Disclaimer- I am not a real car audio whiz. My hearing is awful, and my basic setting is LOUD.
My 04 sub was shot, it popped and rattled. A friend with a killer TJR (who is not on here) encouraged me to buy this - he is a fairly adept stereo guy.
The speaker came in 2 days, is a perfect fit and sounds great.
It is a direct replacement, no wires need cut and it gives you the chance to deep clean that console you been putting off.
I would rate it a 10 for fit and connection, and it sounds as good as I would hope any stock subwoofer would sound of that era.
The job takes about 30 minutes.
Note - It does not have a cover screen. It might be a good idea to add one to keep change and crumbs, etc out of the speaker.
