Reviews for Quadratec Replacement Center Console Subwoofer for 01-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ & Unlimited
My OEM speaker completely deteriorated and left me listening to music that only had highs and mid range with absolutely no lows. I've had my eye on this for quite a while before purchasing and I was not let down. What I liked about it was that it was a direct replacement for the OEM speaker. I wasn't looking for an outrageous sound system, I just wanted to listen to my radio without any distortion using an inexpensive aftermarket stereo. This fit the bill perfectly, sounds better than OEM and can handle the output from my aftermarket radio unit. I'd purchase this again in a heartbeat, but judging from the build quality, I won't have to.
Awesome product, works as good or better than the factory original! Was really nervous about this product after reading reviews of this product on various forums. Don't pay any mind to 'em, most of those folks must be doing something wrong that would have blown out the factory speaker as well. I installed mine and can't tell the difference in it and the factory speaker. But there is a difference, the cone has a much tougher rubberized coating where it attaches to the speaker frame. Only discernible difference is the factory speaker has an attached screen. The screen is not needed, it only keep dirt from being blasted back out of the cone. If you want the screen, pull it off the original and glue it onto the replacement.
The instructions could be a little better, you may want to Google for some supplementary instructions, but note, even those miss a view things too. Biggest issue is getting the push nuts on and off. Would have been nice if Quadratec included two extra push nuts instead of some screws you don't need. Here's the deal, it's really hard to get those push nuts off without destroying 'em and, frankly, it ain't worth the time to do so, just measure them and go get some extras before you start and then cut them off. There is also a trick to putting them on. They slip right on but you have to use a socket to push them on with that is just right, not to wide and not too tight. The instructions need to specify that sock size.
Excellent value for the money. As best I can tell, all other speakers require modification to fit and are the wrong impedance, meaning you have to also purchase and find a place to mount a pre-amp.
no issues, product arrived on time and in good condition. installed easily. remember to crimp the leads well, at first mine didn't work until i crimped it better. also you don't have to break off the little serrated rings on the underside as told to do by the videos online. just use a very small screw driver to bend them and they will slide right off. then bend them flat before re-installation. good as new.
Worked and installed as advertised. Sounds good like when it was new
Works great. Install was easy. My old sub was so bad that it literally fell to dust as I was removing it.
Speaker works great and very easy to install.
Direct fit replacement with great examples. Appreciate the details in the directions.
A bit pricey, but when you offer the only OEM sized replacement sub, that's economics 101. That being said, this subwoofer delivers. Remember folks it is 6.5" not 12". Install was a breeze, just wish guys at Quadratec would just include two new spring washers, those thing are a bi*ch to keep nice. First time customer, I'll definitely be back!!!
Perfect took 30 Mins max to replace and sounds great quality
When I purchased my 2006 Jeep Wrangler the center console subwoofer was already no good so I had no idea how it was supposed to sound. I just received my QUADRATEC center console subwoofer replacement yesterday. I installed it today and WOW, what a difference it makes. It's very much worth the price and the best part is it sounds GREAT !!
