Thank you for your video, it was very informative and very helpful. I finally got it done tonight. It sounds great even with the factory head unit. You weren’t kidding plug-in play exactly what it was.

Thank you so much Steve! Hearing from someone who has pieced it together on their own, its great to hear the acknowledgment in value for what we do here.

Using a drill for screwing down screws in speakers it's always best to use an adjustable sleeve on your drill to prevent from porting the speakers as well.

Great video. My 12yr old daughter & 10yr old son watched the video & install took them ~3hrs (with my supervision) in my ‘17 JKU Sahara w/ Alpine. Only comment is, rear speaker & speaker grille Torx screws are T20 in my ‘17 (not T15 like the video says). Kicker KS speakers sound great. Definitely more bass punch than the factory paper speakers.

I have the infinity 8” sub on the passenger side like to keep the 8 but what do u recommend I don’t wanna look space

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!

Which is better the kicker or the Alpine SPV-65X-WRA?

You should never have to cut the factory connectors off. If someone wanted to put the factory system back in, now they can't. They make connectors to just plug on the disconnected harness that will match right up.

The one thing I hate about the Factory amp is that there is no fader. I can adjust left and right, but can't adjust the fader. I plugged my new speakers straight into my new pioneer head unit. Now I can use the overhead speakers more. No amp or little sub in the back, but the four new speakers sound much better.

I want to upgrade my sound system in my 2012 JK 2 door, but it does not have the stock woofer, will those speakers have a deeper Bass volume than the stock ones? Awesome vid btw!

@trailseven

Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! They’ll be louder, clearer, and crisper for certain but for the bass we’d strongly recommend adding the hideaway sub. It’s a tight fit in the 2 door but it is possible for a few creative spots.

Does this set up sound better than the OEM premium infinity set up? On the 2011 jeep wrangler Sahara?

@trailseven

Жыл бұрын

I can confidently say yes! It’s a louder, more defined, crisp sound. I will say that adding the Hideaway powered sub will absolutely compliment the set up. Our shop Sahara has (had) the stock amplified Alpine setup and the Kicker swap along with the Hideaway addition brought everything together very nicely. This along with an aftermarket head unit of course; which if you haven’t already seen, we offer plug and play Sony head unit bundles as well!

I just swapped the speakers on my two door JK and I didn't bother to remove the three screws in the dash on the passenger side. I used a quarter inch ratchet with a ten millimeter socket to do the bottom bolt on the speaker housing.

@@beesting987 I would think the 40watts x 4 of the Alpine would wake up the Kicker speakers and adding a powered sub should bring it all together nicely. Have you checked out our Kicker Hideaway powered sub plug and play bundles? But, if we were adding an amp, we would just go ahead with a 5 channel in order to add a standalone sub. Something along the lines of CXA660.5; which we stock as well!

We can. They would be fully prepped with the crossovers soldered and set up with the bullet connectors for an easy install. Email us at (support@trailseven.com) and we can get you taken care of.

Not anymore we’re not. The new versions don’t require that, however the cutting is the reason that we offered the bundle with or without the tweeters. The updated notes and product pics with the pre terminated connectors is in the works.

So glad that you asked that! This bundle will not, BUT, we are filming our JL/ JT Kicker bundle install today and tomorrow!!!! Our bundle will include a 100% Plug and Play Kicker upgrade that requires zero cutting, splicing, etc! Submit a contact form on our site so you can be notified when it’s officially launched! We expect a full video and product launch by mid next week….

Why doesn't the factory or dealer offer upgraded speakers from the beginning? How many people would say yes if they said your new Jeep will cost $500 more for Kicker or JL Audio speakers? LOL

That’s all good actually! Our shop jeep has the same set with the stock sub in the rear floor. Unless that sub is blown, you will leave it. The new Kicker upgrade sounds amazing with that sub and to add, we installed our 10” Hideaway plug and play bundle under the passenger seat which really compliments the system!

Correct, which is why we offer the 07-14 bundle as a 4 speaker option as well as a 6 speaker option. The 4 speaker is without the dash speakers while the 6 speaker bundle includes the dash, but requires cutting. Also, the 15-18 bundles don’t require any cutting at all.
