I added two kicker L7 12" subs to my JK. It is in fact louder than stock 😁

 

Could you possibly PM me the name of the other forum (or a link to the write up if you happen to have it)?
Thanks

 

Just a note, that Pioneer woofer that is suggested is not a good fit for the stock subwoofer box. It's a free air woofer or requires a box larger than the one in your jeep. The tweeter mod is cool, but look at the Rockford Fosgate 8" shallow sub, it's a better fit.

 

Like I said, I'm an amateur and following others recommendations. Thanks for the advice; if the Pioneer isn't good enough, I'll give the Rockford a try and perform a home sound off. Would I need the 2 or 4 ohm model?

 

I'm pretty sure it's 2 ohm otherwise what you can always do is buy the 4 ohm, test it and see how it sounds, and if it sounds like it's not getting enough bump, you could always run a 4 ohm resistor in parallel to bring it down to 2 ohms.

 

Yes correct, dual voice coil two ohm. You actually have two sets of speaker wires for your factory sub so one will go to each coil on the RF sub.

 

I had previously replaced the sound bar speakers with the Kicker upgrade. It improved the sound pretty well but still seemed underwhelmed. Just recently noted that the speakers have improved over time (break in). I replaced the fronts this weekend and even more improvement but will be anxiously awaiting the break in on the fronts as well.

 

I am completely stereo illiterate. What do you mean by they moved to components in 2015? Is that something to do with the speaker itself? Because Im pretty sure my 2015 speakers are still one of the ones that look like it was made out of a Cheerios box. Basic radio, and head unit. Nothing special.

 

Bump for my question. Still need to do something about my cardboard speakers. Sounds like garbage.

 

Component speaker=separate woofer and tweeter. All Jeeps from 2007-now had component speakers in the front. In 2015 Jeep added component speakers in the sound bar.

If you did it right, from 2007-2014 you would buy a set of 6 1/2" component speakers for the front and a pair if 6 1/2" coax speakers for the back

New in 2015, you buy two sets of 6 1/2" component speakers.

The kicker replacement speakers are coax so they have no place in a 2015 (if you are doing it right). There are many component speakers available in a budget price range. Many people just buy the Polk DB6501 components without ever hearing them and are happy with the results.

Part of the fun of car audio is auditioning speakers and choosing the ones that sound best to you. Go to a stereo store and listen, then decide what you want to put in your Jeep.
