First time poster, go easy on me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Got a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (JKU) which came with what I can only describe as a disaster of stock "premium" stereo.

Replaced the headunit with a Joying (Android Head Unit, yeah I know but I want the apps im a bit of a tech junky) but need to run a new amp to make it work as the stock amp is total garbage and wont turn on without a PAC module anyways.

Just for now keeping the stock speakers as my wife isnt happy with all the money spend on the HU and AMP.

Thinking about the GM-D9605(5 Channel amp). However the stock speaker wires are 8 unique speakers channels and are as follows:

  • Front Left Speaker + / -
  • Front Right Speaker + / -
  • Rear Left Speaker + / -
  • Rear Right Speaker + / -
  • Tweeter Left Channel + / -
  • Tweeter Right Channel + / -
  • Sub Coil 1 + / -
  • Sub Coil 2 + / -


Note: Only one Sub but two coil I guess... Oh and all speakers are apparently 2Ohm

What would be the best way to wire this. I do want to retain the ability to fade front to back as when the soft top is down I may have to push more sound to the back to hear it well.

My thought is the 4 channels used conventionally FL,FR,RL,RR and the 5th for the sub. However this is where I dont know what to do with the tweeter channels. Do I tie them into the front channels (1 and 2) and if so how would I go about physically wiring that? I am assuming I would need a crossover to strip out all but the highs? Is there some sort of 4 channel LOC/Crossover that I can send the amplified front two channels to that would break out into 4 channels:

  • Front Left
  • Front Right
  • Front Left Tweeter (High's only)
  • Front Right Tweeter (High's only)


Also I dont know what the correct way to wire the sub would be to tie both coils to one output channel (the Joying only has a single sub channel out)

BTW I haven't messed with Car audio since I was a teen dumping in two 12's in the back of my fox body mustang in the early 90's so I know very little of anymore.

Any help would be really appreciated! Also willing to listen to recommendations for another amp as long as its only a few hundred. Not looking to get the sound of 2x12's, I would be happy with slightly better sound then stock and to hear the low tones of bass but shaking the rearview isn't required.

Yes. Only thing is the leads will be encased in resin. Keep in mind that this is an assumption.
