Subwoofers
5,000 Watt Amplifier
Thanks to Amazon's amazing customer support, the two subwoofers ended up being free. The head unit allows 55 watts to each of the four interior speakers and the amplifier is solely for the subwoofers. I think the subwoofers, despite being fairly cheap, sound really nice and give a TON of thumping fun, despite me mostly leaving them on low. The dedicated volume knob for the subwoofers is located on the dashboard, attached to one of the air vents and is directly above the head unit.
When buying front speakers, be prepared to make modifications to the frame and possibly the bracket that supports the speakers themselves. I had to drill new mounting holes in each of the brackets after full removing the dashboard and everything involved just to make it so that they would fit into place... barely. As for the rears, the stock mechanism and covers for the speakers has a really small place for the bottom magnet, meaning I had to drill into the rear deck in order to mount them. If you don't want to have to do this, be sure to take note of how big the magnet is and see that it will fit in the holding bracket or modify the bracket.
The only reasonable place for the hole in the firewall was on the driver's side footwell, directly next to the steering column. The passenger's side has no easy location to drill into, and I recommend you figure this out before running all of the wires on that side just to remove them and place them on the left... like I did. Do also be warned that the rear seats are mounted in place with metal that is fairly weak and will bend very easily. My rear seats didn't return to their original position at all, but with time and a lot of strength (and friends) pushing on it as hard as possible the frame has bent mostly back into place.

These will fit in the stock speaker holes in the doors. I know they look round but the factory speakers are actually 6x9 and paper garbage. These will open up the soundstage quite a bit in the Patriot. You can even find some adapters on crutchfiled to make them true plug and play. The stock speaker covers come off without removing the whole door panel and you can screw these in.
As far as loudness the stock unit will drive these at Max volume and while they will be clear you are not blowing out any windows so a new head unit would be in order for more volume.
Subs I can't help you with but I have seen a few write ups where people built one into the rear side compartment where the little cargo pocket is.
You could try and find a set of the flipdown tailgate speakers in a junkyard or on eBay. I know they can be added but you do have to replace the whole rear door panel for it so sourcing the parts from a pick and pull would most likely be the cheapest route.
