HELP! 06 Jimny sound system! was created by OzJim
No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHi guys... I am sorry, i know this has been covered before but I am still very confused. :S

I'm looking at a pretty cheap / mediocre sound system for my 06 Jimny. Nothing to fancy. I need some clarification on buying the right gear as it's the first audio mods i have done to a car... Can you guys advice on whether this stuff is compatible with the 06 Jimny? (the sites are for Aus but you should still be able to view them)

4x 4" speakers: www.jbhifi.com.au/car-sound-gps-navigati...-speakers-sku-91044/ (will these fit the two front side stock speaker slots as well as the two rear slots)

I have also found this, I don't know how to explain it other then will this work instead of paying hundreds for a new fascia: www.aliexpress.com/item/11-357-Car-Radio...scia/1324493949.html :unsure:

IF that works can I then fit this Double din head unit: www.sonicelectronix.com/item_45806_JVC-KW-R500.html

And finally I would be looking at buying this under seat 10" sub + amp:

Thanks very much! Jack. :)

4x 4" speakers OK for front, but for rear go bigger - see here

that Car Radio Fascia should work fine with the JVC double DIN head unit - see here

Great link, ;) wish I'd read something like this but for an earlier motor before I had to rip out my dash cos the radio wouldn't come out.

I upgraded the sound system in my 04 jimny yesterday. There are a few areas to watch out for but nothing major. Depending on if you want to start cutting panels make sure the speaker profile will fit within the depth allowed. Youll notice when disconnecting the front speakers there is a distinct lack of + / - labeling. you can find out Which is which by googling but in short the connect closest to an arrow shaped clip is the +.

However.. to be aware (I am trying to fix today) the panel that goes back over the top is not a snug fit and if anything slightly off centre. This has meant there is a rather noticeable distortion of sound. They will either be off or I may try some felt backing.

Is that the panel in the footwell. Mine have been on and off so often they are more or less flapping about. :laugh: I am tempted to leave them off but it looks a bit too utility like that.
Nice info about the leads +ve and -ve; it all helps.
