BEST INSTRUCTION VIDEO EVER Aside from the last few pages which had the Amp & Sub settings, I pretty much ignored the factory install manual and followed this video. Thanks Quadratec!!! 2021 Jeep Gladiator OEM Head Unit.

this was a great tutorial, thank you! I did it in 4 hours but lost 45 minutes running to the hardware store to get a T50 bolt for the seats, don't forget that! Also, getting the speaker bracket holes to align with the seat bolt holes was extremely tough! the front right one especially needed some bending, not sure why it doesn't just fit perfectly since it's machine cut. That was my only hold up, everything else went as smooth as the tutorial

So...... I'm an apartment dweller and had to do all of this work in the parking lot out front of my building. That being said the install took about 2 hours as mentioned here in the video (even with the difficulties I ran in to. The dash and radio came out/off as mentioned (please use a panel tool as mentioned to remove the parts). Not sure why the drivers knee/kick plate needed to come off (pointless) nothing was going on the drivers side. There are a few things/issues not shown here that I ran in to during the install: The power cable is long AF. Be prepared to stash the excess. The are 2 drain plugs in the passenger side floor pan. I picked the drain plug that was not directly under the seat for running the power cable through. I did as the video instructs and ran the power cable down an existing bundle of wires from the battery, popped a hole in the plug, ran the cable through the hole, and zip tied it in place. Easy! The hard parts: I couldn't get the passenger seat fully out. The clips (wiring harness) were impossible to remove/unhook so I removed the T-50 bolts and laid back the passenger seat I worked within the room I had at this point. Be ready for this situation if it presents itself; you will have room to move the seat back a bit and tip it in to the back seat without damaging the seat attachments and wires. Running all the cables were as easy as shown. Pulled the carpet back, removed the AC duct ran the wires along the underside of the center console, used a long zip tie to fish the wires through the dash. The wires all set up and clip in as shown. Labeled clearly, self explanatory. I reassembled the dash as shown. I have 2018 JLU and the space between the firewall and the back of the radio was tight with very little space but I made it all work without forcing! The real pain was setting the sub in place and getting the freaking seat back and bolted down. The frame for the sub is a little screwy and, well, for a lack of better terms didn't fit. I managed to get the front seat and sub brackets in and mounted first. I had to remove the back bracket from the top of the sub (4-small chrome Phillips head screws) and bent the bracket in to place, mount the bracket and seat to the floor, remount the bracket to the sub. The, the seat remounting part was the toughest and has caused me to worry about pinching the cables under the seat. We shall see. I ran the bass booster cable in to the glove box. Fired up the Jeep and adjusted the eq as to not rattle the teeth out of my head. Hope this helps!

It's a great system. I've had mine installed for a couple weeks now....

You need to do a review of the SPV-65-JLT when Alpine finally releases them.

DUDE!! Great job.

Good morning. Just added this to my non alpine system to my JLU but getting no sound. I rigged a speaker and was not getting sound out of the amp(ktp-445u) but I am getting sound to the input or left side. Could it be a bad amp with the kit? Any suggestions? thanks in advance.

Hello brother I have Jeep Wrangler JL 2018 I have 7 inch screen system in my Jeep, I was planning to install 1 more factory sound bar in it. For installing factory sound bad (I bought factory sound bar from accident Jeep) do I need to install AMP for it or just connect to the sound bar wires. Thanks

I have the Alpine system from the factory and didn’t really know how much better it was until I rented a JL on work travel that had the normal system ... it’s 300% better, night and day sound.

Rob, how do you execute your delivery so smoothly? You demonstrated this as if you've installed this exact product a few hundred times. There's only one mark on your hands, too, which leads to the conclusion that you don't make many mistakes. Awesome video!

What about the 22 wra jk version???

Does this work with wranglers that come with the factory premium alpine sound system

Will this Plug-N-Play in a 2021 Gladiator?

If you have a 2 door would it still be in the compartment

I installed the system today on my 2022 jeep gladiator rubicon with the 8.4 dash and well it didnt work, everything plugs in like normal but all the speakers sound very bad, a lot of static and the sub doesn’t work, now if I connect the subwoofer connector going to the dash to one of the front or rear speaker plugs the subwoofer turn on and sounds great but the interior speaker wont work, I removed the T harness and connected the oem back to the radio and all the speakers work like usual, again I checked everything and connected again this kit and well again a lot of static like if your 0.01 off on the radio station type of static , I think its the actual alpine crossover for the speakers, it might be faulty, so dont know if I should return them or just call customer support and see what they say

Can I get this minus the tweeters ? And if so will it work with the Quadratec tweeters?

Will this work for 2024 rubicon 4xe?

I agree, if it truly works well and sounds great, it is worth it for those who didn’t want a sub taking up trunk space. My question is how much vibration does this add to the passenger seat/is it worth the sound upgrade?

I upgraded to the 8.4 Infotainment from the 7". Will this system work with non- Alpine factory system but with a upgraded 8.4" head unit?

so I have the 7 inch non alpine stereo so does this add more power to the other speaker too? speaker bar and dash speakers?

Caution! You need to disconnect BOTH black battery leads from the main battery and each other!! There is a second 12v battery under the main for the start/stop feature. Leaving the two attached to each other will leave a full 12v running throughout the Jeep.

Can this upgrade be used in a 2020 Gladiator Sport S with the 7" UConnect?

Where can we get your wiring harness?

Does this work on a 2018 2dr JL Rubicon with the 7 inch screen stock headunit.. no subwoofer..

Now if you crank the base knob up can you control it with the settings on the radio?

I'd like to see an install for the Alpine PSU-300TCM in a Tacoma. Great video here, by the way.

What if i have the top of line alpine system in my 2 door Rubicon right now will it work with it ?

this will work on a 2019? i'd like to have a sub but keep the factory stereo for all the options

Wow

Won't the heat from the that vent be bad for the amp and the sub?

Do you do any of your videos in spanish?, If not, would you guys be interested in doing so?

Love its stealthyness and ease of install. Problem is, one good dip into high water and you just ruined a 1300 dollar stereo

Would this system work on a 2019 2 door with the 7" screen?

Around 2:20, did you say that Alpine has a new head unit for the JL?

22:45 "Adjust the Bass and let the Alpines Blast"

Will this system fit in a Gladiator?

Jikalau dulu alpine sakti di hi mid nplus low

잘보고갑니다

I have the 7-inch radio with no subwoofer, will this work on my JLU?

Using the drain plug to run wires through seems unwise

Will this work in my 2015 chrysler 200

I wish they had this for the Tj

I have its bro

Thought you would have played it for reference? ]

Does it bump tho?

Is that Sub and amp resistant to water?

Uh yeah definitely need a better system for my JK

This seems not meant to be an upgrade to the factory upgraded system with the 8.4 screen, but on the website, I asked and was told it was... Have asked questions a few times on the website and received the wrong answer...

This was a well put together video, except its missing one very important detail.....WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE SPEAKERS AND SUB PLEASE

Can this be installed on an upgraded (from factory 5") 8.4 inch jeep sound system?

I think I`m going to "GO AHEAD" and pick this up. go ahead

1200 dollars are you crazy

Wow- $1300 for a sub and a pair of tweeters? Looks like you'd be better off to just pay the dealership the price of the factory Alpine system as it is the same price. It's nice that it is plug and play though.

1299 !!! No thanks

$1300 I can drop off my wrangler at the local shop and they would put a more powerful system for less than that.

Why not show how it works

$1300? lol Hard pass.

Just spend the $1200 and get the factory sub and upgraded system

That’s a ghetto system/install

NOT HAPPENING!

rip off! $1299

so....they engineered it to suck, then they tell you it sucks and say but we have a fix for ya....but it'll cost ya....just like game developers and their DLC content. Here; we have this cool game for ya, but you need to buy add-ons to make it better...

Rob... PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP TALKING WITH YOUR HANDS!!
