I purchased a beautiful black Sahara JL (my daughter has named it "The Dark Knight")and love it. I opted for the base system as I knew I would be installing my own speakers and subwoofer. I'm away from home at the moment and would like to start the process of ordering the speakers so they will be home once I arrive later this week. My question is.......does anyone know the speaker sizes for the roll bar and knee panel? Thanks in advance for your help.

The speakers, in the roll bar, appear to be 4". Had my wife measure and send me a pic.

I have to credit Dreadnought_Leviathan for finding this info.....

His original post: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/after-a-lot-of-digging-premium-audio-details.3155/

"Here are some specs that I found after speaking with a Jeep associate. She suggested I check out the FCA media website to find some details. I even called Alpine and they couldn't give me any specifics.

Premium Sound System
The new 2018 Jeep Wrangler offers two sound systems:
  • Standard eight speakers
    • Two 2.5-inch speakers in the instrument panel
    • Two 4.5-inch front door speakers
    • Two 2.5-inch sound bar speakers
    • Two 4.5-inch sound bar subwoofers
  • Available premium Alpine audio system with nine speakers
    • Two 3.5-inch speakers in the instrument panel
    • Two 4.5-inch front door speakers
    • Two 3.5-inch sound bar speakers
    • Two 4.5-inch sound bar subwoofers
    • One 10-inch quad voice coil subwoofer
Still unsure about the details of the sub. If anyone has information regarding the specifications (impedance, wattage, etc) please post it here.

Here's a link to the site where I found the info:

I just spoke with the 3 different dealers it seems as though the speakers are only 3.5" in the roll bar. They pulled it up via my vin#.

if you have the primium system, there should be 2X 3.5's and 2x4.5's

According to media.fcanorthamerica.com I should have 2x2.5 and 2x4.5 (base system) but the dealer says they are 3.5 not 4.5

That Dot is 3.3 inches in diameter, so I guess the look roughly the same size, hard to tell from the angle... it’s odd, but wouldn’t shock me that the base system has 3.5’s, do we have any confirmation first hand of the 4.5’s in the upgraded system?

I'm measuring 4.5 inches from the center of one ear to the edge of the speaker. I then measure from one round edge to the other as 4in.

I plan on it. Since I have the speaker out I’m stopping by a car audio shop on today. I’ll post back once I get home.

Confirmed the speakers are 4" not 4.5". Jeep is measuring from the center of the ear to get the 4.5". The JBL club 4020 does fit, though a bracket and connections are needed.
