The Jeep Wrangler Factory Stereo System

When it comes to enjoying great music in your vehicle, it's hard to beat the standard sound system included in all Jeep Wrangler models. Complete with eight speakers, AM/FM/CD/MP3 capabilities, as well as both SiriusXM satellite radio and auxiliary inputs- you have everything necessary for a fantastic listening experience at your fingertips.

If you feel extra fancy, you can opt for the 9-speaker Alpine upgrade. It has either the standard radio or an optional navigation system, complete with a weatherproof 8" subwoofer in the back.

Once you decide to switch out the stock receiver, you'll miss out on the built-in navigation, satellite radio, and aux input sound system. Still, those can all be replaced with an aftermarket stereo system – and you'll get even better sound quality. Both 2-door and 4-door models are the same in terms of receivers and rear speakers.

Replacing the Factory Radio

You can replace the original radio in your Wrangler with a single-DIN (2" tall) or double-DIN (4" tall) receiver. Removing the factory radios head unit requires a bit of work, but it is doable for most DIYers.

Installing a single-DIN receiver is relatively straightforward; you need to attach the receiver to a custom bracket and make the necessary wiring connections.

The installation process of a double-DIN receiver is more complex compared to a single-DIN. This involves the removal of the metal support bracket behind the old radio and cutting out sections on the roll bar at the top of the dashboard opening for it to fit. This trimming should not be excessive, so be careful when completing this head unit installation step.

Replacing the Factory Speaker

Replacing the front speakers in a Jeep Wrangler is time-consuming but not difficult. The dash and soundbar speakers are easy to change. Investing the time is worth it for the result.

Front Speaker

The Wrangler's doors are different from other SUVs because you can take them off-roading if you want. This means the rear speakers that are usually in the doors have to be put in other places, like plastic boxes that are fastened to the area below the dashboard.

Removing the driver's side enclosure is hard and takes a long time. The passenger side is easier but still takes up a whole afternoon. You don't need to be a genius, just take your time and keep the parts and screws organized.

Alpine system's factory speakers are four in number and measure up to 6-3/4". You can replace these with either a smaller size of a speaker like the 5-1/4" or with newer models of 6-1/2", but only if you have an adapter bracket specially made for this purpose.

Don't forget; cutting off tabs from the stock's enclosure is also necessary if you go down this route. Moreover, purchasing radios with low impedance ratings between one and two Ohms will ensure that the volume level remains intact.

Front Tweeters

Positioned on the dashboard and connected to the front speakers, are a pair of tweeters measuring 3-1/2 inches. To switch them, you have to take them out. To install the new tweeters, you must first ensure that the depth and size are appropriate.

If they do not fit properly, there may be a need to utilize adhesives such as glue, straps, or silicone to hold them securely in place. The stock grille can still be kept intact.

Soundbar Speakers

The Wrangler has big 6-3/4" 4-ohm speakers and 3-1/2" tweeters in the soundbar. You can get the same size speakers, 6-1/2" or 5-1/4" ones, but you'll need a bracket if you get the smaller ones. If you get aftermarket radios, you may need to use backstraps, hot glue, or silicone to mount them.

Make sure to check the depth so the new sound systems fit in the grille. The soundbar speakers are good in the rain, but you should get marine-rated speakers. That way, your aftermarket speakers will still work, no matter how much you splash in creeks and mud.

Adding an Amplifier

The factory radios are okay but not strong enough. In a Jeep Wrangler, you need lots of sound power to hear the music at high speeds. Getting a new amplifier will give you more power than you need to get the sound quality you want.

Bass Speakers in your Jeep Wrangler

The Select Increments Stealth-Pod is a top-notch option if you want to have an additional bass in your Jeep Wrangler JK. Thanks to this tough black plastic box, adding some extra boom to your car audio system has never been easier!

Designed for easy installation in your vehicle's tailgate, this versatile accessory lets you transform any mundane drive into a concert-worthy experience simply by adding a subwoofer and amplifier. Plus, since it's so durable and easy to remove, it offers added peace of mind while out and about.

And if space for large subs is what you need most, fear not – This box has enough room (35x12x9 or 41x13x26-33 inches) to make even the biggest bass dreams come true!

How do you Select the Best Jeep Wrangler Car Audio?

To know which after-market car stereo will fit in with your Jeep Wrangler JK, begin by identifying which radio model is currently installed. Look over the factory radio specs for this information as it may vary among Jeeps. Having knowledge of this detail enables you to consider other compatible and available stereo systems that perfectly suit your preferences.

There are many brands and kinds of stereos and head units to pick from, and you should search for top-quality speakers to offer additional bass and the best sound quality.

Both audio and GPS navigation in the Jeep Wrangler are supplied by an important element called the factory sub. This feature makes driving more enjoyable, allowing you to listen to music while guiding them through unknown areas.

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Jeep Wrangler Factory Radio Specs

Of course, one of the most important things  to know is your Jeep Wrangler radio model. It’s also important to invest in top-quality stock speakers. When searching for the best factory radio specs, keep these features in mind:

Audio Quality

Only high-sound-quality speakers and components in the factory stereo system are appropriate for your Jeep Wrangler.

Another feature to look for is how many amps RMS the Jeep Wrangler factory radio can produce.

Examine the more power output as well. You want a stereo system that can be loud, but it also shouldn't distort the audio at high volumes.

Mounting Brackets

Mounting Brackets represent a vital aspect of the best sound system. It must fit correctly into the Jeep Wrangler to avoid rattling or falling out.

When selecting mounting brackets for a new speaker, one crucial factor to consider is its shape and size. Optimum weight can only be guaranteed with proper dimensions in place. For perfect installation of mounting brackets on a Jeep Wrangler, make sure they do not stick out too far from the vehicle's body for comfort reasons.

Needless to say, the bracket should be built using high sound quality materials and should be robust.
