Distance between roll bars (measured from inside of each) — 43.5"
Back of rear seats (bottom) to closed tailgate — 34.5"

Will that sub still be in that location in a Sport JLU without the upgraded audio? Wondering about aftermarket sub placement.

The base sound system has no sub. There would probably be an inch or two extra width between the sides. Most aftermarket subs will take up a lot more room but sound better.

Yeah I'm not worried about room. That's what my Cherokee is for lol. My concern is these two 15in kickers I have. I'm wondering with I be able to squeeze both or settle for 1 and sell the other.

Did you measure the large cargo space under the floor? That's what I'm keenly interested in.

JAY - Typo. First one shouldn't be an Unlimited.

It is the cargo volume for Unlimited. With rear seats up.

I've been in a friend's Sahara JKU with the alpine system and was BLOWN AWAY by the sound. World's difference between that and the base JK system. Lost space is definitely worth it. Plus, it helps drown out the miserable road and wind noise.

C'mon man, we have to DRIVE the thing. What is the height from the drivers seat to the roof sill for entry
and what is the drivers seat headroom. I'm 6'3" and the measurement is critical.

May be @JAY can answer your question.

JLU with seats down is roughly the same area as a twin bed (39x74). Should make it easy to sleep back there.
