Jeep speakers are all we do and Mod-Pods are a "must
have". Located just beneath the doors, the Mod-Pods
throw unobstructed sound toward the driver and passenger.
They sound great with the doors on and the combat
road noise with the doors off. They make use of wasted
space and are contoured to fit snugly against the
jeep body. Be confident in knowing the driver's side
pod will not interfere with your vehicle. Mod-Pods
are so well recessed under the doors that your feet
will never fight for space. Once installed, you'll
probably forget the pods are there... until you turn
the radio on of course!
Constructed of 1/8" plastic, the units can withstand
years of abuse. Mod-Pods have pre-cut holes to accept
5 1/4" speakers, though many 6 1/2" speakers
can also fit. If you wish to use 6 1/2" speakers,
you can buy the empty pods and take one with you
when choosing a pair of 6 1/2" speakers to make
sure they'll fit. You'll probably have to make the
pre-cut holes a little larger, just make sure the
depth of the speakers won't hit the back of the pod
and check to see if the particular 6 1/2" grille
that comes with the speakers will fit nicely on the
face of the pod, since they vary in size. Purchase
them empty or with Profile® 5 1/4" car audio
speakers. These are coaxial speakers with a polymica
cone to withstand the elements and provide rich,
clear midrange and bass. The titanium dome tweeter
produces crystal clear highs. They can handle 60
watts of continuous power and have frequency response
of 50-22,000 Hz. Very nice! They also employ an attractive
grille (see above right) so a wayward shoe won't
damage the speakers ,although once the units are
installed we bet you'll never do so since they fit
so snugly against the Jeep body.The Mod-Pod™ is secured
to the vehicle with two self-drill hex-head screws
per pod. They have a wire lead hole so the speaker
wires easily conceal beneath the carpet as they are
run up to the radio. Directions and hardware included.The
Mod-Pod™ is designed to fit the Wrangler TJ, but
can be adapted to fit the YJ and CJ as well. Usually
the YJ and CJ models will require a spacer usually
1/2" or so, placed under the pods so that they
will run nicely along the bottom of the door opening.
CJ and YJ models require that the self drill screws
are put through the bottom of the pods and into the
floor of the jeep. The use of T-nuts, available at
your local hardware store, is another option for
a great install in CJ and YJ Wranglers. Just drill
out the base of the pods to place two T-Nuts in each
unit. Run corresponding - sized bolts through the
T-Nuts and as they push against your vehicles's floor
they will raise the pods and wedge them against the
door channel. Probably the best for CJ + YJ's is
to simply apply Lock-Tite® adhesive caulk to the
back of the pod and stick it to the sidewall of the
vehicle. The caulk is available at you local hardware
store and will certainly hold the pods in place,
just be sure to plug the screw holes so no air escapes
the pods. TJ owners have a hand parking brake between
the seats while YJ CJ owners have a foot activated
parking brake- the driver's side pod will not interfere
with using the brake.
