Installation Instructions for:

JLJT-PODS

For 2018 & up JL Wranglers and

2020 & up JT Gladiators

Tools required:

Torx T-30 driver

Torx T-20 driver

Drill w/ Phillips bit

Phillips screwdriver

Type 1 installation for standard sound systems (Page 1 & 2) for:

#28-JLJT-E empty pods (adding your own 2-way speakers)

#29-JLJT-K pods (with Kicker 2-way speakers included)

(Alpine premium systems begin on page 3)

ALL INSTALLS: About wire colors in your Wrangler or Gladiator sound bar…

In all cases, the wires in your sound bar have the colors reversed, so to speak. The black wires are actually the

pos+ wires and the white wires are actually the neg-. When you connect the included wire harnesses to the

sound bar harness(es) the wire colors will not match up. THIS IS OKAY AND THE POLARITY IS CORRECT.

Before we start…for #28-JLJT-E: using your own favorite 6.5” or 6.75” 2-way speakers:

Make sure the screws that came with your speakers aren’t too long and might exit the outer side of the pods (where the pod hangs over

the edge of the sound bar slightly). If so, you may need to use some shorter screws, or you could screw the ones you have in to create

holes, remove them, then cut down the screws a bit so they won’t end up poking through the other side.

PAGE 1

Before we start… for both #28-JLJT-E and #29-JLJT-K: On the next page,

you’ll only connect to the slightly larger plugs the factory 4” woofers used on each side of the sound bar. There is no need to

connect anything to the plugs for the smaller factory tweeters on each side. Those plugs will simply tuck back in their alcoves and

remain disconnected. Why? The 4” woofers are 4-ohm and have the full sound spectrum in the wires. The smaller factory

tweeters are 8-ohm and also have the full sound spectrum in the wires, BUT… each side of the sound bar is wired in parallel, so

you’ll send all the power to the new larger speakers instead of splitting it, and get the best sound and the highest volume levels.

You’ll use these larger connectors to mate to

the connectors that came with your pods.

These smaller plugs will stay disconnected and tuck back in their

alcoves. You can also tape or tie them so they don’t rattle.

You can print color copies of these sheets on the website if you’d like.

Type 1 Installation for 28-JLJT-E and 29-JLJT-K 1 3 2 Remove foam pieces. Remove the sound bar grilles with a torx T-30 driver or 5mm Allen driver. You’ll reuse these factory screws to attach the pods so keep them. Remove the foam pieces and then remove the plastic port tubes with a torx T-30 driver and pull off the rubber gaskets, then put all the screws back in place tightly. Remove the factory woofers and tweeters with a torx T-20 driver and disconnect the speakers.

Type 2 installation: Premium Alpine® systems with factory subwoofer for: #30-JLJT-AE (Pages 3+5) or #31-JLJT-AKC (Pages 4+5): The first thing to address are the separate tweeters. Find your section below or on the next page. #30-JLJT-AE and using your own favorite 6.5” or 6.75” component speakers… BEFORE WE START: • Make sure the screws that came with your speakers aren’t too long and might exit the other side of the pod (where the pod hangs over the edge of the sound bar slightly).
PAGE 4
#31-JLJT-AKC with Kicker Component speakers included: Your pods will already have the tweeter holes pre-cut. The premium Alpine system already runs the sound spectrum through its’ own crossover and amplifier network. The larger woofers in the sound bar receive only the mid’s and lows. The smaller speakers receive only the highs.
