Just did this but I added some poly fill to the inside of the box to deaden it a bit, I highly recommend doing this , it gets rid of any hollow sounds and gives it a deeper bass!

[@starboy1100]

What is poly fill and where can I get some?

[@robertst.jacques2075]

If you take the dust cover and cut out the screen you can use it as a spacer to put underneath the speaker and you won’t have to cut out the plastic parts inside the box

[@bertdistefano6850]

I’m going to do this, seeing how you’re a good idea guy, any idea why the stock speaker had two separate connections, like now I have a brown and grey wire with no use??

[@Justinsday2day]

Bro I literally had all of the exact same issues... Like to THE TEE. Especially the blue wire with the white stripe being cut and because of this tutorial I now have base. Thanks!

[@Garagecouple]

Wow, crazy. So glad to be able to help!

[@ryanb1190]

Dude. Thank you!!! I had almost the same exact issue. JVC deck with one blue tied into steering wheel controls…my 01 Sahara doest have controls lol. Tied all 3 blue together and presto!!! Finally have decent sound! Wish I figured this out last summer the first time I ripped it all apart. Great video and digging the sub. Cheap fix for my old girl. 👍👍

[@Garagecouple]

So glad to hear this helped! Cheers!

[@jimmyvalhalla1939]

The Pyle PLPW6D is a dual voice with 4 connections. It is the recommended sub on all the TJ/LJ forums.

[@Garagecouple]

Good call!

[@holedem26]

Is the connection process different for these model?

[@jimmyvalhalla1939]

@@holedem26 the Pyle uses screw down connections. I just snipped the terminals off of my stock wiring. It’s super easy.

[@gkfreefly1]

Jimmy, I'm literally installing the speaker from the video as we speak. Is it worth it to return it for the plpw6d? Is the difference worth it?

[@Garagecouple]

We've had both. You wouldn't know the difference.

[@JoseOrtiz_1416]

I would add some poly fill so that you can get a crisper sound without crazy vibrations

[@Garagecouple]

Good call!

[@ForsakenGod23]

Hi Jose, you would put this in the casing of the subwoofer? Is that correct?

[@JoseOrtiz_1416]

@@ForsakenGod23 yes

[@fomocoloco7172]

Loved the intro. I always bump my knees on tables, chairs, you name it lol.

[@Garagecouple]

Lol! The struggle is real!

[@chasturner1]

I replace my sub with same after watching this video. I went a step further and installed a 5ch amp to power the new sub and all my update speakers. Great top down sound.

[@Garagecouple]

Awesome!

[@jm5538]

Did this exact mod. Sounds and works great. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@paulgalli6433]

I miss my 06 TJ, they were so easy to work on or mod compared to my 2020 JLU

[@Garagecouple]

Yes they are!

[@Julie-uo8wg]

I don’t see a link for the $17 speaker. Also, it looks like you had to drill new holes for the sub to fit in the consul?

[@Garagecouple]

Its in our amazon shop! Link in description. and We did not have to drill new holes, just used self tapping screws

[@johnwhalen7462]

Any idea where I can pick up a replacement amp for my TJ? It’s dead and I can’t find one anywhere.

[@Garagecouple]

Ebay

[@johnwhalen7462]

@@Garagecouple I’ve looked everywhere including eBay. Haven’t seen a single one.

[@jlathem56]

I purchased a 2006 Rubicon that has a factory 7 speaker configuration. I plan to upgrade the aftermarket stereo and speakers after some much needed maintenance. I haven't found any videos on the rear speakers. There are plenty on front and roll bar speakers and you have made a comprehensive sub video. But do you have a video discussing the far rear speakers or the 7 speaker configuration and their replacement?

[@ColinAverill]

You probably figured it out by now, but the 7 speaker system consists of 1 subwoofer + 2 sound bar speakers + 4 front speakers. The 4 front speakers consist of 2 (1 tweeter, and 1 mid) mounted together in the location where the 4x6s typically would be in a 4 speaker system.

[@spartanCody08]

Congrats tyler! I really like the upgrade in sound you got from those speakers. I'm definitely going to give this upgrade a go.

[@Garagecouple]

Let us know what you think!

[@benjaminbyerly1521]

Okay so I saw your video, thought, why not, its 17$ and my jeep desperately needs the help in the bass department. Got the speaker and went to put it in, and nothin happened. My jeep had the same issues with the wiring 😂 needless to say it's all right now and the sub sounds so much better, thank you for the help

[@Garagecouple]

This is so funny! Glad you love it!

[@cantguarduno1478]

What center console is that? Mine is a 1999 Wrangler TJ and I would love to have that one instead

[@spastroboy]

Hey guys. Got a 2005 TJ Wrangler renegade. Came with stock 6 speakers, sub and I assume there is an amp in the centre console with the sub. Looking to replace stereo. Do you know if amp and sub still work with aftermarket stereo? Or do I need special converters?

[@Garagecouple]

It works even better with an aftermarket stereo! Cheers

[@spastroboy]

@@Garagecouple sweet. So just a standard JT harness and splice with the new Stereo iso? Sub and amp powered via exisiting harness setup but controlled via iso connecter to new Stereo? Major jeep noob here had it 10 years and never done any mods n

[@bxbomber24]

Sweet pool and backyard. I like that Torx wrench set, do you remember where you got it or which one it is? Just replaced my speakers with the Kicker plug-and-play options and it is definitely an upgrade over the factory TJ option!

[@Garagecouple]

Hi! Thanks for the comment and support. We got it on amazon, will have to dig up the link:)

[@parker4432]

Great video. wondering with that small of a space, if some poly-fill would help make sound better also.

[@ryanzreynolds3067]

You guys are awesome! Please tell me where you can purchase the center console that allows you to install a subwoofer, I searched everywhere, and not finding one. I have a Jeep Wrangler 2006 SE TJ manual transmission. Thank you so much!!!

[@bryantbaggett853]

I just started working on mine tonight! I hope I don’t run into the same wiring issues you did! Wish I could include a picture because mine came from a beach Jeep so it was sandy & rusty & falling apart!

[@spencerwarren9219]

Where is the link for the sub. When I click it takes me to Amazon for other products

[@ORJeeper]

Great video ----- What size self-tapping screws did you use? I ordered my speaker yesterday .

[@Garagecouple]

Congrats! No idea, we used what we had laying around!

[@thatguyfromhastings]

I think i blew my stock amp by using the kicker 1 ohm. It worked and sounded good but then suddenly nothing. I check the fuse and it seemed ok. Any ideas? Or ideas to find a replacement stock one?

[@Garagecouple]

Hmm, I have never heard of blowing a stock amp. You can find them on ebay, but I would replace with an aftermarket micro unit

[@christophertoberman7979]

As much as I want to stick with the TJ I think the wife did it better. We (my kids and I) enjoy her energy in both her voice and host style. Thanks for another quality vid fam!

Showing off your nice, green lawn, and we just got a ton of snow, haha! You need to clean your Jeep, though! I also totally didn't realize the sub could be replaced by an aftermarket - but I've only had mine out once to install my Tuffy console - Maybe someday I'll try that sub as well (if you guys recommend it, haha)!

Haha thats funny! The tuffy console is pretty cool! The sub has been perfect so far!

[@David.Gonzalez82]

I love budget installs! Nice find guys 🤟🏼

[@Garagecouple]

Thank you!

[@Jeff-wu6wn]

the 4 wires from the amp is for a dual voice coil subwoofer, the best way I found to add bass to my tj taking minimal space was to get a 10" powered subwoofer from Rockford Fosgate P300 series awesome sound in a small space and has built in amp and is plug and play

[@Garagecouple]

Awesome! Thank you for the suggestion! We have an 8 inch under seat powered sub which will go in on a future episode! Stay tuned!

[@theAGanimators]

If it's true that the factory amp is set up for a dual voice coil subwoofer, a Pyle PLPW6D looks to be a better choice IF the Jeep enclosure volume is around 0.5 cu ft. It's also a more efficient driver. The one star reviews on the one recommended in this video are enough to keep me from ordering it and if the amp is setup for dvc then that definitely kills it.
