I got a 2015 Cherokee kL lat w the premium speakers (no sub) and 8.4 Uconnect so I got a alpine pwe-s8 to give it a little kick.

my question is is there a company that makes a T-harness to wire into factory 8.4 harness so I don’t have to use a crappy cheap line converter. The alpine amp has a spot for this. And I can use a lc-1 for gain control levels.

I swear I found a company that does this a month ago for about $90 and now I can’t find their website.

here’s a pic to clarify what I’m trying to do

Check with Crutchfield. If they don't know about it, it doesn't exist. They take phone calls.

 

Kicker typically makes an amp/sub combo that ties into the factory radio (a lot of other manufacturers do as well), but I don't believe anything is made for the KL Cherokees. You'll likely need a Line Output converter that allows you to add additional amps and subs to the factory radio, and tie into the factory speaker wiring behind the radio. I'm not sure if Jeep equips the older (2014-18) KL Cherokees with noise cancellation, but if they do, you'll also have to disable the factory noise cancelling microphone(s) when you install the aftermarket sub and amp.

Also, unless you have the factory sub, you just have the standard six-speaker NON-premium system without an amp. There wasn't any other option other than the 506-watt, 9-speaker Alpine system for "premium" sound (the standard system just uses the factory radio for amplification).
