Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

Chris said:
I see a lot of questions about how to get a better sound system from your Jeep Wrangler TJ. People will often dismiss the TJ as being a vehicle with poor sound dynamics to begin with, and while this is true to some degree, I can tell you that the sound system I have in my 2005 TJ Rubicon is absolutely killer, and it didn't break the bank either!

At 65+ on the highway with the doors off and the top off, I can hear the sound loud and clear without any issue at all. I have my subwoofer volume set at 6 (out of 12) and the subwoofer volume on the amp only turned to half way. Yet the bass still kicks like you wouldn't believe!

Here's what I am using for my setup:
Some of the components I bought from Crutchfield, while others I got from Amazon.

But that's it, literally. I mounted the amp underneath the front center console (it's a very tiny amp) and the subwoofer is mounted in place of the factory subwoofer (which some TJs came with). The amp powers the subwoofer alone, and the speakers are driven off the head unit.

This sound system is no joke, I mean it. I was expecting it to be a little better than stock, but I wasn't expecting it to be this good. If you crank the volume all the way up to 35 (the highest it goes), it's deafening.

I highly recommend this setup to anyone who is looking to improve the sound in their TJ without breaking the bank. This is all you'll need, I can promise you that.

So while this isn't a "how-to" guide in terms of installing it, I feel like this is a fantastic setup at a price that won't leave you broke.

Thanks a bunch, let me stew on that !
 
Where are you guys buying BLAM from now days?

ABT has a sale on the AudioControl ACX series amps. ACX300-4 $289. ACX300-1 $239

Im looking at the JL C1 6.5 components and 5 1/4" coaxials.

Nevermind about the C1's. They aren't worth it.

@skrelnik posted a site awhile back:

https://incartec.co.uk/

There seems to be some issue with their homepage redirect, or whatever, but if you navigate from there you’ll find BLAM stuff.

That's the website I had bookmarked forever. It's horrendous.

It's hard finding good quality 6.5" speakers that brand match a good 5.25" coaxial.

Sundown Audio, D4s pro or neopros, Deaf Bonce Arnolds can get pretty loud and take lots of power.

Image Dynamics still has amazing sound quality and made in the USA still.

JL and Rockford Fosgate are too proud of their products now days with their pricing. I wish I could trust NVX more. Hertz and Focal have wayy too many models to look at. DS18 is all over the place with either junk or way too expensive.

Of the sound tests I've heard online I like the way the Pioneer Z series sounds a lot. Probably those or the BLAMS's are my top 2 right now. I wish I could hear a set of Kenwood Excelon KFC speakers.

Kickers are too bright and tinny sounding now days.

Thinking about putting 2 10"s in a SubThump box.
