[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8281003, member: 628688"] On a new vehicle like yours it's my opinion you would be better served with a JBL MS-8 equalizer with a built in 8-channel amplifier. This would connect to the factory HU if there is no amplifier, or if there is an amplifier it will connect to that on the speaker outputs. With MS-8 you will perform some quick measurements with the included microphones to get an Un-EQ'd and flattened signal to then retune to your liking. Most stock sound systems are not actually plagued by terrible speakers, it's the tuning provided by the factory that is a bigger issue. They have their compromises to make and just like with car audio shops, a good tuner is uncommon. $500 for 2 sets of speakers and an amplifier is do-able, but I think it will lead to disappointment because of your lack of tuning controls.
