Reviews for Select Increments JLJT-Pods for 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
Huge Upgrade from the factory subwoofers. Great sound, Very easy to install!
They fit, look and sound great, very noticeable over my stock speakers and sound even better with the factory subwoofer, very crisp and clear sound.
Drop in and plug and play
Shipping was about a week to my door. Packaged very well. The instructions were very easy to follow and the installation was quick and easy. Took my an hour. These sound amazing compared to the factory speakers. Really nice highs and the bass packs a punch that you can feel in the seat! I love these and highly recommend, worth every cent.

Options it will give.
Swap out small factory speaker for more substantial audio quality
The box came well packaged. Upon opening there were quite a few additional accessories that are not particularly needed with the speakers, unless you are changing the two-ways on your premium unit. With that being said, some trimming on the pods may be needed to fit your tweeters (I just used a snap blade knife). The tweeters come with the plastic lock nut on it already. You will need to loosen the lock nut off of the tweeter by holding the tweeter with your thumb (applying slight pressure) and spinning the nut counter clockwise to remove. Other than that the install on the tweeters is pretty self explanatory. When you get to the kickers, you will need to install the wiring to the positive (red) and negative black to the speakers prior to installing them onto the pod. You need position the speaker connectors towards the molded section of the pod (or else you will not be able to seat them perfectly into the soundbar enclosure later on.) From there you grab your wiring, cut off the connectors off, and (for me, solder the wire to the provided connector) from there install the provided foam gasket material. Super easy and self explanatory. Note you can install the pods using the provided longer Allen bolts and washers. (I could not get the factory bolts to thread). After installing one side I can promise you the sound difference is most definitely there. Night and day difference in sound! I highly recommend these.
Right fit
I was excited when I saw these as I wanted bigger speakers in the soundbar but didn't want to cut it up like some solutions call for. I bought with the speakers for the Alpine premium package in my JT. I had previously put the Dart speakers in which helped but this really changed the sound. I can hear a lot more crisp highs from the back and deeper bass.
Install was straightforward and the instructions provided were very accurate. Biggest advice is to not over-tighten the grill; I did and it snapped the bolt right off the plastic. Some gorilla glue gel fixed that and looks good as new.
21 Mojave with factory alpine speakers is a great upgrade you can totally hear the difference and Great easy set up, but the only reason why I gave it 4 stars it that I had to switch some wires around. Make sure that the white wire (+) is matching the white factory location and the Black (-) to the black. The provide speaker taps they provide "the white plug" one the wires are switched when you get them. When I installed mine, they said it was a plug and play well it did play but when I would hit a bump the sound would cut out and my Factory AUX lights would flash off then back on and I would get message that would come across my screen, saying AUX switches inop till charge is meet or something like that when I would start the jeep. So I popped the pods out and after looking the provided factory wire loom plug was switched. looking at the new kickers I figured I would just switch the plugs at the speakers, but you can't the kickers have a big spade connector for the positive connection and then a small for the negative, so you have to switch the wires where they connect at the factory wire connections "the white plug". So, remember to look first at the white wire (+) is connect to the white and the black to the black and you won't have the issues I got.
