So if I missed it, sorry, but would you say these Kickers are better speakers than what comes in the Alpine system? That's what I have in my '16 Reb and after doing the sub swap with the Pioneer TSW model, I'm betting the door, ceiling and dash speakers aren't that great, either!

Same truck/sound system I have, but you seem to have deeper pockets than me. just add it to the list of eventual upgrades.
Hah! Maybe, maybe not...property taxes in North Texas can be killer! As for the system, it seems the Mopar-branded Kicker upgrade components are pretty competitively priced, plus they're plug-n-play, so that's why I'm thinking of going in that direction. The big question is whether I'll get a nice improvement over the Alpine stuff; if not, then perhaps I should look at Kicker's other models or another brand.

@EagleChief In my opinion these kickers have the sound quality I was looking for. However, the dash speakers are the tricky part in this truck. If a person has a truck without the alpine audio... then the dash should be 8 ohms, but it was really hard for me to find 3.5" 8 ohm speakers. Regardless of brand, if the dash is 4ohm they still going to be too loud and be heard more than everything else installed. installing a component speaker that comes with a crossover would be better rather than purchasing just a dash speaker and door speaker separately.
If I had the second chance I would get the non-mopar, regular kickers that are component speakers and comes with crossovers or the 77kick28ab from mopar. Since the regular non-mopar branded kicker 6x9s dont fit the door because of their depth. I went with mopar kicker to avoid those extra work.
77kick28ab comes with tweeters for the dash not 3.5" fullrange speaker, and the tweeters have built in cross over. I think this is the reason many people actually prefer using the 77kick28ab instead of 77kick42 for the front and dash.
yeah but You can fit multiple subs behind you in a wedge, look into jl stealth boxes also. Wanna say they have one that becomes your center seat. and my stealth in the crew is very impressive considering i have refused 10" woofers for 20 years. that booger will definitely hit the deep hard notes my P2 and P3 combined in the benz do... they are pricey. just make sure if you do invest you are geting a v3 sub and not a v0I did the full kicker speaker upgrade, about 230 total for my reg cab express, huge difference over stock. My brother put the kicker sub plug and play kit in his 18 chevy z71 crewcab, ****** hell that thing hits. Made me a bit jealous,but kicker doesnt make a kit for the regular cab guy.
