Whether you’re taking your Jeep Wrangler on an off-road adventure or just driving to work in the morning; having amazing audio can make a big difference.
What to Look for When Buying a New Sound System?
When shopping for a new sound system, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind:
- Think about your typical Jeep activities. If you’re hitting the trails or parks, you’ll probably want to invest in a great set of speakers to get the full experience. If you’re just commuting to work or daily errands, having a quality sound system can help you relax, elevate your podcast time, or support any hands-free phone calls you may receive.
- Consider your space. Because the size of your sound system can take up valuable real estate, you might want to look for a small yet mighty system to save on space.
- Adjust for affordability. There are many different types of audio systems out there, and they all have different features. You’ll want to find one that will suit your needs without breaking the bank.
Below are a few more details that can help you consider which sound system is right for you and your Jeep Wrangler.
Speaker Size and Location
The first thing you’ll want to decide when shopping for a new sound system is the size of the speakers you want.
The speaker size directly relates to the type of music you like and where you plan to place them in your Wrangler. If you plan to listen to a lot of hip-hop, for example, smaller speakers won’t be able to produce the bass you’d get from larger speakers.
You’ll also want to think about where you’ll be placing your speakers in your Wrangler. If you have a small sound system, you might have to get creative with where you put them since they’ll need to go inside of the cab. A larger sound system will allow you to place your speakers in the front and rear of your Jeep.
Amplification
Amplification is important for any sound system, but it’s especially important for Wrangler owners.
If you want to make sure your music can be heard above the noise of off-roading, you’ll want to invest in an amplifier or sound bar.
A good amplifier will boost the volume without distorting the quality. If you plan on placing the amplifier behind the seats, you’ll want to make sure you have proper ventilation to avoid overheating.
Antennas
For all of you old-school music fans who love to jam out to the radio or listen to your favorite talk shows, a quality antenna is an important consideration. If you’re often in the wilds of the outdoors, you may prefer a shorter antenna so it doesn’t get caught on branches or damaged in dunes.
Keep in mind though that a higher antenna gives you much better reception, and there are a variety of antenna accessories that can support you no matter what your preferences are.
Whether you're off-roading or just driving around town, a quality sound system can make your ride much more enjoyable. Check out our selection of Jeep Wranger audio accessories so you can customize your Jeep exactly the way you want it.
