The 2018-Up Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020-Up Gladiator JT have speakers in the dash knee position. How do we upgrade the Jeep Wrangler Stereo with these speakers? These speakers can be improved substantially with an upgrade to a larger speaker, but this requires an aftermarket speaker pod. To replace the knee speaker pods in the Jeep dash requires the removal of quite a few panels. How hard is this process? What all does it take? Are there any difficult challenges? Let's find out!

Want to see how I get MASSIVE MID BASS and improve the new speaker pods with sound treatment materials and a few other mods? Watch the next video here: th-cam.com/video/LITHTnIaDE0/w-d-xo.html
What system would you recommend between this one and the alpine?
My god they laid out two speakers and built the entire car around it 😂. Awesome video!
Yeaah looks like the factory speakers are staying on my JL for ever..
A wise decision.
Dude! That’s an intense job to change out some downfiring dash speakers 😬. Glad you took the hit so everyone else can see how it’s done lol
They fire at the knee, definitely not optimal but at the end of the day it's not exactly the best car for SQ. It's still going to sound pretty darn good though, wait til you see what I did to sound treat the pods.
@@CarAudioFabrication I have faith that you’re gonna have that Jeep sounding 🤟🏼😍
Yet another fantastic video Mark!
Even though I don't have a Jeep Wrangler, it was inspirational on the part of speaker pods. Can't wait for the video of what you did to those! :)
I needed this before bedtime! Greetings from UK by way of Poland q;
Thanks for tuning in, have a good night!
It's insaine how Stellantis installed these speakers. They need a simple front access panel. Also I dont understand why stinger won't make their radio water resistant.
Your video came up just after 2 days my metra adapters came in :))
THANK YOU!! I have my metra pods and 6.5's sitting here and was planning on installing this weekend. Already have the instructions from crutchfield and metra, as well as many videos showing how to remove most of the components. However hearing/seeing it from your perspective is very nice!
Glad I could help! Make sure you seal up the pods really well, they have several holes for other speaker sizes. Actually the next video (which may or may not be dropping tomorrow) I cover all the upgrades I did to the pods.
@@CarAudioFabrication yep! Thought of that when test fitting the speakers, I had to trim the tabs for the 6" mounting holes off to clear the frame of my speaker.
I purchased polyfill for the enclosures but don't have any dynamat/second skin type products on hand. Debating if I really should get some or not because doing it once installed is obviously not going to happen.
With your help, I did it! Thank you!
Why must car manufacturers make things so difficult sometimes? Great video, looking forward to seeing this come together!
So you don't mess with it.
So it's okay for you to spend 50k on a jeep and have to pay thousands of dollars to change its sound! Great, you are very smart !!..
Thank you very much for putting together a great video that helped me with this speaker upgrade.
well , being subscribed to your channel for a long time makes a dead hobby flare up again , got a “new to me” car with factory audio , and that just won’t do……….thanx for the inspiration and keep the videos coming, greetings from the netherlands
Jeep making sure an upgrade is as difficult as possible!! Great vid mark.
Could always be worse. Not a super bad process but just time consuming
For the JL you have to go all out(expect to spend 2k+), or drop some good spx in the upper dash and call it a day. I speak from experience. The benefits of just replacing speakers is minimal. You'll get a bit a clarity with some quality dash replacements, but the stock amplification muddies everything.
Just sound treated my entire jeep jk and also the pods. huge difference in sound quality. currently running front 2 way active off of an alpine pdx-v9, no rear and jl audio 12w6. Front rxa to ch.1 and 2 and rca ch.3 and 4 to sub input. I want to add an alpine s-a32f to allow rear fill. What would the rca hookups look like for the pdx-v9 and the s-a32f?
Do a video on changing 2017 explorer radio. Cant find anything
If I put the Metra Pods in can I just add 6 inch speaker to my oe Alpine system with no mods to the wiring. I would like to use the OEM factory speaker harness.
Question on outputs for a 2 dr beater Geo Tracker. Looking @ stereo specs 4x60 watt output (15 watt/channel from harness). Want to use 2 channel micro amp, what happens when I parallel speaker wires into amp (RF+RR into amp R input)? I know I need to parallel the 4 ohm speakers to get the 2 ohm amp rating.
Did you do one for the JK 07 - 17 ?
Serious question...I have a JL Rubicon with the 8.4” w/ Alpine upgrade...I haven’t seen the speakers but I have to assume they’re just fancier stock speakers and probably a step or more under the cheapest Alpines on Crutchfield. Correct me if I’m wrong please. Also, I dig the Heigh10 stereo but is it worth $1500 over the 8.4”?
great video! Off topic question, if youre making a sub box out of 3/4" MDF what size/length Brad nails do you Recommend using??
1.5 inch or larger usually, they are just there to hold things in place while the glue dries.
Great tutorial bruh
Glad you liked it
@@CarAudioFabrication fosho I enjoy watching all your videos
I’m planning my audio build on a mk4 Supra and it comes with very shallow pods for the door speakers. If my new speakers don’t fit, and I doubt they will, is it better to delete them? I don’t think I’ll be finding after market pods for a 26 year old car. Also, I’m not sure what air volume I’ll be dealing with for my subs, if I’m at the top of the recommended air volume should I use insulation in the box? Also should I insulate if I port it?
Worst problem is the oe speaker cover screen is tiny puta 6” speaker behind them blocks 50% of the new speaker. I drilled mine out but doesn’t look great. Even worse I leased my jeep to buy and paint is bubbling so I’m returning the jeep and have to remove all new equipment and replace both speaker panels. But I have great practice now to do it on my 2023
Do I need to remove all this if I’m just replacing the 4inch speakers?
Where can I get these pods to upgrade a 2020 JLU with alpine type R speakers. R-S65.2. And what harnesses might I need?
Great job again Mark ‼️ I'd like to get an opinion from you please. I have a system of about 3k total RMS power. I am a sq guy. Until I can go active on a 3way component speakers. What is a good 2way component speakers that has a soft tweeter and SQ set. I have a set of DS18 6.5 component speakers. Loud but not sure they are SQ quality.
To be honest I would just hold out until you can get the 3 way set. I like companies like JL and Focal that sell the high end speakers "À la carte". You could get a 2 way set for the time being and upgrade to 3 way once you have the funds.
Thank you very much for this video!!!
I did almost everything as you suggested, put sound isolating materials, put silicon gasget seal on the inside of the connection part of the pods . Closed the additional speaker mount holes with the gasket seal and the sound deadening material from inside that overlapped the connection seam but I am so disappointed how it ended up sounding.
I put 100W Polk components and I am not sure if the speaker is garbage or the pods or both! I have to basically use the speaker with High pass filter otherwise there is a terrible rattle sound. Speaker itself has many holes and these holes are very close to the woofer's rubber and it's leaking air from there. Will a wooden adapter ring under the speaker solve that issue?
Also, I used the rubber part from the the stock box to seal the wire hole, it sat pretty good to be honest but I'm not sure if that was a deal breaker?
I'm planning to make mdf adapters and give it a one more go but maaan! it took sooooo much time to remove all the garbage parts to reach to the speaker pods -it is so discouraging to take another go on this.
I regret it so much to waste so much time to end up with a terrible sound which is not any better than the factory garbage speakers. I wish I went with the 3 1/2 speakers...
Do your pods rattle with a decent bass (not a lot)? Would you recommend getting 3 1/2 instead of 100W Polks? Maybe it is too much for a little pod but anyways I wasn't expecting earth shattering sound - all I wanted to have clean mid bass.
Would love to hear your thoughts on how your pods sound after the install, do you have a review video?
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thank you!
Mine did the same. I cut out the back of the enclosure. The speaker cone stopped rattling. Something about these enclosures causes this if they are sealed. The factory ones have a sound tube to allow the cone to breathe. Once the back was removed, they sounded great and they use the space up under the dash for bass.
@@gregfitch6093 Will def give this a try! Thank you :)
How would you rate JL Audio with the Kicker units?
Any issue with the grill cutout being smaller than the new speaker? Does it block sound?
Where did u get the pods at.
Anyone know if these front pods will fit Right Hand Drive? I need some but am in Australia.
Does Apple make the new Wrangler?
No biggie - day 6 and I’ve got the glove box out. Lol. Just replace the soundbar and dash.
I wouldn’t have been surprised if you would have had to remove the rear wheels to access the .50 cent front speaker..I sure hope the engineer was fired
PSA from Australia 🇦🇺
These pods don’t work for right hand drive vehicles 🚗
I replaced the other 6 speakers and this were stupid easy. I’ll not be replacing these. 🤦♂️
Can I get away with just upgrading the top dash and sound bar speakers 4/6 this looks like way more than I want to do.
Oh Hell no!
Not me... 😂
Will not even attempt that.
And I thought my Taurus was a pain😳
@CarAudioFabrication wanted to know if youve done a build for a 2008 Vauxhall Vectra? want to do one but dont know how to go about it on a budget thanks
Not only does Jeep make a truck with the worst sound I've ever had, you pay 50k for a wrangler and it comes with a Chinese car sound, but it also makes changing the sound as complicated as possible, it's ridiculous to do all that work for 2 speakers Thanks Jeep Keep Going !!..
Good gosh, I expect to lose 10% of the screws doing this. Jeep built a Jenga car.
Great video, but no thank you. I wanted to install some Kicker DS 6.5 in., but gonna pass.
After seeing this those speakers are gonna remain the same forever 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
So in other words, if you're in the market for a new vehicle, stay tf away from Jeep Wrangler 😂
Every new vehicle has challenges now days. I'll still take hard to remove speakers over not being able to upgrade the head unit. Lots of head unit and amp interface options for the Wrangler
@@CarAudioFabrication yeah that's also a pain for just about any vehicle after 2012 or something, the cars functions built-in to the HU. I like the location of them speakers being where they are but after seeing all the bs you had to do just to get to them speakers, that probably turns a lot of people right off when it comes to upgrading their sound. And I'm sure it's not cheap to have it professionally done either probably $500 to a grand just in labor getting to them 2 speakers. But once it's done, I'm sure it's nice
