Quadratec is the only one that I have seen. It comes with a 5.25 Kicker.
I'm currently making my own speaker adaptors for a 6.5 and a tweet.

So this will utilize the factory amp? Have you made any other speaker/amp upgrades on the 24?

This is their description.

Better Sound: By using computer optimized sound ports that are tuned specifically to match Kicker Speakers you will get increased efficiency, better bass response & lower distortion for cleaner sounding music.
Plug & Play: No cutting or splicing wires are needed for installation, simply remove your old speakers plug in the new ones and reuse the factory speaker grills.
Direct Replacement: These speaker kits are engineered to seamlessly fit the factory sound bar mounting locations, preserving the original look of your Jeep.
*Note: Will Not Fit Jeeps With Factory Subwoofer

This is the only soundbar part that I have found in my research. I stopped looking about 45days ago.

Yes, I ripped apart everything The stock amp is still there but not running any speakers.
I'm working on the bar now then I will be done.

Any updates on how this all went?
looking to buy these speakers but wondering if I’d need a new amp & if so which works best?

I just made my own adapters

How’d you go about making your own adaptors? I was debating getting some 1/4” ABS plastic to cut a customer adaptor, but I don’t think I’ll have enough clearance with the factory speaker grille

You are correct. I used 1/4" and then I used 1/2"for a spacer. I'm a slacker, I just need to get longer screws, then it will be finished. I guess I could have frenched them in. I had enough room in depth.
I just made a templet out of 1/4" MDF and used a flush cut bit.

Thanks for the advice and the photos! Definitely helpful.

Looks great! I’m debating whether to wait until an aftermarket adapter comes out, or fabricating something myself.

Thank you.

More companies are rolling theirs out soon. Quadratec has something and I believe DS18 has a full soundbar.

Looks like DS18 is doing 20% off site wide... I'm really contemplating their 2024+ loaded overhead sound bar. Anyone have any experience with it?
