thanks to the OP for posting this thread.
i've got the premium system with the sub and RER. i'm not really a fan of the kicker speaks. i'm very curious why they are the only noted replacement speakers in any jk forums. 6.5 rounds are quite common size. so, why aren't CDT, Morel, Rainbow, Focal, Diamond or anything else mentioned as replacement speakers?

What are your impressions of doing just the soundbar? I did the front ones first and it made a big enough difference that I have not gotten around to doing the soundbar yet. Did you see a big difference or not?

Seems like it was about 45 minutes to an hour. I just took my time to make sure I didn't miss/break anything. One tip I will give you is to take the top screw out first and put it in last. It is by far the biggest pain to get to and if you do it this way it makes it a little bit easier to deal with as you don't have the added weight of the speaker making it bind up a little bit.

I think youd have to try to break them, as long as your careful I dont see them Breaking. Also I think the difficulty of installing the front is over rated. Not saying its not a pain in the ass but it can all be done in less than an hour front and back

If it's particularly cold, you might want to wait for the weather to warm up a bit--at least into the 50s. Some of the plastic in the Jeep gets pretty fragile when cold--I've broken a couple things (but not during a speaker install).
