    Looking at going with JL audio C3 components in the Wrangler. She had JL audio in our Subaru Forester before this, and loved it. Was C5 comps, with C2 coax. But I've had these C3 before, and we enjoyed them. Happen to have a set of 6.5" amd 5.25" collecting dust, could easily pop them into the dash and soundbar.

    Already started tracing out some adapters. Just need some time to do the swap, and save up for one of JL's little four channel amplifiers. Really liking those new RD amps - may give one of those a try.

    Well, small change of plans. Need to get the stock speakers out and make some adapters. Still planning on using both JL C3 component sets, but may also recone one of the busted 12W6V2 sitting in storage, and drag an HD900/5 out too for this build. Should make the wife very happy to have some good quality jams in there.

    One of the 12W6V2 refoamed quite successfully!!! Still not sure about the other one, it's sagging very bad and can hear a scratchy sound when you try to pull the cone back up.



    But, she now has a complete setup ready to go. Just need to get started.

    Total package will be:

    Kenwood DDX773BH
    iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR adapter
    iDatalink Maestro HRN-RR-CH1 harness
    Metra 95-6511 Dash Kit
    Metra 40-EU10 Antenna Adapter
    JL Audio HD900/5 five channel amplifier
    JL Audio C3-650 comp set
    JL Audio C3-525 comp set
    JL Audio 12W6V2 12" subwoofer

    Not many audio updates on this one. Had to reinstall the Maestro after the service did an ECM flash, but other than that, it and the Kenwood have been flawless.

    Did do an upgrade though recently - wife picked up some new wheels, and found an amazing deal on these tires from the same place that helped us with the Grand Cherokee. Now we just have to get the 2.5" lift kit installed!







    Hopefully I can work on the audio soon. She is not wanting a subwoofer that takes up a lot of room (like the 12W6V2 would) so that area is proving to be a challenge.

    Man those rims and tires look MEAN. You know where y'all need to go now
    They might say "don't try this at home" but nothing about not trying it at your friend's house.

    How appealing ! Really !

    A 13TW5-3 is just what you need. A circle inside a circle design. Figure 16" H/26" W/6" D using 1/2" with a bracing board from side-to-side and end-to-end.
    Good call on blue ! Wheels and tires make the look ! SWEET

    If you pull the heater controls, behind them, at the bottom of the center console, there should be a black box held in with 3 screws. It is the U-Connect module, the factory USB connects to it. I just did one the other day, and it was the first time I'd ever retained it.
    IIRC, when the Uconnect module is still in the vehicle, it was the plug nearest the steering column.

    I recommend unplugging the module's 24pin plug, so it doesn't try to pair to your (or your wife's) phones.

    Hey Jay! Thanks man. Ironically, the center console USB still works. I'm guessing it's purely because of the Maestro unit, but it does work. Comes up as USB2 on the Kenwood if I remember correctly. That Maestro piece has worked very well for the past few years. Only had one hiccup, and a quick reset of the unit fixed that.

    No doubt! We've only taken it to Uwharrie a few times, but will be taking her to the Outer Banks later in the year for our anniversary to drive on the northern part of the beach, maybe see some of the horses running out there.
