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?

Was trying to find out why he said it wouldnt work if you have the upgraded alpine system. Have you installed them? Thoughts? Issues??

He did he said they won’t work if you have that

But why?!

@@Clark55.6Is it the harness on the speakers?

Facts ridiculous

I believe it's this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbR-pNZ-1L-6nac.html

Rotopax has one..not sure what the title is but I watched it last night

Do they work with the alpine upgraded system?

i'm curious as well. do you have a link?

@@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

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.

Did you ever figure this out?

@@josh88113 interested in more info

@@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

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?

Thanks!

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.

@@Quadratecplease can you explain why the other connector isn’t used? Doesn’t that effect the sound quality?

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.

I was thinking the same thing

How come nobody is answering this question

@@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.

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.

Check out SPV-65X-WRA: www.quadratec.com/p/alpine/spv-65x-wra-component-2-way-speaker-system-jeep-wrangler-jk

I believe they do make a kit for older JK Wranglers.

What are they going to?

So does that mean it won’t work correctly with a rubicon 392 Uconnect® 4C NAV and Alpine® Premium Audio System

I did the PRP Seat Covers in Daytona Red Vinyl

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.

What are you driving? Do you have a Wrangler (2 door or 4 door) or a Gladiator?

@@Quadratec gladiator

did the amp help at all? I installed mine and it basically sounds the exact same, if it works I may do the same lol

Following

@@rob1477 same here any info?

@@eli8375 I ended up just pairing the speakers with an amp and a subwoofer, when hooked up the right way they get very loud

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!

You can make these work, you just have to run speaker wires for them from the head unit back.

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.

@@Quadrateccouldn’t you just cut off the connectors and crimp the wires accordingly

I remember when I was poor.

I’d rather spend the money on some Hertz components at that price.

A Dremel would have been cleaner. :-)
