Product Overview

Description

Full-range neodymium dash pods and the OEM-fit 2024 bar loaded with four 8" marine coaxials, a 1200W four-channel amp, the 2024 T-harness kit and copper wiring.

What's in the package

  • 1 × DS18 JP6NEO.FR — plug-and-play dash speaker pods, left and right, loaded with PRO-FR6NEO 6.5" neodymium full-range drivers, 225W RMS each (dash)
  • 1 × DS18 JL24-SBAR/BK — 2024+ overhead sound bar, black, 4 × 8" speaker slots, OEM-fit with harness included (overhead sound bar)
  • 2 × DS18 NXL-8/BK — 8" HYDRO marine coaxial speakers with RGB LED, pair, 125W RMS each (overhead sound bar)
  • 1 × DS18 JL24-SBAHKIT — 2024+ sound bar and amplifier T-harness kit with VX4HL line-output converter (radio to amplifier)
  • 1 × DS18 FRP-1.2K4 — 4-channel compact full-range Class-D amplifier, 1200W RMS — choose Titanium, Blue or Red (amplifier)
  • 1 × DS18 OFCKIT4 — 4-GA 100% OFC copper amplifier installation kit (wiring)

Fitment

2024–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU and Gladiator JT (Uconnect 5 radio): the dash pods replace the factory dash speaker enclosures; the 2024-specific sound bar bolts into the factory overhead location using the OEM mounting points; the JL24-SBAHKIT T-harness and line-output converter connect the amplifier to the 2024 radio. Sound-bar speaker pairs are wired in parallel per side (2-ohm load per bar channel).

The 2024+ radio has no amplifier outputs of its own — the included JL24-SBAHKIT T-harness connects at the radio and its VX4HL module feeds the amplifier.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

RMS vs. MAX power — which number do I actually care about?

RMS is what your gear handles continuously; MAX is the short burst it can survive without complaint. Match your amplifier's RMS output to your speakers' RMS rating — sizing off the MAX number is how magic smoke gets released.

What does the IP65 rating on DS18 marine gear actually mean?

It's dust-tight and rated against low-pressure water jets from any direction — built for spray, rain, and the occasional wave over the bow, not for full submersion. If something's going somewhere it could sit underwater, that's a different conversation entirely.

How do I match an amplifier to my speakers without guessing?

Add up the RMS rating of everything the amp will power, and pick an amp whose RMS output (at your speakers' impedance — usually 4-ohm) lands close to that total. Undersized is thin sound; wildly oversized is a fast way to blow a voice coil.

Can I mix marine-grade gear into a standard car audio setup, or the reverse?

You can run marine-grade gear in a car — it's just over-built for that environment, no downside besides cost. Running non-weatherproof car audio gear in an open UTV or boat is the direction that causes problems.

What gauge wiring kit do I need?

It scales with your amp's power draw and the length of the run — DS18's OFC kits come in 4-gauge and 8-gauge for a reason. Undersized wiring on a high-draw system is a voltage-drop and heat problem waiting to happen; when in doubt, size up.
