speaker upgrade
What do you guys think are the best speaker upgrades for a stock stereo? I will be keeping the stock head unit for now, upgrading in the future. I have an '08 JKU with sub. Thanks in advance!!

i've been looking into the same thing. I want to keep my stock head for now and upgrade some speakers. I was going to just go and buy the kicker replacements for it, which are pretty well priced, but then i saw a dude in the forum post these, mopar part #5081670ab, 6.5" boston acoustic speakers. Theyre used in the challenger, rear shelf speakers, and apparently they have the same mounting tabs as the speakers in the wrangler. The boston acoustic speakers are whats installed in the challenger as the premium package. They're under 40 bucks too. I'm looking at giving these a try.

They fit perfectly, they come with a mounting bracket that fit perfectly up front, and in the sound bar.

i've been really happy with the kicker speakers i have in my 2012jk, alpine and polk also make great speakers
i have the components up front and the coaxial in the soundbar and it sounds great with the factory head unit and no amplifiers

I threw a set of Polk Audio Components in the front and a set of Polk Audio 2 ways in the rear. Not only do they sound good, but they are marine rated as well.

In the sound bar i put in Polk db651s and up front I put Polk DB6501. Ordered the db651s from crutchfield as they came with the necessary speaker adapters and mounted woofers on the db6501 right to the speaker boxes. Tweeters took a bit of customizing on the stock tombstones, but fit like a glove and sound great. Since they didn't take any special mounting brackets, i was able to find a good deal on the DB6501 on ebay.
