Sound Bar Installation

two4zero · 04-14-2005, 09:03 AM

I just bought a sound bar for my 99 wrangler and am going to install it this weekend. I ended up ordering it with speakers already in it (jensen 5.25) but I am going to replace them with some infinity kappa 5.25's that I ordered. I am also going to install infinity kappa's in the dash. Does anyone have any useful tips for when I go to install the bar?

Take the top off first?

hehehe

Nothing really to it, just run the wires down the padding, hook up, tighten down, enjoy!

put 6.5" in the sound bar and make or buy brackets to put 5.25" in the dash. Makes a big difference.

did you get the wiring harness that connects under the dash?

Yeah, second the 6.5's in the soundbar. They should fit with little or no problems.

If you are doing 4X6's up front, MAKE SURE you get the adapter plate to go with them. It's frustrating to get everything apart and realize the plates don't fit in there!

If you got your stuff from Crutchfield, they also sell the 4X6 adapters.
