Both versions share the same speakers, enclosures and amplifiers. If you plan to replace the factory radio, choose the MBQJ-STG4AH-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Jeep Wrangler speaker upgrade at the heart of MB Quart's Jeep audio line: the Jeep Wrangler speakers and Jeep Gladiator speakers up front, plus the amplification to drive them. It replaces the factory Jeep JL speakers up front, serves as a Jeep JL speaker upgrade or a Jeep Gladiator speaker upgrade, and its 3.5 inch units replace the Jeep Wrangler dash speakers. With two 400 watt amps it works as a Jeep Wrangler amplifier built into the kit, and it is the base for a full Jeep Wrangler sound system once you add rear Jeep speakers and a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 3.5 inch coaxial dash speakers with 0.75 inch dome tweeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 6.5 inch midbass drivers with lightweight pop paper cones in a mica blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposite front speaker enclosures that drop in as a direct replacement for the factory enclosures, with an integrated OEM module mounting location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 400 watt full range, two channel Class D amplifiers (compact NA2 amplifiers with on-board equalization) on a powder coated mounting plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAMPRO plug and play interface so the system runs from the factory source unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle-specific wiring for a plug and play, OEM style installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt To Solve: Weak Factory Front Speakers in the Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT (Factory Radio)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront speakers that run out of clean volume with the top and doors off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory amplification that cannot drive upgraded speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWanting more output without losing the factory radio and screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoiding custom front speaker mounts and spliced wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest For: Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT Owners Keeping the Factory Radio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who want a Jeep Wrangler audio upgrade without replacing the factory source unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners planning a staged build: add a rear speaker kit or soundbar, then a subwoofer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot the right version if you are replacing the radio; see the MBQJ-STG4AH-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront speakers: two 3.5 inch coaxial with 0.75 inch dome tweeters (MB Quart's page lists the dash tweeter as titanium in the feature list and magnesium in the kit list) and two 6.5 inch midbass drivers, pop paper cones with mica blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront speaker specs: crossover 12dB midrange \/ 6dB tweeter, frequency response 75Hz to 23kHz, sensitivity 89dB, 300W max \/ 150W RMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosures: composite, integrated OEM module mounting location, drop-in replacement for factory enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifiers: two 400 watt full range, two channel Class D (compact NA2 with on-board equalization); powder coated mounting plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal system power: 800 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSource unit: uses OEM source unit via AAMPRO plug and play interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear speakers: not included; requires a rear speaker kit or soundbar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed weight: 26.0 lbs; listed dimensions: 22.24 x 18.34 x 10.59 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall: basic hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black; warranty: 1 year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMOPAR Part Number: 68729812AA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer Part Number: MBQJ-STG4A-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB Quart lists this product for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeep® Wrangler (JL) 2018-Current with OEM radio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeep® Gladiator (JT) 2020-Current with OEM radio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB Quart publishes a 2024 Wrangler JL \/ Gladiator JT amp plate technical service bulletin for this system; follow it on 2024-current models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB Quart also publishes a separate 2024 Wrangler JL \/ Gladiator JT install guide for the MBQJ-STG4A-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Jeep (on-road vehicle) audio product, not a UTV part.
