Is that for the sound bar? I just ordered the front stage speakers for the dash? thanks

Base system with the sub. Came stock.

I’m not familiar enough with the stock setups to know what that means you have. Someone else mentioned you already have an amp. Do you know if you have an amp driving the speakers other than the sub?

I figured I would do the Front Stage up front and whatever options I have for the sound bar and get all new speakers.

If you have the factory amp and sub, I’d personally start with the alpine setup. They’re specifically designed for JL and JT jeeps. I have them in mine and they sound amazing. I still have the factory head unit. Mine did not come with an amp, so I added a very small 200w (50x4) alpine amp.

I have these for the sound bar…

These for the dash (they fit under factory screens)…

and this amp that fits behind the glove box…

I didn’t have a factory sub, so I added a powered Memphis 10”. But since you have an amp and a sub, I’d start with the speakers and see how it sounds. I think your be quite happy.

Yes the second pair of 3.5s and the single pair of 4s go in the sound bar.

I have the 8.4 UConnect with premium sound from the factory. The front speakers sucked. I upgraded to these. Plug and play.

Still happy with your choice? I have not heard of this company but they do look nice.

Not sure, the speakers arrive today.

Thanks much, ordered the two sets to install next week, and a little polyfil to stuff up in there. I like the fronts I just popped in Wednesday, so these should be all I need. Appreciate the help.

Yes. An upgrade over the factory premium. Install takes about 5mins to do both.

just installed this exact combo today. 3.5s In dash and soundbar and a 4” also in the soundbar. Bought from Crutchfield, unfortunately one of the Metra adapters 72-6514 for the 4” was broken so had to keep the factory 4” on one side but it definitely sounds better. Had some 3m thinsulate laying around and stuffed it up in the 4” cavity of the soundbar behind each of the 4" speakers.

The 3.5” in the soundbar barely fits but it’s tight and locks down when screwed in.

Nice, my sound bar speakers come in tomorrow. Polyfil just arrived today.

Those extra 4-way tabs can be bent back and forth until they snap off, leaving just the 3-way tabs. Then the speaker fits flush.

Edit: At least that was true on particular brand I put in.

Thanks! Yeh the 4" seemed to fit in flush with the little kicker outer plate even though the speaker tabs don't line up.

So far, very happy with the setup. Front Stage on the dash and Kicker replacements on the sound bar. Put polyfil in there and bent off the tabs on the 4" speakers, easy install. Love the sound. Easy upgrade. Thanks for everyone's advice.

Is this a speaker replacement only option that will make it sound better ?
