Reviews for Quadratec Replacement Center Console Subwoofer for 01-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ & Unlimited

I had to buy another one because after 13 months I noticed it was blown out. Pulled the console apart to check n see if amp was blown n to check the speaker. A wire that goes from the center of the speaker to the terminal broke off the speaker. Asked about the warranty even though it was 13 months but could have been blown for months God only knows. I thought I might catch a break with all the coin I've spent at quadratic but never got an answer.

I have to agree with many of the others. I’ve been a Quadratec guy since 90’s and love all the things. Recently replaced with this speaker and have to say it bombed out after about week 3. It still works but sounds horrible due to the voice coil leads rattling and occasionally even coming loose. I used e-tape to hold the leads back from the cone but after about 10-15 min it starts rattling again and sounds horrible. I didn’t return due to troubleshooting the factory amp originally and trying after market as well. Not one of my better investments.

This speaker only lasted two weeks before it quit working! If I thought it would do any good, I would return this paperweight to Quadratec. I would not recommend this speaker to anyone!! Instead you should look into the 6.75" offered by Kicker. It may not be a perfect fit, but the added effort of installation is well worth it for a unit that holds up.

Junk! Didn’t last 2 weeks!
It would work if you gently pushed down on the cone. Read on-line that is usually indication of a voice coil lead disconnected from the tensle coming from the post. Tried to fix it but ended up with a small hole in the diaphragm. Needless to say I can’t send it back. Don’t want another anyway.
Read that most TJ owners put the Kicker sub and small amp in its place or a powered sub.
It’s a shame, I’ve purchased thousands of dollars worth of parts from Quadratec over the life of my Jeep (since 2004), this is the first time I can say I’m truly disappointed in the quality of a product.

Subwoofer died after 14 months. I am 67 years old and do not crank the bass up. No unusual use just poor quality. Just replace it with a 6" speaker on Amazon for less than $10.00. Magnet was almost 2x the size of the Quadratec one. Only slight mods needed to fit the enclosure.

Do not buy this please. The factory sub lasted longer than this one. I only got an hour of use out of this sub before it blew up and I only had the volume at 16%

It's extremely simple to install however, like other reviewers, mine stopped working after a few weeks. Definitely not worth $90 .

The speaker sounded good at first but now the speaker is blown....if you have an upgraded head unit then look for a different sub

speaker rattles from initial installation. seems poor quality. I'm looking for another brand.

Speaker sounded great for a couple weeks before it blew out...
