I have found alot of people complaining about the sound in the JK, so I decided to do this writeup on upgrading either the base system or the infinity system. The weakest link in this setup is the garbage speakers that chrysler has used. I will be using the following:

1. Boston Accoustic Speakers out of a 2010 Challenger(5081670AB)
2. Flat Razor
3. Torx Bits
4. Socket Set

This was done in my 2012 so there will be several differences for you 07-10 owners.

I started by removing the sound bar speaker due to the ease of access. After I had them out you could really tell the difference in quality.




The only mounting difference I found was the different shape of the mounting tabs that caused the speaker grilles to not mount flush.



To fix this I took a flat razor and trimmed a little off each tab of the speaker grille.

Before.


After.

After trimming the speaker sits flush like so.


Then it is just a matter of pluging them in and mounting them back in. I decided that while I had the grilles off I would color match them to my exterior color, but that was just my preference.


Now we get to the fun part, taking apart the dash. This would take me longer to teach you how than it took to do it, so I will just post a couple of pictures of the bolts you will need to remove.

This was what it looked like in the final stretch.


Alot of work but the sound was worth it. I would definatly recomend this to anyone wanting better sound.

And this is it all put back together.

The infinity speakers are stock on the other mopars. Boston Accoustics is considered premium sound. The speakers only run $32.80 each MSRP.

does it sound alot better? im thinking about do it. and my dealer can order them for me and have them by friday.

I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I had the base system and after this speaker upgrade you will be hard pressed to find a JK that sounds better than mine. I found that I even sound better than Jeeps with full aftermarket setups. I have added a Kicker CVR-12 since I installed these but I rarely even turn it up. I still run the factory head unit and I don't have the factory amp. My bass setting usually sits at +2 and it sounds awsome.

trying to figure out why you took the whole dash apart?

im guessing you replaced all four speakers? how did the front ones fit? and the cvr thing a subwoofer right? i ordering 2 for now to replace the sound bar first. did you use poly fill of dyna mat?

Blade

I took apart the whole dash because I was painting a couple of trim pieces and the cluster. I didn't use any fillers dynomat/etc.
