Review on Metra 72-6512: 2-Pin Rectangular Speaker Connector for Chrysler Vehicles – Premium Quality by Seth Gibbons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fits 2001 Jeep Cherokee, didn't work

If you are looking for something to match the 2001 Jeep Cherokee fork style, look no further. However, the OEM end of this connector is not reliable enough to connect a new speaker. With either connector, any movement off-center would break the connection and prevent sound from reaching the speaker. After plugging them in and having a headache trying to get my audio to work, I finally grabbed the connectors and twisted them slightly and I could hear the audio cut out completely every time the connection wasn't perfectly centered was. Obviously, it doesn't need a shaking, vibrating jeep. I might have been able to clip the clips together or glue the connectors, but the possibility of losing the connector didn't appeal to me, so I just cut off the Jeep OEM connector and plugged my speakers directly into the system. Now the sound is clear as day. 2 stars for successful jack connection, -3 stars for audio errors.

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
