Default Kicker Bolt-on Mopar Upgrade

Anybody have this, and can say how much of a difference it makes from stock and stock premium options. Thanks!

I have the Kicker Mopar replacement speakers installed just in the front two--and it's incredible what a difference it made for my sound. There's so little sound coming from the rear speakers, and that's an amp problem not speaker, that I didn't bother with them. I have the base RES unit and the difference is unbelievable. Consider this: How does your system sound? Now, when I turn up the volume in mine I feel it--the brake pedal vibrates, the driver's door mirror vibrates. And it's acceptably clear sound with tons of bass and clear trebles. All of this from simply changing the two front speakers. And, no, I don't have a subwoofer, and I no longer feel that I need one.

Has anyone upgraded from the Infinity speakers to the Kickers? Is it worth the cost?

When the Kicker speakers were first introduced onto the forum someone did. And he was probably the only person to say they made little difference in his sound. All of the rest of us have been pretty wowed.

I would like to know this also, seems most of the people that upgraded to kicker were non-infinity owners. And also, if the kickers are an improvement, i wonder if other, even better than kicker speakers would be an even better improvement. Cause i love JL Audio.

I love the Kickers. I have them in the front and the soundbar. I don't have a sub and am with Mark in the feeling that I don't need one. I have a soft top and these speakers made it so much more fun to drive w/ the top and doors off because I can actually hear the stereo with the sound of the wind and when I drive the one the sound of the ocean crashing into the shore. Really makes my day to jam to some killer tunes on a nice summer day w/ the top down.

Mark, you still have not upgraded your sound bar yet. It's actually not just an amp issue. They really do also make a very noticeable difference in the sound bar. The kicker has a much higher efficency and will produce more range and volume. It's worth the $70 bucks. All of the postive reviews still have not convinced you?
