Super fast and easy upgrade!
@nickted6351 Жыл бұрын
Purchased and installed these speakers in July and wanted to give an honest review for people thinking of purchasing. Massive upgrade from the stock speakers. For people wondering the loudness difference, I have noticed that I used to keep my volume around 23-25 using the stock speakers, now I consistently have it around 20-21 because they are just naturally louder. The biggest difference I noticed was the crispness of the music, individual instruments on songs are definitely more noticeable. I also found that I had to adjust the levels of sound (bass, mid, treble) to get the music to sound better with the new speakers but that’s all preference. Overall I recommend and I’m glad I upgraded, install took less that 20 minutes

I have bought the speaker package from this video and was skeptical about the ease of installation and would it improve the overall sound quality. I can fervently confirm that it is as easy as the video looks. The screws for the new speakers in my kit were not the same and it would have been helpful to get the speaker cover removal tool in my kit. But to get the vast improvement in sound quality for the price and small investment of time it was totally worth it.

Any upgraded speakers will be better quality and will sound better, however at full volume, with the factory radio, they’re not getting clean high power. If you’re wanting clarity, yes, the upgraded speakers will provide clarity. If you’re seeking “louder” that is a product of power which will need to come from an amplifier. In summary, they are going to be clearer and crisper over the factory, but “loud” will come from an amp. They can handle a ton of high amplified power and they’ll reach a whole new level of performance when fed properly.

If you’re jeep doesn’t have the factory premium system and you haven’t upgraded the radio or added an amplifier, we would NOT recommend adding the pod with the tweeter. In short, your factory radio cannot handle the power draw requirements of the additional tweeter. This can and will cause the CAN system to react in a protective state which will negatively impact the sound. You can install the pod with the tweeter if you have the factory premium system, have an upgraded head unit, or add an amplifier.

If you’re planning on adding an amp down the road, you will want to purchase the bundle that is marked for the factory amplified system. You can install the dash speakers, knee speakers, and the soundbar pods, however you will not connect the tweeter connection until the amp has been installed. Connecting the tweeter prior to will create power draw issues. Once the amp or aftermarket radio is installed, you’ll have the power available to not trigger the issues.

They’re undoubtedly clearer, crisper, and louder, however It’s hard to give a percentage. Also, you’ll be limited by your factory head unit. The Kicker speakers are capable of handling much more power than the stock head unit can provide to them. Before adding another amp, which isn’t an easy or inexpensive task with the JL’s/ JT’s, we’d definitely recommend swapping the head unit not only for power, but also for the ability to fully dial in your system with the built in EQ.
