I have a clarion deck with an older sentrax amp all mounted into a 50mm ammo can for a console. I am running MTX truck boxes in the back with Alpine 5 1/4 speakers in the dash. Some were bought from Crutchfields and other were from local stereo stores.

I'm going with the typical stereo in the Tuffy center console and two 6" rounds in the dash (not factory dash). But beyond that, I'm stumped. I want more sound but the CJ (Scrambler) is hardly conducive to hiding components. I'd like to find a place to put a small amp and two 6x9s without some bootleg-lookin' setup. Would love to see what you guys have done.

Ive got stereo. It's dual exhaust. One pipe out each side. Sounds nice.
I used to have a CD player that I removed when working on my center console (that's where it was mounted) I never put it back. I used to always have music playing everywhere I went. Now it's nice in a daily driver. Don't need it in my CJ.

I've been a fan of Pioneer's Supertuner radios for 40 years now it seems and they still seem to perform stellar. Concerned with how firm the ride was in 'Black Betty' (felt like she was oversprung) I went with AM/FM cassette (remember those?) DEH something. I was concerned with CD skipping. The cassette worked well until a gremlin sawed off the oil gauge line above the unit, I pulled the cassette unit from the radio chassis in hopes of reviving it but it was kaput.
No worries though as I've been using a little tunecast transmitter hooked up to a portable mp3 player (3Gb) so selectable music is even better than before, and it's so compact it fits in my boonie hat hung from my rearview mirror.
Now, I just gotta re-record the 800+ albums (remember those?) that I had commited to tape back in the 79's and 80's
I have a modest Pyle Marine amp hanging suspended (but secure) under the driver's seat. A pair of 6x9 (remember those?) Pioneer 4 way speaers are secured to my aft locker box and a pair of 5" three ways (remember those....er....NEVERMIND) residing in the front dash. It may not be boom boom boom like some of the kids like but there's more to Led Zeppelin, Boston, James Gang and Steppenwolf than the bottom end anyway.

I like Pioneer also, except for one thing. I want a button that says OFF! Having to press and hold the "source" button is just stupid.

I reckon it depends on the model of Pioneer but my old DEH has the trusty rheostat knob that clicks to off

I have small ammo cans mounted under the seats with 4x6s in them they are hanging under there with zip ties, can't steal em I'd they don't know their there, right. Oh the radio is in the center console.

- '79 Jeep CJ7 Renegade with 304ci V8, TH400 auto, Quadratrac T-case, Stock 20 and 30 rears with no mods yet, not sure of the gear ratio.. 4" Softride Superlift, w/widetrac shock towers and 35x12.50x15 BFG Mud-Terrains
'76 CJ5, 232 ci, T-150 3-speed, D20 T-case, Corp. 20 rear w/full float axles and lockout hubs and Detroit auto locker, D30 front w/lockout hubs, gear ratio is unknown..
I've decided to find an 8 track player for mine.. I was at a sale recently, and got a whole bag of tapes for a buck (35-40). I'm restoring the AM/8-track in my Charger, so I figured why not the CJ too... I'll hammer out the speaker details later, but I was thinking about a set of paper cone, single coil, quadrafonic Hi-Fi speakers like I had in my '74 AMX, back in the day...
