Holly Hill, Fla. – October 29, 2024 – Metra Electronics® is showcasing aftermarket accessories designed to fit select late-model Jeep® Gladiator JT and Wrangler JL vehicles at this year's SEMA Show. Show attendees can view them from November 5th to 8th in Metra's main SEMA Show booth, #10439, in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center and at its off-roading and powersports booth, #24743, in the Central Hall. The manufacturer will display new items, including a soundbar adapter, lower dash speaker grille cut-ins, lower dash speaker pods, and popular products from its existing lineup of audio accessories. These upgrades cover applications for 2018-up* Jeep® vehicles, including 2024 models, making Metra an industry leader for these highly sought-after products.
Soundbar Adapter
The new JP-1019 allows installers to upgrade the soundbar in 2024-up* Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT from the 4" and 3" factory speakers to a 6-inch to 6.75-inch aftermarket speaker by cutting the interior of the factory soundbar. It offers an optional tweeter location and includes adapter plates, speaker harnesses, grille replacements, and all hardware required for installation. This adapter retains your factory dome light in the soundbar location, and the replacement grilles feature a factory-style textured finish with a custom-stamped metal grille for a stylish look.
Lower Dash Speaker Grille Cut-ins
Metra's new JP-1020 left and right lower dash speaker grille cut-ins enhance the appearance of 2024-up* Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT interiors when installing aftermarket speakers. They allow installers to widen the factory 4-inch opening to accommodate an upgrade to 6-inch to 6.75-inch speakers for more vivid sound while adding a bold style. These speaker covers feature a gloss black metal mesh grille with silver accents and perfectly complement the previously released JP-1017 dashboard speaker covers and the new JP-1014 dash speaker pods.
6"- 6.75" Lower Dash Speaker Pods
The new JP-1014 replacement speaker pods are designed to replace the original 4” speaker pods located under the driver and passenger side of the dashboard in the 2018-up* Jeep® Wrangler and 2020-up* Gladiator. Each pair of pods has an ABS housing that utilizes the factory mounting locations for a secure fit that will heighten the listening experience. They are installed using the factory grommet and wiring, and a Metra 12" speaker adapter harness is included.
Dashboard Speaker Grilles
Metra's popular JP-1017 is a set of custom-designed dashboard speaker grilles designed to enhance the interior appearance of select Jeeps® when installing aftermarket speakers. They are designed to fit the 2018-up* Wrangler JL and the 2020-up* Gladiator JT and allow speakers to be upgraded to a larger tweeter or mid-bass speaker for a more vivid sound. These speaker grilles feature a black metal grille with bold silver accents that match this year’s new JP-1020 lower dash speaker cut-ins, ensuring they complement each other perfectly.
Add-A-Sub Interface
Part of its existing product line, Metra's AXSUB-CH8 add-a-sub interface fits amplified and non-amplified 2021-up* Chrysler models, including Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. It is installed at the radio location and features a 2-channel non-fading 5V RMS output, a fixed low pass frequency of 234Hz, and 250mA remote turn-on output. It includes a bass knob & vehicle-specific harness for easy installation and customization.
DSP-X Package with T-Harness
The AXDSPX-CH8 is a DSP-X package with T-harness that fits 2020-up* Chrysler models, including Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. This previously introduced product in Metra's line offers installers a fast, cost-effective solution for improving the sound system with ten individually assigned output channels, the ability to password-protect your settings, and an easy-to-use smartphone app. It has an onboard digital amplifier turn-on capability with built-in technology to retain many of the vehicle's features commonly lost when installing a DSP.
