I've read that it's better to use a 1.5 volt (I think a 9 volt popped some tweeters). According to the techs at Crutchfield most of the issues came with people using the wrong harness. The 2 harnesses for the jeep are 72-6514 & 72-7902. I installed my 4" kickers in the soundbar with NO issues, the 3.5" kickers would not fit without cutting so they are going back, and I will get a pair of the Mopar Dart kicker upgrades. FWIW upfront I'm running 6.5" kicker components in the Metra speaker pods. (I had a local audio shop install those). It sounds amazing.
The two plugs are different. I am going with the Select Increment sound bar adapters with Infinity components for my audio build.
47ksc404, I've got the kicker components up front. I should also mention that I'm running a Kenwood XR 600 running in 5 channel mode powering the fronts, sound bar and a 12 inch pioneer shallow mount subwoofer.@CMTAZ Which 4" speakers did you use. I want to swap mine out too and not sure what to get. Also do you know the impedance of the stock 4" speakers (might be market on them). I've already done the Kicker Dart 3.5s in the dash and rollbar. Huge improvement.
I thought so, the front stage is great. The soundbar was being set for rear fill (it sounded very flat). The 4 inch kickers added alot of fidelity, I have them filtered around 270 - 300 hertz at the amp (the Kenwood amp has a built in DSP). It sounds good enough that I probably do not need to replace the soundbar tweeters, BUT with 4 channels capable of pushing 75 watts, it is my guess that I'll probably blow them. Might as well change them out to finish the audio build.
I thought about that, but I took the easy way out and used the high pass filter on my amp. I also high passed the front 6.5 inch kickers. I low passed the sub slightly lower than the high pass on the kicker fronts. The soundbar was high passed somewhere around 300 hz not so much for the 4 inch kickers, but I still have the jeep factory tweeters installed.
