Wrangler JL - DIY Radio Install HEIGH10 - HIGH END Sound & TONS of features!

Рет қаралды 282,018

Күн бұрын

Let's install the Stinger HEIGH10 in our Jeep Wrangler JL! If you have a Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT you may feel that the audio system is lacking. The first step for any great audio system is a great source unit. The JL/JT dash is very shallow though and doesn't have the room for a normal double din head unit. There are also many factory features like climate controls and vehicle option settings that need to be retained. How can we retain those features and get a large screen to fit? We need a purpose built kit! In this video we dive into installing Stinger Off-Road's HEIGH10 with Wrangler/Gladiator Integration kit!

I left the car audio installation biz in the '90's because vehicles were getting more complicated to install. Auto manufacturers made aftermarket installations much more difficult and factory units were getting better. These newer "black boxes" are awesome. A little expensive, but made wiring and integration much much easier. The industry did not even make factory radio harnesses when I started installing in the '80's. Lol.

@@chuckw6099 Me too. I installed in the '80's & early '90's. No harnesses needed and you could make your own kits. I then worked for /////ALPINE for almost 10 years and and started another career when I saw the end of 12v profitability . I still install 'on the side' and recently installed a X409-WRA-JL for a friend. Nice unit. I sometimes miss the old days and definitely don't miss needing the right firmware to get aftermarket products to work.

We have a 19' Rubicon with the 8.4" screen and alpine factory sound system. I'd say we are content with it for now. Nice to see another option out there when it's time to upgrade. Can't wait to see what you do for speakers. I was a little disappointed when I found out they went with smaller speakers in this generation of Wrangler.

This might be the first time I've heard someone praise built-in navigation versus mobile-based navigation. Living in Houston, there's always road construction or new neighborhoods being built so the built-in maps become outdated after about a year. Android Auto and Apple Carplay saved the day more often than not. :) Loving this video BTW!!

I love this step-by-step....thank you so much for taking the time to share this install with us! Couple questions I have is, why is it necessary to run another mic and speaker for chimes? And I can't find it anywhere what the RMS per channel is on this unit. I have the same factory set up as you, with the 7" non-Alpine system and all stock components. Trying to figure out where to start. So many options! Oh and my local shop said that they do a component 6 x 9 in the sound bar, and I can't find anything on the net with an example of this. I really love the idea of having that set up in the sound bar. Just a thought. Thanks again.

@CarAudioFabrication 3 жыл бұрын

Stock mic can't be easily integrated and isn't as good of quality. Some chimes must be recreated with the new speaker. Power output is in line with other aftermarket head units

@chuckw6099 3 жыл бұрын

The Stinger box say 4x50 watts. I would say it is more like 4x25 "usable" watts. I am running the rear channels to my Focal 6 1/2"s in the soundbar and it isn't as loud as my front set of Focals in the dash/knee housings. Those and my dash speakers are running off of a Kicker KEY 180, which is 4x45 watts. The rears certainly don't keep up with the fronts. Me personally, I would not think that 6x9s in the soundbar would have enough airspace, but then again, my dash/knee speakers' bass output is much better than my soundbar. Same exact speakers, polyfilled and dampened with sound deadening. The chime is required because the unit takes a long time to boot up, defeating the required government warning systems. The mic also puzzles me since the factory handsfree was excellent and now my friends tell me the new external mic with the Stinger unit doesn't sound as good. I have the new external mic on the upper left of my windshield/pillar area. YMMV on that.
