2021 Ram 1500 Alpine 9 speaker upgrade?

[brocker1234567]

I have a 2021 crew cab w an Alpine 9 speaker system and the 12” display.
I’ve read posts here on replacing the front corner speakers w the infinity speakers as well as just the back door speakers w infinity’s. Crutchfield states there will be a volume loss doing this. Has anyone tried this on the system I’m referencing?? Is the loss substantial?? At this time I’m notttt looking at installing Amps I’m to dang old!!! I just want clearer music!!!
Any advice one upgrading this system would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Will ANC be a factor or problem ??
TIA for your input!!

The volume loss is because the speakers are rated for a higher resistance, so it takes more power to make the same amount of volume. At least on paper that should be the case. Everything I've read has said that it's not a problem in actual use though and it's a big difference over the stock "Alpine" speakers.

Someone please feel free to chime in if I'm wrong though. I'm looking to do the same and I'm still learning.

Factory Alpine speakers are 2-ohms while those Infinity are 4-ohm. So, the amp will output will be about 1/2 the power with a 4-ohm load. As a result, your overall system volume will be lower but will sound better. For example, let's say the factory dash speakers get 30w rms @2ohms from the factory amp, @4ohms, that amp will put out 15 to 18w rms.
