billforde, do you think there will be any amp problems from the slamming of the swing gate? I was going to mount mine there as it's a nice flat surface but decided on the back of the rear seats for the above reason. Let me know how it goes. If you don't have any problems I might do what you did instead as it'll give me more cargo room when the rear seats are folded down. Thanks.

I dont expect to have to much problems with slamming. I made sure i bolted it on through the piece of wood i added to firm up the plastic.

BTW, nice job

The grey contrasts with the black really nicely and everything looks cleanly mounted.

Looks good billforde. How's the sound quality from back there? Any vibration/distortion?

Hey billforde

That is a great job you did to your swing gate. I was actually thinking of doing that same thing to mine, but was trying to figure out how to start it. I like the amp cut out.

When I finish mine, I will post my our come.

That's awesome. I was actually just thinking of what could be mounted on there (although I think putting a TV for tailgating would be cool)

Sweeeet, nice and clean without loosing any space. Very nice!

So no rattling?

Great job. Haven't looked but did you do a write-up in the "Fabrication" section on your cool piece of work?

No rattling at all, sofar. I really should do a write-up (of all my projects) when i fine time.

What about speaker depth? Is there good clearance behind the pannel or is there a maximum speaker depth we should look out for?

P.S. Love the heated in-dash center channels!

He already has a flip down tv in it, I have one as well(15.5 inch drop down) Awesome for tailgating like you said.

Can you imagine?

Arrive in your KJ to a tailgate party.....pop open the rear......and have a TV screen in your rear door ready to show whatever game, movie, or show.

There isnt much clearance behind the panel, maybe 2 inchs, depending on location. The speakers i used, Infinity Kappa 63.7i 6-1/2" 3-way car speakers, fit without too much problems though.
