I searched for the threads to add my question to it, but couldn't seem to find it. Mods, if you want to add this to one of them, please do.
2014 Big Horn w/ OEM Alpine stereo.
I currently have 2 sets of speaker upgrades on my Amazon wish list. The Mopar Kicker upgrades, and the Infinity Reference Series. From what I read, people seem to lean toward the Infinity's, but many have been happy with the Kicker's also. Originally, I was full on Kicker, as they are local to me and I like to support local. but I think I'm starting to sway more toward the Infinity's, just from reading on here, and then looking at the prices, I think I can save a little bit of money (with current Amazon prices - about $50).
I know sound is all relative to each individual person, but what is the consensus between the 2?
Secondly, for those with the Alpine system... when replacing the dash speakers, is it really necessary to replace all 3? Or, would the 2 outside/corner speakers overpower the center dash speaker and make it unnecessary to swap out the center speaker? Looking at these: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01E4JW...olid=3U0Y0WYHTRCZG&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
I think I will start with the dash, then go to the doors. I know I'd like to replace the front doors, as I'm already developing a rattle in the passenger side door whenever the bass hits that speaker. I do not want to add an amp, or get into too much audio stuff. Just wanting to do a direct swap of the speakers on an extremely tight budget.
