I have an 09 wrangler 2dr too. U want just sub advice or security advice? How much money are you looking to put into it? I put in about $6,000 and it'd take atleast 2-3 hours for someone to get my subs and amp out of my car.

In these first three I'm showing u a box that holds my two JL w7's 10 inch. It fits in where the back of the seat is leans backward and the other side fits between that and the tail gate

In these pics I'm bowing you with the tailgate closed, there is no room to even get a finger between the seat of the tailgate. I have a deadbolt that's not attached to my security system. You'd have to get a crowbar, pop the back tailgate, cut the top, get inside the car, pull the seats forward, and then somehow get it around the bar that fits above the tailgate for the top.

In this picture I'm showing you my amp. It's sitting on a block of plastic bolted to the frame. Two reasons for this.
1.) security: you would have to unbolt the seat with a high pressure air drill and then unbolt the amp from the plastic block which is virtually impossible since there are no threads in the plastic. Then you have to unbolt the plastic block.
2.) water damage: if you leave the windows down or top down, the water won't fill up enough to touch the amp until your car is basically flooded. Even then the floor of a wrangler soaks up everything.

This is also an amazing idea. A viper security system were if anything goes wrong, it will how you on the screen. If a door opens, if the tailgate opens, anything that would go wrong if the car was locked

Low $500 to $1000. Just looking for a good sound when the top is down.
