Pillar-Pods Installation tools needed:

• Small thin prybar or thin flathead screwdriver

• Drill

• 5/16” hex bit and possibly small extension

• Phillips bit

• Possibly a 10mm socket & ratchet

• Possibly a small drill bit for pre-drilling speaker screw holes

• 2015-2018 JK’s also need 7mm socket & ratchet

Take a look! Plenty of room

behind the plastic for the screws.

(You don’t need to remove this

plastic piece, we’re just showing you

what’s going on behind there).

There are three types of installations, follow the one that pertains to your vehicle.

Installation type #1: 2007-2014 models with “standard”

systems (Non-Premium Infinity®/Alpine® systems,

meaning no factory subwoofer in the cargo area).

Driver-Side images are shown, simply

repeat process for passenger side.

Pop off tweeters with plastic

mini pry bar or thin flathead

screwdriver.

Disconnect and remove factory tweeters. If one of

those wires (Driver side) has an orange stripe, you

have a “premium” system and must follow

Installation #3 and will need the #3 install wire

harness. #PP0718-IA or #PP0718-IA-K (with Kicker

speakers) are the versions for your vehicle.

Push larger speaker terminal

of Pillar-Pod connectors through

grommet first, then the smaller.

(Tight fit to minimize air escaping).

Remove poly-fill from pods for the

moment. Run speaker terminals

through small hole in back of each

pod and seat grommet in hole

by pushing it in and picking it

through with your other hand.

Connect pods to factory tweeter

connectors. They’ll clip together.

Good approx. locations for self-tap

screws shown by white dots inside

pod. May help to pre-drill but not

absolutely necessary. If you do, be

sure to remove any plastic shavings

on the other side from drilling through

so you get a nice fit on the plastic

windshield piece on the Jeep.

Run the lower screw in next. 9 8 Replace the poly-fill, spreading it out inside the pods, making sure the wires are hanging out. Connect terminals to speaker.

If you have 2015-2018 Wrangler, remove factory tweeters as seen in these images. Pop off tweeter covers with plastic mini pry bar or thin flathead screwdriver. Disconnect and remove factory tweeters. The plugs can drop down in the cavity, you won’t use them for this install type. If one of those wires (Driver side) has a purple stripe, you have a “standard” system and must follow Installation #2 and need one of those wire harnesses instead.

Later Models: If factory amplifier on back of DriverSide enclosure is making it tough to connect the plug: A B Give the panel under the steering wheel a tug, it’ll pop right off. Use a 10mm socket and ratchet and remove the two bolts holding this little metal plate on and remove plate. C Now you can more easily get to the plug. Attach one of the wire harnesses that came with your pods in a similar fashion as #4 image on previous page. Let wires fall to floor for now.
