To get bass on both the left and right sides when using a subwoofer and amp with the factory radio in a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you should tap into the rear door speakers. These typically carry full-range audio signals, including bass, from both the left and right channels.

Questions and answers
im hooking up my subwoofer and amp to my 2018 jeep grand cherokee and keeping the factory radio. it is hooked up and working but when i unplug the rca cables for the right side of the car all the bass cuts out. what door speakers do i need to tap into for the bass to work on both left and right sides.
To get bass on both the left and right sides when using a subwoofer and amp with the factory radio in a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you should tap into the rear door speakers. These typically carry full-range audio signals, including bass, from both the left and right channels.
