Alpine Electronics PSS-23WRA Powered Sound System Upgrade for 2018-Up 4-Door Jeep Wrangler JL Without The Factory Upgraded Sound System

I installed this on my 2020 JLUR. I have the 7-inch Uconnect system with standard audio/speakers. This system improves the sound dramatically. I love bumpin music an this system does the job. Also, the tweeters make listening to podcasts or talk radio WAY better! The most difficult part of installation is removing the passenger seat bolts. I busted a couple extension bits, even Dewalt Impact buts. The system is a breeze to install though - all plug and play. It is very expensive, but the ability to plug directly into the factory head unit and having the sub mount under the passenger seat was worth it. I didn’t want a sub taking up valuable cargo space. The bracket was a little bent but I was able to bend it back easily. I highly recommend this! The system also includes the zip ties you need for the tweeters’ crossovers.

Ok so I own this for the past month, took over an hour and half to installed, real dummy proof, compare to other cars I have completed. Anyway sound well if you follow the instructions provided it's really poor I was hoping for much, much improve sound as Bk sahara and Bass Head point out over 20 the front speakers start cracking. I try to play with head unit I could only get to 28 before it will crack. So I played with the Medium and Treble still 28 and crack use fader more in a back and it sounds ok but still they will crack remember I did not speak about BASS to me they are filter Tweets so what's the point. Then I decided to put the Bass at -5 and full power no crack, what? what? what? put medium back at -4 full power no cracks. So I went back to the amplifier that highlight sub gain, from the owner manual and I start pushing and I finally went to full power put the arrow to max. Remote to mini, start playing JAY Z hard knock life and little up on the remote volume at 30 and what on the wold this sounds so loud and so good. Verdict, I won and they failed. In recap put the SUB gain to max, no other change radio -5 to -4 for bass, Mid to -4 and Treble -9 to -8, Try this and let me know, I have not blown the sub as of yet been a week now that I run the system like this. I will post back if I do. Going to ask the bad review to do what I did and see. 4 stars for bad instructions.

This is a must buy for the base JL Wrangler system. Totally transformed the sound and it’s plug and play.

There was a price drop so I bought it and when it was shipped the box was a factory box but it was repacked and the mounting bracket was bent it seemed that all the parts were there but the amp looked like it was a display model sticker was peeling off and it look like it sat on display for awhile . I would not have bought it if I would have known I myself have not had good luck with display models so I won't buy them sent it back and for a 150.00 more reordered a new factory sealed one .

Was a big improvement since I didn’t spend the money from the start. Factory system is beyond garbage, this was a much needed upgrade. Amp itself not quite sure if it has enough juice but the subwoofer will blow you away. My suggestion is to replace all factory speakers and get this system. Install takes about 3 hours, watch quadratec’s YouTube video it helped unbelievably. Overall all said and done it’s worth the purchase and I NEVER write a review but this one deserves it. Remember plug and play no wire cutting, oh…. And patience!

Finally got around to installing this system. Have to say I love it! Alpine updated the amp and sub settings that are different than what the printed instructions say. They have the right ones online. Check them out if you’re planning on installing this. Definitely think it was worth it compared to the base 7inch with no sub. I watched the Quadratec video on you tube and it helped a lot. I also changed the the sound bar to 6 1/2 JBL Clubs beforehand, this really brought them to life!

The harnesses are well made, everything else is garbage.The bracket that goes under the seat did not fit right AT ALL. I had to bend and adjust all 4 corners of the bracket to get it to line up where it is supposed to. Lots of damage to the finish from placing the seat over it many times as I made adjustments. There was a real concern that the seat bolts might crossthread from the bracket creating a "winking" effect where it failed to line up properly.As others have said in their reviews, the tweeters crackle really bad. We`re talking using the recommended settings in the user manual and with the bass and treble turned down on my stock head unit, tweeters are still crackling like mad. What is the point of including new tweeters if they cant even support the output from the amp? Matching amp output to speaker input is not rocket science, a name brand like Alpine has no excuse for a mismatched setup.Also, as another reviewer mentioned, you will have to cut / modify your rubber floor mat to reinstall them with this sound system installed.A bracket that must be bent into shape to fit, mismatched audio components, I have to cut my floor mats.. This is NOT a "Plug and Play" system as advertised, and is absolutely not worth the price they are asking.

I purchased my 2020 JLU with the stock radio because I didn't like the look of the alpine subwoofer in the cargo area. I decided to do a custom build, but I gave up after going to 3 stereo shops. Their solutions looked even worse than the Alpine system and would cost upwards of $3,000.After watching a few install videos of the Alpine upgrade system, my husband and I decided to try installing it ourselves. First let me say, thank you to all who created install videos. Watching someone else doing it made it a whole lot easier. Secondly we're both computer geeks, so we approached this just like another computer build. It took us 3 hours to install it... with a few hiccups along the way, but we did it and it sounds amazing. And, I didn't have to put an ugly subwoofer in the back of my Jeep.
