They won't be a simple plug-and-play install if you've got the Factory Alpine Premium Audio System using the factory style connector. The factory premium system has outputs matched and crossed over for the factory speakers. It's not that the SPV-65-JLT's won't "work", but they will not be receiving the full signal to deliver the best sound. You could install these into a premium system if you're willing to run some custom wiring in your Jeep. It would be best to contact Alpine directly for more assistance if you're looking to complete that setup.
Because stock is open I'm guessing polyfill would not work well with the factory set up? Looking to upgrade atm but still deciding between this kit and the kicker kit
Are these only for the gladiator? I have a Sahara and would really like better sound. Before this vehicle I had a 14 Grand Cherokee Laredo and had no problems with the sound. It's almost as though FIAT is like... Yeah we know we put crap equipment in Wrangler's and you'll just put aftermarket in. For as much as they cost you'd think they'd actually put some quality stuff in.
DId I hear you say they wouldn't work with the Upgraded Alpine system ?? I watched another video and this person did this upgrade with an existing Alpine system and they worked perfect !!!
@@eli8375 I installed these in my wife’s Jeep a few months ago but was super easy. Just use the connector that fits the speaker and tuck the other one up inside the cavity behind the new speakers
My 2021 JLU has Uconnect® 4 with a 7-Inch Display. In this video, you removed the OEM sound bar speakers which had TWO connectors, but the Alpine replacement speakers only have ONE connector. Which connector do you use, and what happens to the other connector?
The 2 connectors are different, only one will correctly plug into the Alpine speakers. The other just gets tucked up into the sound bar and is not used.
It looks like there's 2 factory speaker plug wires. Do you only use one to the alpine spv speakers? And if so, does it matter which factory speaker plug wire?
@@kn19kn19 If you have the upgraded alpine system, you will need to use both wires. Check out a couple reviews on this speaker at crutchfield they have this explained there.
Yeah, that kinda pisses me off. I paid for the upgraded system from the factory. The sound bar speakers have blown. And now you’re telling me there’s an upgrade available not compatible with my already “upgraded” system from the same company?
You may want to fix your website as it says "They can be installed in any two or four-door, regardless of trim level or sound package." But installation instructions say not on OEM alpine systems. Very misleading.
It looks like Rob was installing them into a Alpine Premium Sound Gladiator, not a basic system. I think that the reason that they are not compatible with the amplified premium system is because the two speakers that you remove are already pre-crossed over and you wont get the full sound to Alpine speakers once you connect the factory wiring harness.
@@chaveztruz Rob's Gladiator that he installed the SPV-65-JLT speakers into has the basic sound system. He specifically ordered it that was, because he knew he would be upgrading the audio system in his Jeep.
Daniel, Miguel was correct as to the reason these are not compatible with the Premium Sound System with the subwoofer. The factory premium system has outputs matched and crossed over for the factory speakers. It's not that the SPV-65-JLT's won't "work", but they will not be receiving the full signal to deliver the best sound. You could install these into a premium system if you're willing to run some custom wiring in your Jeep. It would be best to contact Alpine directly for more assistance if you're looking to complete that setup.
@@Quadratec - Can we get clarification. at 2:34 Rob says "you can make these speakers sound even better using the alpine pss-23 wra powered subwooofer. So if you PURCHASED the jeep with ALPINE premium it's not compatable..however if you upgraded later with the PSS-wra the wiring would still work? Asking as I'm exactly at this point....before I cut I want to ensure all is good. Guessing also Rob is plugging into the 'tweeter' plug...what exactly is happening with the old 4" speaker connection? Thanks!
The easiest way to tell is if you've got the subwoofer in your Jeep, you have the premium audio system. It's in the back of the Wrangler and behind the rear seat in a Gladiator.
So if I buy the insane audio head unit, what do you recommend for a sub setup (I don’t want the alpine) and an amp and what about front speakers? I’ve never done anything with car audio
i see alot of sound enthusiasts doing away with the sound bar alltogether. from videos that ive seen. they say the sound placement is horrible if trying to get something to sound good, and not just loud
The speakers should be worth max 200 bucks. 499 for a pair is ridiculous. Pricing for jeep aftermarket is getting retarded. You have to spend 5k+ to do a full replacement and that's installing it yourself.. I'd rather buy a motorcycle /jet ski/ boat or other toys for that money. I'd spend a max of 400.bucks for a whole update on speakers they should have a proper package under that price.
Remove the sound bar and focus on doors and dash speakers. Anything you can purchase at Best Buy... stay away from that stuff too. Currently nobody makes an affordable head unit for the 18+ mopar so you’re kind of at a standstill. $1000 for a radio replacement is just ridiculous.
Just added these today. Ewwwww dont waist your money. Looks good... Yeah i got Alpine speakers. 😂Thats all. Dont touch the sound performance of factory on my JT sport. Maybe with an amp but id say its A no no. You have to take out the bass tube which makes the 3.5 sound much better. Yes 3.5s lol better then 6.5s for $500 bucks. Gonna buy an amp on payday. Cross my fingers. Just hope im not throwing away money.
Does it matter which connection you use since there are 2 in the sound bar? Thanks
I just installed this speakers !! They are impressive , really big difference from factory
I loved it
How was cutting?
@@DelanoJ if you have the tools to cut it is not hard
I recommend to take off the sound bar that will make it so much easier
@@filibertovazquez8284 I don't have power tool to cut. Would box cutter be strong enough?
I'm glad I ordered mine with premium audio already installed.
Was trying to find out why he said it wouldnt work if you have the upgraded alpine system. Have you installed them? Thoughts? Issues??
How much of an improvement is it really without an amp??
I wish Rob would have discussed options for those that have the premium sound system.
He did he said they won’t work if you have that
But why?!
@@Clark55.6Is it the harness on the speakers?
It works with my 2023 wrangler with the alpineaudiopackage. @Clark55.6
What do you recommend to pair with these to replace the ones in the front?
I like these speakers but ive never done any trimming and i dont have that type of cutting machine
So they don’t work at all with the alpine system? Or they’re just not specifically designed for it?

There is two harnesses from the factory and just one on the alpine, how does that work? How would i know which to plug it?

@@dealerslicenseops I have to find it...I wasn't subscribed to his channell but I commented and he replied....give me some time to find it
This actually is an upgrade sound wise even for the factory Alpine equiped Jeeps
Do they work with the alpine upgraded system?
@@dustinsellers71yes
Will these speakers work correctly with a rubicon 392 Uconnect® 4C NAV and Alpine® premium audio system?
The money end is crazy to me , I love Alpine and obviously Jeeps but it hard to keep up with !
Facts ridiculous
Really,paper still being used in stock speakers?? For the vehicle prices of now that’s insane, then of course they know we’ll pay more to upgrade
Is there compatible speakers for the factory upgraded system because the speakers still suck
Do you have a video on the small rotopack on the side of the gladiator? I like that!
I believe it's this one: th-cam.com/video/GNNqsMoYVms/w-d-xo.html
Rotopax has one..not sure what the title is but I watched it last night
Do these fit on the 2024 Wrangler?
Is that aftermarket sub and infotainment screen items you sell at your store?
Which connector do you use? Does one just sit unused?
Did you ever figure this out?

We are still waiting on our initial order from Alpine, we should have them in the next 2 weeks. Thanks for your pre-order.
@@Quadratec Thanks for the quick reply. Looking forward to taking delivery.

Hi were can I buy one for my jeep gladiator
If I have the factory alpine audio would these be an upgrade for the speakers? I’m getting different answers.
No - he made comment that this is only for the Jeep factory speakers - if you already have the Alpine Premium speakers, they're not an upgrade.
Eric Eberhardt thank you.
So much for the upgraded factory system Jeep uses.
Yeah, that kinda pisses me off. I paid for the upgraded system from the factory. The sound bar speakers have blown. And now you’re telling me there’s an upgrade available not compatible with my already “upgraded” system from the same company?

$449 no thanks
I remember when I was poor.

500$ damn
Literally the most trash speakers I've ever heard. Installed them only to ruin my jeep (carving the install) and the sound quality worsen.
$500 for speakers? pass. Even though you lost me already at taking a reciprocal saw to my jeep.
A Dremel would have been cleaner. :-)
