Tweeter adapter plates use the original factory tweeter locations. Vehicle-specific mounting brackets are included to secure the 8” compact subwoofer and the 4-channel amplifier under the passenger seat, without drilling.

Torrance, Calif. (August 28, 2018)– Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. is now shipping the PSS-23WRA, a new aftermarket powered sound system upgrade for the all-new 2018 4-door Jeep Wrangler.

“Jeep Wrangler owners like to accessorize their vehicles, so the PSS-23WRA is the first aftermarket sound system upgrade for those who own the all-new 2018 Jeep Wrangler,” said Mike Anderson, vice president and general manager, brand business unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. “The PSS-23WRA boosts the overall performance of the factory sound system for an increase in bass with refined music characteristics, even with the vehicle’s top off.”

The PSS-23WRA is a powered sound system upgrade for 2018 and future model years 4-door Jeep Wrangler models that do not have the optional factory Alpine premium sound system. The 300-watt system consists of the PWE-S8 powered subwoofer, KTP-445U 4-channel ultra-compact power pack amplifier, SPR-10TW 2” component tweeters and a remote bass knob.

When driving with the Wrangler’s top off, it can be difficult to achieve good bass reproduction due to the noise in the exposed cabin. The PSS-23WRA addresses this by positioning the subwoofer and amplifier under the front passenger’s seat using the included Wrangler-specific bracket. This configuration loads and disperses the lower frequency sound into the passenger’s foot well, producing maximized bass extension throughout the vehicle even when the top is off. Utilizing this location does not take away from usable storage space in the vehicle.

The PWE-S8 and KTP-445U are compact designs, which makes it possible for them to be installed under the passenger’s seat. Unlike traditional subwoofers, the PWE-S8 is a shallow format that measures just 13.5” L x 9” W x 3” D. The PWE-S8 and KTP-445U are pre-assembled for bolt-on installation with simple wire routing. Installation accessories such as tweeter adapters, a wiring harness, and a T-harness for connection to the vehicle are included. The tweeters add high frequency response for clarity and definition and fit in the factory locations on top of the dash, so no custom installation is needed.

Compatibility and Availability

The PSS-23WRA is compatible with the factory Jeep base radio and an Alpine or other aftermarket head unit. It can be purchased nowfor $1,500 SRI at authorized Alpine retailers, visitwww.alpine-usa.comfor a store locator.

Metra is introducing new dashboard speaker grilles, lower dash speaker grille cut-ins, replacement fender clips and rivets, an A-pillar 8 gang switch panel system, 7” LED headlights and 4" LED fog lights with RGB halo, and a turn signal trigger harness. These new accessories are designed for popular Jeep® models and provide customization options that are durable enough to withstand off-roading wear and tear.

Dashboard Speaker Grilles and Lower Dash Speaker Grille Cut-ins

Metra will display two new styles of custom-designed speaker grilles at SEMA, designed to enhance the interior appearance of select Jeeps when installing aftermarket speakers. The JP-1017 is a set of dashboard speaker grilles designed to fit the 2018-Up* Wrangler JL and the 2020-Up* Gladiator JT. The JP-1018 are lower dash speaker grille cut-ins designed to fit the 2018-2023 Wrangler JL and the 2020-2023 Gladiator JT. The JP-1017 allows speakers to be upgraded to a larger tweeter or mid-bass speaker for a more vivid sound while adding a bold style. These speaker grilles feature a black metal mesh grille with silver accents for a rugged and tough off-road look and are designed to complement the new JP-1018 lower dash speaker grille cut-ins perfectly. The JP-1018 allows installers to widen the factory 4-inch opening to accommodate an upgrade to 6.5-inch speakers. They are designed to complement the JP-1017 dashboard speaker covers and Metra's popular JP-1014 dash speaker pods.

Replacement Fender Clips and Rivets

Metra will introduce products at SEMA that help installers reinstall fenders on the 2018-Up* Jeep® Wrangler JL and 2020-Up* Jeep® Gladiator when swapping them out and installing new fender lights more efficiently. The JP-FCLIP replacement fender clips and the JP-FPIN replacement fender rivets are designed to replace OE parts that often break during the removal of the fender. These products are sold in convenient 30-piece packs and will save installers time while providing a secure, factory-quality fit. These products eliminate the hassle of repairing or reusing broken clips and offer a convenient solution to single-use OE rivets that commonly break during fender removal.

A-Pillar 8 Gang Switch Panel System

The JP-APS-JK is an 8 gang switch panel system that features vehicle-specific brackets, making it a custom solution for the 2007-2018 Jeep® Wrangler JK. The included replacement A-pillar cover mounts the water-resistant switch panel vertically, and two types of adapters are provided to fit the panel to Jeep Wrangler JK interiors. This versatile panel can handle all types of 12V DC accessories and allows users to control up to 8 different auxiliary LED lights or electrical devices. An included sheet of 50 decals is designed to fit the vertical orientation of the panel and customize it accordingly, with blue LED backlighting to illuminate the switches. The compact under-hood control box is rated IP68 and easily affixes to OE mounting locations along with the resettable 60-amp circuit breaker using two included vehicle-specific brackets. There are two 30-amp, two 20-amp, two 10-amp, and two 5-amp circuits that can be programmed to latching (on/off) or momentary. T-Spec's V10 fully tinned OFC marine-grade power and ground cables are included to power the controller for maximum reliability.

7” LED Headlights and 4" LED Fog Lights with RGB Halo

Metra will display two new light sets at SEMA designed to fit the 1997-2018 Jeep® Wrangler TJ and JK, which can also fit the 2018-2024 Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT using Metra's JP-JLB7 adapters. The JP-702RGB is a pair of 7-inch LED headlights with RGB halo, and the JP-702RGBFL are 4" LED Fog Lights with RGB halo. Both of these sets come with a Heise Connect RGB controller that allows users to easily control their RGB lighting from the palm of their hand when paired with the Heise Connect free downloadable app for smartphones or tablets. The app lets users choose from 16 million RGB color options with a selectable color wheel and provides seamless control with endless customization options. The headlights each have an output of 3600 lumens for the high beam and 1800 lumens for the low beam. Durable polycarbonate lens covers and die-cast aluminum alloy housing make these light sets ideal for adventurous Jeep® owners, and they work cohesively with all Heise RGB lighting as part of the Heise Connect Universe (HCU).

Turn Signal Trigger Harness

Metra will also display its new turn signal trigger harness, the JP-TSH2, for the 2007-2018 Jeep® Wrangler JK. This harness makes the installation of aftermarket fender lights, alarms, lights, cameras, blind spot sensors, or other equipment that requires left and right light triggers hassle-free. It installs between the factory connector and the wires for aftermarket lighting and eliminates the need to cut or splice a stock harness. Both left and right-side harnesses are included and provide triggers for turn signals and the parking light.
