$500 Jeep TJ Audio Upgrade 

I've posted a few since this one, but I dont have much more to do to this Jeep! LOL

@@NewcomerGarage I've been watching so many TJ videos I want one so bad haha! Also where are you located in Illinois. I'm in Illinois as well!

@@Coachwoods25 NW Illinois, on the border of Iowa.

Sounds good, glad you're happy with how it sounds! I used to be a big fan of the older Kicker stuff up until a couple years after Best Buy started carrying them. Quality really started going downhill around that time, then even more so when Wal-Mart got ahold of them. The main reason I didn't go with their speakers on this setup though is that they aren't marine rated. Ive always tried to use marine rated stuff in Jeeps since back when I installed professionally. They tend to be exposed to the elements more than other vehicles, so the marine stuff holds up a little better. The only amp you could get away with in the dash area without risking overheating regularly would be one of the small digital "Powerpack" style amps that are designed for that. Or, so.e of the newer digital amps designed for motorcycle applications would work well, and be marine rated as well!

@@NewcomerGarage I haven't had any issues yet and I wheel on the beach a lot. I'm not one of those fools who drives thru the waves ruining the frame and every other thing not salt water proof. These Kickers and everything else was bought several years ago, I had all of them in the garage for about a year, in no real hurry to install. Just bought 1 to 2 pieces at a time since it was a budget build.

@JeepTJWheelin yeah, ot typically takes quite a while for issues to arise. My preference for the Marine equipment is based a lot on doing it professionally for so long and doing everything with the goal of never seeing the customer again until they are ready to upgrade or they bring you another vehicle to work on. (Avoiding "warranty work")

Glad it was helpful!

Should sound nice when it's all done!

I didn't want it on the dash. (I think they look tacky) The radio I'm using has subwoofer level control on it if needed.

Never said the TJ was $500. The audio system is $500. Technically, this Jeep was free to me as I inherited it when my aunt passed away...
