Why wouldn’t the alpine speakers work with the factory alpine system. Does alpine make soundbar speakers that work with the factory alpine system
Why it won't work: The Alpine SPV-65-JLT soundbar upgrade is engineered specifically for standard, non-amplified factory systems. Vehicles equipped with the factory Alpine premium amplified system use an external OEM amplifier and active crossover channels that send split, filtered frequencies directly to individual factory drivers, which can cause impedance mismatches or distortion with this aftermarket component kit.

Alternative options: Yes, Alpine offers alternative solutions or full speaker bundles (such as their S-Series speaker compatibility options) designed specifically to interface correctly with the factory amplified system wiring.
Are these compatable with the 2018 sport base model (with the smallest screen and no amp)? Or do they require more power than the system provides?
These would be a great upgrade for your Jeep. Not compatible with OEM premium amplifier and subwoofer, so nothing else is needed.
Will these really fit a 24 JL? My 24 has a light in the speaker grill. and it says no modifications needed but the video says you have to cut up the speaker housing.
No, they will not. The will fit 18-23 JL and JLU model years. 24 and newer mid generation refresh has had a change to the sound bar and speaker system. Sorry for the inconvenience.
How Do I know if my gladiator has OEM Premium Amplifier and Subwoofer?
A Gladiator with premium sound has a speaker visible behind the rear seat when the seat is folded forward. If that speaker is present, these are not compatible. If you are still unsure, you can supply a vin number. Thanks for your inquiry.
Is there a version of the Alpine sound bar speakers that work with the Jeep factory amp and subwoofer?
Unfortunately there is not a set offered for the premium sound with OE subwoofer. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Is there a way to wire these to make these work with the upgraded sound system? I had these on my sport and loved them but am awaiting a Rubicon and was hoping to use these speakers again.
No, sorry they are not compatible with that system option. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Do these speakers require an amplifier? I installed them without one and I am not happy with the clarity.
They do not. They are plug and play for Jeeps that are not equipped with the premium audio system. Thanks for your inquiry.
Hi, I have my 2019 Sahara JL and I don't have the upgraded alpine system in it, just a standard system, if I just wanted to buy just these would it work with factory
This is compatible with Jeeps that do not already have the upgraded sound package. They will be a nice upgrade in sound for someone looking for a more rich sound without needing to get a costly full system upgrade. Thanks for your inquiry.
would this work for a 2021 JL with the factory upgraded Alpine sound system?
No, it is not compatible with the premium sound system.
