Yes, those will work, many have used the CS to swap in


Yes, the system includes a DSP amp for the stock speakers so you don't even have to pull the door panels. I am still in absolute LOVE with mine, everyday it impresses me with stock speakers. I have access to about anything too. Now the new 6x9 we will release at CES I may finally swap out this system.:naughty:

The sub could be added to any package, with the complete kit, or just alone.

If you get rid of the amp I might be a taker at the right price!

Someone will certainly correct me if I'm wrong, but, it's my understanding you do not lose the fold flat floor. What you lose is the storage under the small seat behind the driver as that's where the subwoofer goes.

When I installed mine it said the floor had to be removed because it would interfere with the mounting of the sub. Maybe they revised it since then? dcb2489680f5704065400ad4fb0def24.jpg

Any chance they had you remove it to make the installation easier? Then put it back when installation is complete? The sub looks like it's low enough in the cavity that it won't interfere with the load flat floor. Just speculating, I haven't installed one.

Instructions said to remove it. Nothing about reinstall. But I see your point on the distance .

You do remove just the driver side, the passenger side is still useable.

damn, not what i was hoping to here.

Sooooooo, anyway you can get them to make one for the passenger side but make it sit flush so the fold out floor can be used? LOL

Learn something new every day. I was under the impression you didn't lose the load flat floor. Just the storage under the seat. This may be a show-stopper for me. Thank you.

Been following this thread for a while and I'd thought I'd chime in. I've had the 77Kick upgrades for a while in my '16 and while they were a decent upgrade I still felt something was lacking so I added the Soundstage about a month ago. With the 77Kick speakers it sounds fairly good with the only glaring issues being the highs were way too bright and the sub was a lot muddier than I expected from Kicker. I found that with the Highs set to -3 and about 1/3Lb of Poly in the sub box cleaned everything up for me. Given the plug and play nature it's not a bad setup for my daily driver and I'll save doing anything more serious for my 392 Shaker :naughty:

The sub will loosen up and get a lot better with time.
