IMO and personal experience I too wanted the infinity upgrade for my 12 JKU. I was able to take my mopar kicker upgrade speakers out of my 11 2dr sport during the trade.
I said to myself I will get around to adding my rubi shocks, mopar kickers and so fourth. It was funny on the 2nd day of owning my 12 JKU I was so disappointed with the stereo. It sounded like crap. Then I realized I forgot to put my kickers back in.
WOW what a difference night and day. So look at it this way yes it is correct about the amp having separate channels and freq crossover for each speaker but trust my they didn't spend much time trying to get our jeeps to sound like a boston acoustic or bose system.
Look at it this way, you save yourself some money and space from the sub in the rear, go buy 4 kicker mopar speakers and enjoy it.

There are all kinds of electronic crossovers and processors avail. Some head units even have auto eq like your home theater and use a microphone and advanced circuitry to tailor your sound to your seating position. if somone doesn't know how to utilize their equipment and doesnt know how to select the equipment that will meet thier goals, then they probably wont do better than factory. It is very easy to get ok sound, to get breathtaking sound takes some know how and great componetry.

It's essentially the same thing as a graphic EQ, where it applies EQ to multiple speakers at once, but no full control of EQ for each speaker. I'm asking what are these products you speak of that would allow such a thing?

All JK's with the Infinity option come with a sub woofer.

I have the 2010 infinity system with the basic sat radio unit, not the touch screen navi. I tried to get dealer to upgrade, but they are not in too big of a hurry to get back to me. I really want the touch screen unit. Opinions on if I should get stock touch or after market? I actually think the infinity speakers sound great! Haven't been topless yet so time may tell!
