Sharing in case you are looking for a place for a sub......
Purchased a JLUR (soft-top) without the Alpine package. Didn’t want to spend the money and lose the cargo space. I have been happy with audio, but after removing doors and top..... I felt audio was lacking..... so I decided to add a self powered sub (Alpine PWE-S8) under passenger seat. Got sub and felt the fit under seat was no good. A buddy of mine suggested, the top of the front passenger roll-bar above factory sound bar. I bought a black cutting board from Amazon.... cut it down to create a mounting platform. Used two existing factory holes (likely for hard tops which I don’t have) and installed it. Added 3M film on factory painted surfaces to protect from scratches in case I change my mind and remove it all. I also used weather stripping between hard surfaces to avoid vibration. I pulled power, remote on, and ground wires up through the passenger side pillar. Then tapped into sound bar speaker wires. So far, so good. Definitely have the bass I was looking for and install was straight forward. Only risk to this set up might be in expected rain fall if top is off. Total cost of parts and materials was less than $300.
