Underseat won't work in the Wrangler unless you're prepared to lose the ability to fold your seats. Gladiator doesn't have that problem. The MB Quart 10" subs need 0.65cuft internal enclosure volume and the factory Alpine enclosure is only 0.55cuft so that won't work either. Their 8" only needs 0.5cuft so that could work but I'd imagine not many would want to downsize. If they do an enclosure for the JL it will have to be either something like the JL Audio Stealthbox or take up the space that the cargo tray takes.I've been on the fence about the MB Quart system all week...
Anyone speculate why no subwoofer is included for the JL (underseat is available for JT)? For the top end package everything is included, except a subwoofer. Is it possible the 6.5" knee and 6x9 soundbar speakers together provide enough low end to compete with / exceed the OEM Alpine upgrade? Also noticed paper cones; I am not a car audio pro, but is that common today? I realize no one has installed one of these yet, so there's no real world experience.
I didn't go for the OEM Alpine upgrade with the idea I could do something myself for lower cost. I'd been leaning toward the PSS-23WRA (a little pricey for what it is) or something like it using the KTP-445U and my own components. Just trying to get a clearer/slightly-louder/fuller sound with an OEM-like install.
