For car audio, I recommend using Crutchfield.com (not sponsored FYI, just really like them). They're who I've used for every car audio install I've done as they make it really easy to get all the parts you need for your specific vehicle. Pick your vehicle (make, model, year, and options) and their gear selector shows you products that fit your vehicle. Select your gear (head unit, speakers, etc.) and the installation parts (wiring adapters, dash trim, etc.) are included for free up to $50 and discounted if they are over that. They also have excellent customer support and make it as easy as possible to do a DIY car audio install, you can learn more here: www.crutchfield.com/About/Val...

Be sure to reattach the two nuts at the top of the dash for the anti-theft bracket after removing it, they fix the metal dash sub-structure to the vehicle.

Good tip! I've noticed that my dash rattles a bit when I drive over gravel and I'm betting that's why

@@ProjectBilld If you have any plastic on plastic squeaking noises between the head unit bezel and dash panel (or anywhere else for that matter), craft stores are your friend. They sell 8x11 sheets of self-adhesive felt in different thicknesses, works great for eliminating surface-on-surface interior noises. If something thicker is needed, the furry half of self-adhesive Velcro works well.

I'm looking to upgrade the sound system in my jeep as well, (i have an 05 wrangler as well) and i was wondering how well the bass is on the speakers you installed. I love bass, and was just curious how well these speakers do with bass heavy music.
@ProjectBilld Жыл бұрын
Not much bass from the speakers I installed. I plan to add a stealth sub under the front seat as the stock sub is really lacking. You're pretty limited to 5.25 in speakers in the dash but I know a lot of people have installed 6.5 in speakers in/on the roll cage locations. That would get you a little more bass

Nice helpful video, does the wrangler have a stock subwoofer ? Did using the adapter cable to plug up the ddin head unit keep it functioning
@ProjectBilld Ай бұрын
The Rubicons have a stock sub woofer in the center console, though it isn't great. It uses the rear speaker inputs for the signal so yes the adapter cable is all you need. Be sure to hook up the remote control wire (blue/blue with white stripe) or the sub amp won't turn on

was there any special way to connect the factory amp for the subwoofer?..did you need to combine any wires?ty
@ProjectBilld Жыл бұрын
Nothing special as the factory amp takes its input from the speaker wires. I did have to check my wiring as the amp didn't turn on at first, somehow I missed the remote wire that tells the amp to turn on

Hey what radio did you purchase and how is it in terms of responsiveness? Does it freeze? And would ya mind dropping the link to where you purchased the dash kit also! Thank you

Hi Walter. Everything I used is linked in the video description. I've had good luck with Sony head units both with this one and in the past, not too flashy but reliable. There are cheaper Sony models than the one I used that I think would work well, I just wanted the hdmi input for the novelty of it.
@ProjectBilld Жыл бұрын
I'll add that the dash kit is not linked, but that's only because if you buy a head unit through Crutchfield they tell you everything you need for your particular vehicle

where did you get the adapter for factory harness? it isn’t listed in the description.
@ProjectBilld Жыл бұрын
When I bought the head unit through Crutchfield, the installation materials including the harness adapter were provided by Crutchfield based on my specific vehicle. If you use them you'll input your vehicle and they'll tell you want installation materials you need to buy. Let me know if that helps or if you need me to provide a link to the specific one

@ProjectBilld Ай бұрын
Hi Chaz, The new head unit had 2 usb ports running out the back of it and it came with usb extension cables. Those cables are what you see sticking out of the dash at 4:27. I ran them down behind the glove box. Let me know if that helps

What wiring harness is that? You didnt include this in your description
@ProjectBilld Ай бұрын
For my jeep it is the Metra 70-6502. I didn't include a link as it varies based on model year/vehicle and would be included in the installation gear if you ordered from crutchfield
@JendellOverland Ай бұрын
That makes sense, I see the wiring harness in the kit. Thanks for the detailed video
