Basically, I am curious if it was possible to buy a Gladiator that has the Bluetooth Speaker in the back, but does not come with the factory subwoofer. I am asking because I intend to install a different subwoofer under the seat and I am trying to determine if there is a panel I can buy for behind the back seat that will go where the factory sub is once I remove it. The caveat is, I dont want to lose the bluetooth speaker.

Anyone have a build that came that way?


Thanks,
Rob

Replying to myself, just in case someone else may be wondering. I went and tried some different builds on the Jeep site and it does not look like that you can get the bluetooth speaker without the premium audio system, So I am guessing that I am out of luck there!

Yes, the Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is a separate option from the Premium Audio (which gets you the factory subwoofer)

EDIT: oh, you're right--as soon as you add it, it requires the Premium Audio!

No. Sub and alpine are required as the BT is made by alpine.

You can purchase the speaker separately but you will not have the charging dock built in.

Yeah, that was my suspicion. I have the bluetooth speaker along with the Alpine system in my JTR. I was just hoping there was an option where I could get the rear panels for a JT that did not have the sub, but I wanted to keep the dock in place. Doesn't look like there is such a thing.

Thanks

When you build the JT on Jeep’s website it forces the additional options. If you build it through a dealer you do not need to have the Premium Audio or Technology package. You can verify with this link from another post and only select the Wireless Bluetooth Speaker.

From what I see there, if you choose the wireless bluetooth speaker, it requires either the 8.4 radio and premium audio group or the Alpine premium audio system. My understanding is that both of those will come with the subwoofer. Right?

Which model were you working from that did not require one or the other? I just chose the Sport S, but maybe others dont?

I’m sorry, yeah I was working on the Freedom Edition but did not see the requirement to the side. I was using my phone on that build and pricing worksheet. Please disregard, it does look like you need either or for that speaker.
You are correct that both the 8.4 and the premium audio package come with the added subwoofer.

No worries man, thanks for looking into it for me!
