The MB Quart JC2-169 is a set of Jeep Wrangler rear speakers designed for 2024-current Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT models: two 6x9 inch coaxials with 1 inch magnesium dome tweeters, an OEM-match replacement grill and plug-in wiring for the factory rear soundbar location. It is the 2024+ counterpart to the JC1-169SB.
It keeps the factory soundbar and uses a powder coated mounting plate, cutout template and OEM adaptor plug, so you get a Jeep Wrangler speaker replacement without splicing into the harness.
These Jeep speakers fill the Jeep JL speakers location in the 2024+ rear soundbar and double as Jeep Gladiator speakers and Jeep Gladiator rear speakers in 2024+ JTs. As a Jeep JL speaker replacement they swap in 6x9 coaxial speakers, which makes them the 2024+ choice for Jeep Wrangler 6x9 speakers and Jeep Wrangler speakers in the soundbar.

FAQ
Will the JC2-169 fit a 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL?
No. MB Quart designed the JC2-169 for 2024-current Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. For 2018-2023 Wrangler JL and 2020-2023 Gladiator JT, use the JC1-169SB.
Are these speakers plug and play?
Yes. MB Quart includes vehicle-specific wiring with an OEM adaptor plug for a no-mistakes, OEM style install.
What is included?
Two 6x9 inch coaxial speakers, an OEM-match replacement grill, a powder coated mounting plate, a cutout template and the OEM adaptor plug, per MB Quart.
What are the power and frequency specs?
MB Quart lists 220W max / 110W RMS, 86dB sensitivity and 45Hz to 23kHz frequency response.
Should I buy these Jeep Gladiator rear speakers or a full soundbar?
These upgrade the factory soundbar's speakers. The MBQJ-48CRGB24+ replaces the whole 2024+ soundbar with four 8 inch coaxials and addressable RGB, and needs an MB Quart amplifier source to run.
Are they part of an MB Quart stage package?
Yes. MB Quart uses the JC2-169 as the rear speakers in its 2024+ Stage 7 Wrangler and Stage 8 Gladiator packages.
Why MB Quart
MB Quart builds vehicle-tuned audio packages for the Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT, engineered around the factory mounting locations and wiring so the upgrade installs with basic hand tools instead of custom fabrication. MB Quart sells its Jeep kits in stages, so you can start with one piece and add matching speakers, subwoofers or a soundbar later.
Complete Your 2024+ Jeep Wrangler Speaker Upgrade
