JLU Soundbar in JKU

[GONKY2011]

Does anyone know if the JLU soundbar will mount in the JKU soundbar location? I just wnat something that sounds better without breaking the bank on the aftermarket. There are lots of JLU soundbars on FB Marketplace near me.

The JLU soundbar is actually a bit different in design compared to the JKU soundbar. While they might look similar, the mounting points and wiring can vary, which may complicate a direct swap.

I'm not going to say it won't fit because anything can be made to fit, but it's most certainly not going to be a direct bolt-in.

Why not upgrade the speakers in your current soundbar? I did this years ago, replaced the stock speakers with a pair of Rockford Fosgate and couldn't be happier.

Plus one on swapping the speakers.

This was the best thing I did to my JKU sound bar. The rattle and vibration is all gone now. The Alpine and Mille pro combination of speakers is great. The OE dome light housing was shaking as well as the actual bulb in the pincher mounts. Used double stick tape to hold it in. The only issue is the led light itself is not dimmable, so when the light turns off, (dims slowly) the led flashes a little.
