anyone who has installed these speakers in a jeep, do you need the metra wiring harness ??

I installed mine with a Pioneer aftermarket receiver. The receiver will require an adapter harness to plug into the Jeep factory wiring harness.

My 2001 TJ Jeep Wrangler needed the Metra wiring harness (sold separately); however, these speakers don't mount in the pre existing factory brackets. Now I have to figure out a way to install them.

You can do what I did and cut the adapters off and tie the connectors that come with the speakers to your existing wires after cutting the adapter off. Or u can buy the speaker wire harness that will hook in to your stock speaker adapters. And just food for thought look into speaker adapters for your make and model of your vehicle.

I would check with. Crutchfield they are a great resource for looking up this information, best guess for which harness you need would be Metra 71-039C. Crutchfield is listing this as the harness you need with the alpine system. Now this was based on the limited information I had on your vehicle. Good luck.

You will need to cut your harness and apply female connectors to plug into the male ends on the speakers. I would contact RF and see if they sell plug n play harnesses

No, you will need to provide the speaker wire. I bought 16 ga Monster Cable because I was separating the speakers by quite a distance and wanted the best conductors I could get. Also, you will have to provide the wire from the subwoofer to your receiver. The speakers really sound great.

I don't have Sync in mine so I can't answer that. I installed a JVC DDIN deck. There is a separate harness that you will need that plugs right into your existing stock harness that is supposed to retain steering controls. It also makes matching up the wires much easier. The Metra unit works flawlessly and would definitely recommend it if you're going to replace the stock stereo. Metra also has the adapter to install aftermarket speakers that allow them to plug right into the harness. You will also need an install kit which has the panel tool in it so you can pry the console and dash units to release the clips, unless you want to scratch the hell out of the car.

Buy after market connectors and attach to your radio harness then attach the matching one to your speakers

Many vendors have plug adapters for speakers. I did not use them. I bought a wire adapter at Home Depot which crimped on the wire. I simply wired the new speakers directly using the following color code. I have a 2003 F150 King Ranch. It was easy. You will like the Pioneer speakers. Good Luck. http://www.autotoys.com/New_Tech/Wire_codes/Ford_Wire_Colors/ford_wire_colors.htm

These speakers come with the appropiate wiring. The wire is directly connected to the speaker on one end, and have a speaker insert jack on the other...

They should be purchased separately. Normally you would be installing these in an aftermarket upgrade and use your new wiring. Most amplifier upgrade kits come with connectors, or you can get them at any hardware/electronics shop or here for just a couple bucks. The reason they don't come is that they would have to match the wire gauge you were using in the system. You would want to get both narrow and wide female spade connectors, or solder the wire to the speakers leads directly. If you are going to connect them to the stock wiring and need adapters, There is a company called Metra that makes wiring harness adapters that work well. I have done both with good results. Also, make sure you use the included capacitors on the + lead or buy "Bass Blockers" to prevent low frequency signal from damaging your speakers. These can't take low base and you will ruin them if you do not have some means of cutting off frequencies below about 100-200 Hz or higher. If you are using an aftermarket amplifier, it would normally have a High Pass filter setting that allows this, and you would then not need the capacitors. Your OEM amplifier, if there is one in your system, may also have this capability, but it is not always easy to find out it if does or not. It is NOT likely that a system that is has radio/CD player without an extra amplifier has this but a little research might be worth it.

no you need to buy another harness made by mettra specifically for steering wheel controls. I didnt bother putting it in so mine dont work and i dont miss them too much. If I really want I can always buy the mettra steering wheel harness for an extra 50 bucks and put it in. The good thing about this harness over the regular one is that you get to use your stock amp somehow so the bass quality is retained.

I'm not sure about the Jeep speakers but they made a HUGE difference over the factory GM speakers in my Yukon.

They did not come with wiring harness. They fit perfectly however, without gaps.

You will get the necessary wires to make the connection, what will happen is the lights will be flickering unless you buy a more expensive anti-flicker harness which is manufactured by Speaker. The lights look amazing!!

Great choice of speakers. I d say as long as the oem speakers are same size. Then yes. Go for it! !I'd pull one out n approximately measure old one. Then go from there. One thing to make job easier I'd spend the extra n buy the aftermarket to Oem speakers adapter harnesses. Not that expensive n will be able to leave existing wires uncut. Which is huge plus for later down the road n ya wanna sell vehicle ya can put the old junkers back in.. With out splicing!!Goodluck. Jam on!!Hope this post helps.

I have not. I installed mine on a 2007 Honda Accord, it's possible the factory wiring scheme is the same. In my case the installation was seamless, the product worked exactly as I expected it would. I can tell you that I have been using Metra Kit's for 40 years, there solid, well designed product.

My speakers are plugged into the original radio/cd player of my car. I am sure your installer can answer more specific amp and aftermarket equipment questions before any purchases or any work is done. In either case, I am very satisfied with the speakers!
