It's not your fault, but I did something wrong, or this sub can't handle a lot of bass. I compared the sound with my JT to my wife's JL. We both have a 10" sub. Hers is in a box, and we'll you know what mine is. When playing Cloud of Dust by Low Cash her's sounds great all the way through. Mine only hits about 10% of the base in the song. I know you don't know her setup exactly, but do you have tips to tune this one better?
@@OldFamilyGuy334 The cable has remained the same. You may have a different style grommet which we’ve encountered a few times. The grommet is most likely the hard rubber style vs the soft grommet as seen.
I would use the pedal commander for Uber and Lyft. As an Uber driver, I see the pedal commander might be the best companion. I know from watching it may not be the best experience, but definitely, I believe it feels definitely different in each setting.
I have a 2024 jeep wrangler Sahara and I bought the alpine spv 65X and it didn’t fit because the soundbar housing layout was completely different. Would the speakers you just showed work for my jeep?
I noticed a back up camera option on this bundle, when I decide to install and back up cam on the jeep, does the system have a plug in slot of the back up camera?
@@ThyBackBraceBoy Sorry but I’m not sure that I understand the question. Can you rephrase? Our cameras are now wired with a direct plug and play connection which connects to the back of the radio via RCA and pre-terminated bullet connectors for power.
@@Knight_Glider The 9000es has a superior DSP than the 6000. The 9000 is part of the Elevated Standards Sony line which is built specifically for tuning systems.
I have a 6 speed manual Gladiator Mojave. The access hole to run power wire to battery is occupied by the slave cylinder for the clutch. Where do you suggest to run the power wire through the fire wall to the battery?
@@SamuelMorrison-o3d You can route it through the grommet in the floor under the passenger seat, strap it on top of the chassis, and straight up which will lead directly to the battery.
@@PNSinstant It doesn’t need any modifications. There are very few instances where the top trim piece needs to shaved down about 1/16”. Some jeeps have a thicker plastic mold piece. Similarly to the rubber grommet in the tailgate for the backup camera. Some jeeps have a hard plastic piece that requires drilling through vs most that have a soft rubber piece that the wire can be pushed through.
The website says that this is for an upgrade on the sound bar for Jeep gladiator 2020 and up. However, that is not correct because in 2024, they put airbags in the sound bar so it’s completely different than what is in the video. The sound bar speakers will not fit in a 2024 gladiator sound bar.
@@hyemm The product page states “Kicker KS Plug & Play Speaker Bundle Upgrade (Factory Amplified) | '18-'23 JL/ '20-'23 JT”. It also states, “Not Compatible with 2024 jeeps.” We have it noted that these are for 2023 and below only.
@@johnpringle5842 Glad that you asked. We have a full plug and play amp, speaker, and sub bundle which demonstrate the installation using our Gladiator. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3tuUp_6iKuE.htmlsi=YHPt3xgw1LcOpR5E
@trailseven I have a 2021 Wrangler unlimited 6-speed. Its awesome to take turns with and toss around. Your video had me thinking about upgrading the sound system, also- the exhaust note is fun to listen to.
@@juanleon9497 Thank you very much. Not at all. We include, flash, and attach a Maestro module to each bundle prior to shipping. The entire bundle is literally 100% set up for a plug and play install.
Perhaps a stupid question, but for those of us who have the upgraded Alpine audio system in their JL Wranglers but want more ‘boom', is it possible to hook this up to the existing wiring and subwoofer that’s arleady in the cargo area, or is this not a thing? I would like to upgrade the bass in my JL, but it’s a lease, so I want it to be simple to install and easy to remove (sans wiring) at the end of the lease.
@@iSowelu Not a stupid question at all. Yes and no. Yes, would have been able to operate simultaneously with the factory subwoofer. Using the same installation as shown, the factory sub is not interfered with and still functions. However, No, only because this particular set up is not available for the time being. Kicker is re-engineering the design to resolve overheating issues with the first batch. The solution, is our sun and mono amp bundle which connects to the factory radio and doesn’t require any cutting, splicing, or customizing. When connected per our bundle, the new sub is powered by a new mono amp all while leaving the factory sub operating as normal. You will result in 2 functioning subs. Here is the link to the install video which includes links to our website product page: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XoISXTj6D_w.htmlsi=W3AKMllubxyPBT_o Let us know if you need anything at all!
Wrangler install would be awesome. This seems to go much smoother than a wrangler. I don’t see room under my 2020 wrangler seat for this amp. Kinda frustrating now that I’ve gone this far as to remove the seat
Just installed this in my 2016 jk and it was SO EASY! My radio I got from you guys had the red bullet connection! SO no wiring to the rear tail light. I was able to hook it up at the park while my kids played. haha
I love how everything is super detailed except for the power connection wiring, where it totally skips ahead to it being done and the guy saying "that is probably the most complicated part of the whole install" lol
@@hoghat1 Power at the tail light is no longer needed as our bundles now include pre-terminated connectors. The connections are now made at the back of the radio so the tail light connection is not necessary when purchasing our bundles.
@@Karlman32 Upgrading speakers will provide better sounding music over higher quality speakers. If you’re wanting loud, and bass, that will come from more power and a subwoofer.
If you have the factory installed subwoofer, then you have the factory amplified system. The JLU subwoofer is in the rear cargo area along the right side and is marked Alpine. The JL is located in the floor of the cargo area, and the JT is located behind the rear bench in the middle of the wall panel. The JT is not marked with Alpine and barely looks like a sub but you’ll see the horizontal grill.
@@trailseven I have the amplified alpine system with the sub in the back. The reason I ask is the product description states: “This is compatible with factory radios with the use of a PAC Aampro module, or aftermarket radios without a PAC module. “ Also: does putting this in a Jeep with the amplified system turn off the sub in the back passenger side, and only use the new sub that gets put under the seat? Or are both subs (under seat + back passenger) both work?
If you have any aftermarket radio, you won’t need the interface module. You will route the RCA’s directly to the radio vs the module. We can prepare the bundle without the factory radio connections as well.
I have the new apmPRO 4 non factory amplified, I just want my amp to my sub hooked up. The kit came with factory speaker harness, where does that get splice to?
You purchased the bundle from Trail Seven? If so, nothing in our bundles require any splicing. If you’re needing installing support, please call or email us for assistance. 301-450-3207 Support@trailseven.com Also, Please provide your order number for reference.
We certainly do have the solution to add this same set up into your 2024! Reach out to us directly so we can manually put your bundle together. Support@trailseven.com
Awesome video! Im really considering this bundle for my 2008 JK, my speakers are absolute trash at this point.. Is there a similar speaker you guys recommend to replace my Subwoofer with? Something I can use in the existing box would be awesome!
Just got this bundle for my kid and the 2015 JK.. and installed in in about 45 min taking our time. He has a big sub and I forgot the size of the amp but holy crap what a difference over the U connect system that came with the Hardrock edition.. Can you do a video or point us to a video that can help in tuning the speakers in? They are the factory Alpine.. Thanks
It absolutely will! We just may also have the interface available to connect to the factory ‘24 radio to connect the amp as well! 😁. Reach out to us for more info: support@trailseven.com
I have installed a similar system but infinity component speakers on the alpine system but all of the sudden rear soundbar speakers are muffled and twitters stop working or go in and out. Scratching my head looking online for solutions. Any suggestions?
The factory amplifier in the Alpine system can create a handful of miscellaneous issues. The solution is to bypass the factory amp and add an upgraded amplifier.
Installed my Sony XAV-AX6000 today in 17 Wrangler Sahara JKU. Service from Trail Seven was awesome. Packaging was great and this video was spot on. No problems at all with install and the head unit worked great with my previously installed backup camera. Could not be happier all around. Thank you Trail Seven for going above and beyond 👍
Thank you so much for your support, super glad to hear that you’re happy with the service and the product. Please let us know if you need anything at all!
If my jeep don’t have the premium system. But I want the rear speakers with the tweeter. Should fit correct? Just won’t have the extra connector for it?
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.
Is this better/more powerful than the Alpine PSS-24WRA complete sound system? That one is a complete kit for the Wrangler JL, 300 watt, for $2k. Not sure how this one compares in power output and quality.
We also offer full bundle systems using all Alpine equipment. Either way, the amps the amps in the full system bundles most definitely provide more power over the PSS-24WRA bundle, however the 24WRA is a great little compact bundle. We stock the 24WRA as well so if you would like to reach out to us directly, we would be more than happy to discuss the options. 302-450-3207, 9am-5pm est. Mon-Fri.
Not required for better sound, however if you’re looking for top down, doors off type of loud, then an amp would be required. Upgraded speakers will improve your sound quality, but “loud” is going to come from the power provided to them. So your sound system goals will determine if amps are required.
Do the rear bar speakers work when the unit is playing music and does fade controls work please let me know I am doing a lot of research because I am looking for a aftermarket unit for my 2010 Jeep JKU sport and where do I find the U-Connect box at on my 2010 Jeep JKU sport or does my Jeep have a U-Connect box?
Yes, all speakers work, fade controls work, and all factory features are retained. If your Jeep has a phone button on your steering wheel, then you have U-connect.
