to rattle the world, but it will fill in some lows.

Thoughts about the install?
Should I go ahead and put some sort of hush matt type material in the well?
Power wire in car or under car?
Should be enough "space" to keep amp cool? Right????? There is nothing in the wheel well...



this is the head unit in the car.

It does have sub outs.
I have the Kicker connectors that converts the line out to RCA. Then she'll have some control from head unit.

As far as speakers, Sony 4x6 with bass blockers and a set of Sound Ordinance 6x9 (Crutchfield Brand), no external amp.
It actually sounds better than I remember my 87 Formula, from back in the day....


I just want to fill, not BOOM.
