So. As you have seen here in the forum there is alot of speaker uppgrading and swaping to improve the sound of our Renegades. Me personaly I have a Renegaded Limited 2015 with Beats by Dre sound. I have orderd replacement drivers to all 9 speaker positions. 2x JBL GTO front dash, 2x JBL GTO938 front door, 2x Magnat Carfit T15 tweeter and 2x JBL GTO938 rear door. And for the subwoofer place I have orderd a Kicker 672 subwoofer.
I need help with what speaker adapter to use where,
I was thinking maby we should make a list of what connectors to use. Please coment with what u know so we can make this thread complete and a sticky

9-Speaker System:

3,5 Front Dash: Unknown
6x9 Doors: Metra 71-050s
Backdoor Tweeter: Metra 71-039c



4-Speaker System:

????????

6-Speaker System:[/U] My Trailhawk has the 6 speaker system and Really cheap crap speakers, I can tell you!

[/B]3,5 Front Dash: Alpha- Romeo 51943829, 3.5 inch two way
6x9 Doors: Mopar model #51977807, 6x9 two way

 

The 3.5" speakers in the front use Metra 71-039C Speaker Wiring Adapters

 

Yea, I did wrong, 71-039c is ofc 3,5. I don't know the tweeter in the back door.

I have a 3,5 orginal speaker in my hand and a original tweeter and they don't share the same connection.

But I can't edit my post now. Dunno why.

 

Sorry, I see now you are asking for the model of the speaker connectors, not speaker models. Sorry, bad reading comprehension on my part.

 

if you take the speakers out and have a look at the connectors take some photos , then look at Alfa , fiat ,Chrysler fit adaptors thats how i found the one s for mine , im in the UK so the codes probably wont match anything state side .
i found this the quickest and simplest way to find what i wanted , hope thats of some help

 

I'm also in the UK...what alternative adaptor did you find for the dash speakers??

 

400667205953 this is the eBay number of the ones I purchased today. Will be here tomorrow so can update then. Also ordered the kicker 3.5inch speakers. Again should be here tomorrow or Thursday. If I've got it wrong on the connectors I will let you know. I pulled the speakers out before ordering to check.

am keen to hear if they fit. ex work colleagues in the US who were meant to be sending me a set of metra 71-039c's have sent 72-6514's instead (fit the door speakers)...so I'm still sitting here 4 weeks on with Kicker dash speakers but no wiring adaptors.

 

161374869384 this is the link for the kickers on eBay

 

A little off topic but this is the blow off valve I got for the 1.4 turbo engine 161596643362 again am eBay number.

 

So I got the connectors today and bugger me i got the wrong ones. Look the same but we're smaller, How ever I have found some others. That look similar. This is the connector in the car. If all else fails I'm going to maplins and will make some. if I do I will let you know.

 

172193355938. This is the set I've ordered tonight so fingers crossed I've not got this wrong. But for the sake of a few quid it's worth trying to help every one in the UK find the connectors.

 

Did the connectors arrive and did they fit???

 

I've got a nephew in Washington who has agreed to (hopefully) buy the correct ones and post them over...but if adaptors that fit are available in the UK that'll be a big help to everyone wanting to upgrade their dash speakers.

 

i should have the speakers and connectors by Friday this week , im hoping this set of cables solves the issues so we dont have to order overseas as its a pain and can cost a load in import taxes
im making a trip to maplins over the weekend any way so may end up making some sets , if they work out i will add a link for nay one buy them at cost of bits or supply the part numbers so you can make your own

 

the import taxes aren't an issue..I got sets of Metra 72-6514's from China and the US for the door speakers and there is no tax, but postage from the US is quite high. Main issue for dash speakers is that the adaptors that fit are metra 71-039c and the only place in the world that I have found so far to sell them is Crutchfield in the US and they don't ship abroad.

 

i was having a think that it might be worth changing the plug end totally , for a more standard one with the same size pins for an easy swap . lets face it ,unless i buy another Renegade i wont need the speakers again after im done with the car . and the ones in the dash dont even weigh enough to use as paper weights .

 

NOOOOOO!

Seriously don't. If you want to commit because the stockers suck, take the connectors off that end and make something out of them. We have at least one forum member who has successfully done that.

 

thats true...my nuclear option is to cut the integral plug plus terminals off the premium speakers and solder them onto the new speaker terminals. But I'm prepared to wait a couple of weeks more before doing so.

 

That is always an option. I won't ever bodge an installation as it's not worth it. I love me music and have to say the speakers in this are pretty poor. If I had my way it would be naim audio. But it's not a Bentley lol

 

So my speakers arrived. No cables yet. So I fitted some spade terminals so I could at least use the speakers. Here they are. They sound pretty good. But know show the flaws in the door speakers

 

Here they are

 

when you get round to doing the door speakers, the wiring adaptors are Metra 71-050..only available in the US at crutchfield as far as I can tell, but Metra 72- 6514's are the same connector but with the polarity round the other way.....easy to switch the wires round and you can get 72-6514's on e-bay either form the US (expensive postage) or from China for £6.20 inc postage. Have said that some folks have used 6514's as they are and haven't reported any reverse polarity sound issues. I've got Kicker 41KSC354's waiting to go in the dash...had to get them from the US but the model variant you have fitted seem to be easy to get hold of in the UK.

 

Cheers redx will keep this in mind for when have time to change them over.

 

ebuy number.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!whats that :/

 

Since 71-050s can't be ordered in Europe, we now clearly know from users here that 72-6514 is the same connector with reverse polarity.

We can't get a hold of 71-039c in Europe also, does anyone know if there is a reverse polarity sibling to it that we in Europe can order?

I haven't found one and have spent many hours searching. I found what had a picture of a 71-039c being sold on amazon.com under the code 72-7901 and ordered it (from the US) but the connector that arrived was not 71-039c so the picture they have posted is wrong...so beware.

only hope is if the second lot of connectors Martin Luck ordered on e-bay in the UK fit..if they do we have a low cost solution. Fingers crossed.

 

eBay ...sorry

 

According to my crutchfield order, the adapters they included with my 3.5" dash speakers on my 9 speaker system were metra 71-039c

 

As of yet not seen them. Good old royal mail. I've had the speakers in for a week now and love the change in the sound. But really need to do the door speakers as they now sound weak.
Soon as they arrive I will let you know

 

Who offers in lowest price.......do anyone knoe that!!!!!!
I need to know. thanks
