I've read up a bit before posting on the audio systems/upgrades etc in the JL, but I just had a question or two that I couldn't really find an answer to.
I have the 7 inch Uconnect with the non-Alpine factory audio in my 2019 JLUS... while it is good for what it is, I am kicking myself for not holding out on the upgraded audio because it just lacks a little power.
I'm looking into getting a mono amp and 10" sub (SSV works custom enclosure for the driver's side cargo space from Crutchfield). Am I able to just wire the amp and tap the left and right channels from the soundbar speakers for adding just a sub?
If I wanted to, in the future, upgrade the factory speakers and either replace them or add an aftermarket amp for those is that possible/does the non-alpine setup have a factory amp (like the Alpine setup) or is it all just powered off of the headunit?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I did a little more digging and was able to answer my own questions. I didn't realize I needed a line output converter to be the middle man in between the tap and the amp.
If anyone has any further tips or tricks that would be welcomed!
