So earlier this year I posted about how I had blown a soundboard speaker(volume never goes louder than 32 and I dont have the bass but 1 notch above center). Anyways Jeep replaced the last blown one under warranty, but here I am less than 6 months later and its blown again. And I dont feel like doing the bring it in to them to look at then wait for them to get the speaker then go back up there knowing it will likely blow again in the near future.

Whats everyone running in their
Sound bar? I dont plan on adding an amp right now, but want something that'll last longer than these shitty factory "upgraded stereo" speakers. And while im at it whats everyone running for the upper dash speakers? They are ultra easy to swap so might as well while im doing some speaker work.

Pics of whatcha got would be great!

I replaced the 3.5" speakers in both the dash & sound bar with 3.5" Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx speakers (3 ohm).

I replaced all the speakers. I have morel 3.5 speakers on dash. Morel 6x9 on the soundbar with 6x9 conversion kit. I replaced the knee speakers with a 6in woofers box and 6in morel woofers. I then took the bottom bracket out under rear seats. Replaced with a sub box with 2 10in pioneer subs. I put the 5 channel pioneer under driver seat. Pushing 600 watts to subs. And 75 to all the speakers which morels are rated for. You'll also need special jeep connection when adding amp. Sounds great

I’ve ran 6x9 kickers in my last jtr le. I have Rockford components now on sound bar and knee panel. Dash has kickers

not super impressed with any of them. Would go back with infinity or higher end alpine if I redid it. Crutchfield had mbquart replacement bars for like 700 recent.

Shoot, I just saw this - @Shibbyjeep I currently have a DS18 Soundbar, that will be coming out of my Jeep on/around January 12th if you're interested...
This package - https://ds18.com/collections/jeep-jt-gladiator/products/jl-jeep-package
Will have amp and controller for the lights, plus most of the wiring to go with it.

Stupid cheap for you, send me a message if you're interested. Put it in this past spring, works great, but won't work with the cage I'm putting in.

You can do any 6x9, just check the rms with what amp your using or stock. That way you get the full sound of the speaker. That's what little I know.

Well bone stock is 20. If you have the factory upgraded alpine I believe its 50 or 55. I did a 5 channel amp and everything is running on 75 rms. I'm also pushing 2 10in subs under backseat. At 300w per sub.

To much for me. I don't need that much. I'm already deaf for the most part at least the wife says so. I don't need to go completely deaf. Just want a decent 6x9 upgrade and better door and dash speakers.
