Alpine Electronics Now Shipping the Weather-Resistant Soundbar Upgrade Kit for Select Jeep® Applications

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (Dec. 02, 2020) – Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. is now shipping the SPV-65-JLT Weather-Resistant Upgrade Kit for the new 2018 – Up Jeep® Wrangler and 2020 – Up Jeep® Gladiator (without the Alpine OEM Premium Amplified System).

Raise Your Expectations

For five years, Alpine has curated premium solutions that elevate the Jeep® lifestyle. From off-roading to commuting, these solutions are built for discerning audio enthusiasts looking for an uninterrupted music experience that can keep up with their lifestyle.

Now Alpine is “raising the bar” with a Weather-Resistant Soundbar Upgrade Kit for the new 2018 – Up Jeep® Wrangler and 2020 – Up Jeep® Gladiator (without the Alpine OEM Premium Amplified System). This kit includes two 6.5-inch speakers and 1-inch teteron dome tweeters that replaces the factory 3-inch and 4-inch drivers. An installation kit includes a cutting template for the rear soundbar and vehicle-specific connectors for plug-and-play installation.

Top-Off Performance

Jeep® drivers should be able to listen to their music while enjoying the experience of top-and-doors-off driving, however, wind and traffic noise can overpower their music. The SPV-65-JLT is designed to deliver powerful music performance that won’t get lost in the wind.

The weather-resistant kit includes tweeters that capture the higher-end frequencies and improve the range of sound reproduction over the factory 3-inch mid-tweeter. The speakers are enclosed in rugged, premium grills that match the Jeep® interior.

System Compatibility

The SPV-65-JLT is compatible with the new 2018 – Up Jeep® Wrangler and 2020 – Up Jeep® Gladiator (without the Alpine OEM Premium Amplified System) and works with the Jeep® factory head unit, an aftermarket dash system, and the Alpine X409-WRA-JL 9-inch Weather-Resistant Navigation Receiver with Off-Road Mode.

The SPV-65-JLT is now shipping for $449.95 and will be available at Alpine Authorized retailers or online at www.alpine-usa.com through Crutchfield. Installation options can be found on the Alpine-USA website through the store locator.
