7 speader option

I felt it was a let down..

I like mine, I think it sounds good. I am not an audiophile though. If you are a big car audio person you probably won't like it.

Verrrry cheap-sounding, boomy lows with probably no actual response below about 100hz. BIG disappointment.

I just bought a Rubi and wanted the 7-spkr./sub. option, but could not find one otherwise equipped as I wanted with it, so what are some suggestions for improving the sound of the standard stereo. I don't want to give up console space and have a soft top, so a "stealth" installation would be great.

Perhaps a custom box behind a front seat? Rear seat?

Let's hear it from those who have done it!

Thanks.

Cheapest way possible is to put pillow stuffing behind the stock speakers...

Next is to replace the stockers with something better... Here's a writeup on swapping out the dask speakers:

Yep.. Sounds exceptionally bad Very disappointed

The "sub" woofer in the center console is small and boomy because of the space limitation.

It takes a large box volume to properly load most decent woofers. The factory sub plays what I call one-note bass. The bass control slider's frequency is too high to tame this large bass peak. I've been real tempted to just disable my sub and probably will after it warms up a bit. It would probably be possible to find an aftermarket woofer that is a better match for the console woofer cavity which would even out the response but it will have other trade offs too. Other than that the rest of the system isn't too bad but is probably somewhat of a rip off for what the package costs.

If you are at all serious about music in your jeep go with the basic factory CD system (or nothing) and sink the difference into better aftermarket components. The only to get even acceptable bass in a wrangler is to put a box, properly sized for maximum low freq. response and flatness for a specific good quality woofer , behind the back seat. A woofer and it's (properly designed) cabinet are a tuned system - arbitrarily changing either will get you varying magnitudes of poorer performance.

And the small, hard acoustics of the Wrangler interior aren't the easiest to work with either.

Here is what I have done. It is fairly theft proof (what do you want out of a rag top) and sounds great. I can even take my top off and it is just as secure.
