2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee siren speaker install

Does anyone have any recommendations on both a compact speaker and where to mount said speaker on a 2014 Grand Cherokee? Space is limited under the hood and I was curious if anyone out there has any experience. Thanks.

Re: What was your first /\/\otorola radio?

HT-90 VHF 2 channels for me. Got them in high school and still have them in the garage. It took me a while to get some other Motorola stuff, went through some Relms and Kings, and then was able to get some SP50s, then my Spectra and MT2000 which I still use today. Solid radios can take a beating and...

It was a full size Spectra and we never had a problem with the radio moving, making noise, etc. It was pretty solidly mounted. One of our other units ...

I use a GP-68 for work and it does it job. I don't do a lot of reprogramming of the channels, but it is fairly easy. Its one of those radios where you do have to take care of it and not toss it all about. I've had it four years or so and it still works as good as the day I got it.
