It took me several retries but I've found some strategies for it

General Notes:

A speaker will charge up and flash if it is about to send a shockwave. This will clear the lane from plants and zombies.

If you place plants in front of a speaker, the will damage gradually and be defeated soon after.

If you place a Phat Beet in the middle row next to Zomboss' speakers, it will destroy most of the speakers.

Avoid losing Lawn Mowers. Don't waste Power-ups.

Don't plant anymore on lanes that are about to be shockwave'd. Plant again to recover from damage.

Crosshairs appear and Zomboss will drop speakers on that tile.

You are given these plants at your disposal:

Cactus: For long range-attack and a semi-spikeweed for zombies

Phat Beet: surround damage for zombies and speakers

Celery Stalker: quick damage for zombies that are about to escape, or stunned zombies

Stunion: for stunning and allow Celery to damage them

Garlic: divert zombies away from undefended lanes (does not work on non-eating zombies)

'So each jam summons certain zombies. Certain jams need strategies:'

Punk: Plant as you would deal with zombies and use Celery if Cones or Punks put you in a risky situation. Use a Phat Beet to damage the speakers. PlantFood-it to deal multiple damage

Pop: Glitter zombies will spawn. Same strategies as above, only be wary of Glitters insta-rolling your plants. Phat for surround damage, Cactus as spikeweeds, Celeries for emergencies and Sporeshrooms to damage Zomboss if they can.

Rap: Cacti and Sporeshrooms can most likely damage MC's as short ranged ones can be called by its mic-swing. Stay in your toes and use your Phat Beets to destroy the speakers.

8-bit: This one is a bit easier so you can take a breather. Use Celeries to get rid of Arcade Zombies. Use Phat Beets do damage surrounding areas. Take caution as Arcades can crush plants and 8-bit zombies may eat them.

Metal: The moment the speakers reappear again, don't hesitate and Plant Food a Phat Beet close to the speakers to destroy them. You need atleast some rows for Sporeshrooms and Cacti do damage Zomboss. Speakers' shockwave frequencies have noticably increased. Use this to manage Garg priority. Use Phat beets, Celeries and Stunions to deal with Gargs with rows with no speakers. You're fine as long as they are stalled and other plants constantly damage Zomboss.

whew!
