A how to video from when I replaced the factory speakers in my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited sound bar with JBL GX602 6.5" speakers (BUY THEM HERE: amzn.to/1XrlLa9). The factory speakers in the Jeep are muddy and have no low end. The JBL speakers provide better sound quality, some bottom end and have a built in tweeter.
The video goes upside down at times, but I think it works, so I left it!

Just put a few spacers between the speaker guard (each screw) and the soundbar to make room for the speaker 🔊

on the speaker bar the grill and the speakers are a T15 Tork bit size, also the extra speaker is not a tweeter it is more of a mid range so I would suggest leaving it hooked up, also he does not mention that the white is POS and the Black is ground

Hey Big Daddy, I don't know anything about the 16 he's working on but, in my 15 the white is negative.

when you were mounting the speaker into the plastic bracket, were you drilling new holes into the plastic on the jeep?

Hi Ryan. No, there is a mounting bracket that comes with the speaker that has several placement holes for various mounting situations. There is a combination that fits the Jeep holes perfectly. You just have to make sure you use a longer screw (provided with the speakers) to get it to grab the threads. I used these same speakers in the front, and when mounting they fit up there as well. It's just really awkward to reach if you haven't taken the entire dash off, which I refused to do. Thanks for watching and your comment!

I did this same upgrade in my '17 JKU. Did my soundbar and lower dash with the GX602's and did the 3.5" GX302's in the top of my dash. The positive wire in the soundbar is the black wire, the white wire is the negative. Don't forget to unplug the tweeter in the soundbar. I've noticed that you will not get great bass out of these, it seems the best setting so far has been around -3 to -4 for bass on my factory 420n/non-nav head unit. I stuffed the soundbar and dash boxes with poly fill. Very clean mids and highs and I can turn up the volume without any horrible distortion (with the bass turned down). I plan on doing the Kicker Hideaway self-powered sub to round everything out.

A sub is defiantly needed. There is no bottom end whatsoever with the JBLs, but the highs are there for it. Interested to know what it sounds like when it all comes together.

Hey man. Thinking on going with these speakers to replace the stock garbage in my JKU 2017. When replacing the front 6.5" did you use these and how did they fit? Did the speaker rub against the plastic of the dash?

When you pull it out, they are black and white. However, they have a connector that goes into the speaker. Around the 5:00 mark you can see it, you have to cut and splice the wires.

Hi RossMorrone, i've just installed this JBL GX602 in the soundbar of my 2014 JK Sahara (no tweeters inside) but now the sound is very glassy and a lot of treble (my equaliser is now at -3 for trebles), the bass is not better either (+7 on equalizer). Any idea ? thanks

In my follow-up video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppahqsSF0tbMdIE.html) I do discuss how there is a glassy sound to them. I would recommend a sub of some kind. I didn't get one yet, but I think it's almost necessary to fill in that bottom end.

What did you end up doing to prevent speaker grill from touching tweeter? Do you have a pic of it?
@RandomReviewsHowTos
@RandomReviewsHowTos 7 жыл бұрын
I kept the grill off. I don't mind the way it looks, especially from the front seat. While I was installing it, your option is to probably not use the foam in-between the mount and the rollbar, but you will risk rattling. If you can find a thinner piece that may help. Your last option is to keep the cover off that comes with the GX602's and leave the speaker bare.

I went with the JBL GX602s myself for my 2016 JK Unlimited. Great recommendation from this guy. Only difference I did to mine is I placed washers in between the speaker grille covers and my roll bar so that the tweeters weren't protruding the way they are in the video. Three washers per screw did the job nicely. I also disconnected the roll bar tweeters. For the front, I left the factory tweeters connected. Used poly fill on both the roll bar and fronts. I purchased the Kicker speakers before returning them for these JBLs. Just was not impressed with the build quality or sound. I'm all stock, no amp...these JBLs allow your factory stereo to power these nicely without needing an amp. A little lacking over all on the lows like he mentioned, but not as embarrassing as the stock speakers.

Why didn't you polly fill the box if you want better sound? And the foam tape you need to use. It's a gasket. Front dash takes alot of polly rear not so much

The mounts that came with the JBLs have several hole options. There were holes that did line up - they almost made a triangle shape to do so.

+Sylvain Beauchamp I actually took the original cover off and used the one that came with the JBLs. I didn't like that the cover was putting pressure on the tweeter. The only thing then is that the original tweeter in the sound bar is exposed. I think this can be covered up or used with another smaller speaker.
