Wow, thanks for the info! I didn't know you could get a amp that has a DSP built in. Save some space and money! So do you think the 6X9 component for the front would be better than a 6.5" up there? Probably do either a single 8" or 10" sub, again to save space. I've found even with the OEM...

I just got a '23 Ram 1500 and looking to replace the speakers and add an amp. It came with the most basic speaker setup: 6X9 in all four doors, 3.5" in the dash corners. It does have a spot for a center speaker, but nothing in there right now, assuming it won't be necessary? So I'm thinking...

Not going to do an amp, that would not only put it over my budget, but also make it a job I'm not going to be comfortable doing. Same with components. I know it would sound better, but then I have to figure out where the tweeters would go. I just want something that is simple to install and will...

Funny you should mention asking the Jeepers -- I did exactly that. I hit up the most knowledgeable person I know of and got his opinion. He did say a 5 1/4 will fit up front. So as of yet, I'm going to order: Front: JL Audio C1-525x Rear: 5 1/4 Kicker 47KSC504 He had suggested Rockford Fosgate...

Looks like they have the Club series for the front only. They have the concert series for the 5 1/4 for the rear.

Thanks for the suggestion. However, not looking to go over $200 and not going to buy an amp. Replacing the OEM speakers is already a stretch for my ability, so just want bolt in replacements for now.

Got estimates from two shops: One suggested Infinity Kappa 4X6 in the front and lesser Infinity 5.25 in the rear. But they wanted $525. Another one suggested Kicker CS series for $390 for both pairs. Kicker used to have mediocre subs, and don't think they made mids and highs back then...

Looking to upgrade the speakers in my 04 Jeep Wrangler. Stock sizes are 4X6 in the front and 5.25 in the rear. Most likely going to buy from Crutchfield because they send all the adapters and things, and are good with returns. There is a factory sub, not looking to replace it. Looking for...

I have the OEM radio and Bluetooth stops working after 5-10 minutes. My phone works fine in other cars, BT speakers, etc. This radio also works fine with my wife's phone. It doesn't appear to have an AUX input, so I'm wondering if there are other options to leave this radio in place, but bypass...
