Also...

I'm going to get rid of the coiled air pipe.
Besides not being very convenient, it is quite longer than needed, compared to a non-coiled pipe.
This extra length reduces air flow. That's, of course, true for every compressor.

My set up is close to the same price as the ARB setup.
I have a single ARB under the hood. It does ok. But I didn't want to kill it airing up tires all the time.
Also didn't want the hassle of trying to fill up a powertank every so often.
I came from a lowrider background so Viair was my first choice for air compressors.
The dual setup I have really impressed me. I was able to help fix multiple rigs at our last trip.
The ability to run a impact was great when it came to fixing stuff.
And being able to air up 4 37 inch tires from trail psi to street in about 5-6 minutes start to finish was awesome!!!
Was worth every penny. The blow nozzle is great for blowing the dust out the jeep also !

Good chance that at least one forum vendor sells it.

The ARB part number is CKMP12 .
That ARB setup is cool. But FYI I just looked into it and the correct part number is CKMTP12 for the double with tank.

Probably not of interest to you but I bought a 1500w inverter ($70 on ebay), installed it under the passengers seat and strap down a 6gal portable compressor when i go wheeling. This setup works best for me (the right price point).

Fills a 35" on 15" rims from 11 to 29 in about 2 minutes, give or take.

The ARB are real heavy duty. The only thing that can harm the compressor is the under-hood location, where it sucks hot air, and its filter can be partly blocked by debris/water/mud, which adds extra strain (and slows airing up).

Another thing that ensures proper and full air flow potential, is direct connection to the battery with real thick wire.

Fast refill with the smaller tank. Runs a impact just fine. Sometimes you gotta let the tank fill back up. Airs up a 37 from 12 to 26 right at a minute.
Is that a custom subwoofer box, or did you purchase it already made? It looks like it covers the natural shape of the jeep fairly well!

Pre made box from onlinecarstereo . Been holding up well so far. Sounds good for a sealed box.
