Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Try amazon I got all 4 speaker for 150 vs the 150 for just 1 pair at other websites. These are the same kicker that everyone put in as well took like 30 mins to install all 4.

I just did an install on my friend's 2010 jeep and i used 6.5 kicker all around wired to a 600 watt 4 ch amp wired to his factory radio and he noticed a huge difference right away.He didn't want a sub but i suggest a 5 ch amp if you want a complete setup.

Whatever you decide, make sure your best speakers are in the front of the vehicle. The sound bar speakers are really just kind of filler. If you're on a budget, you may want to consider retaining your head unit and trying an amp and new front components. I dealt with it while I saved enough to do a complete overhaul, but if I wanted to do it in stages, I would have gone amp + front components first.

My set-up...

- Pioneer DVD4400 HU
- Rockford Fosgate Prime speakers all around
- Rockford Fosgate 10" shallow mount sub
- Rockford 250x4 amp

I didn't want to break windows or annoy the neighbors. Just wanted pure, balanced, discreet sound. And I got it.

I took a slightly cheaper but better sounding route. The rear shelf speakers out of a Challenger are Boston Accoustics and make the kickers sound bad. They are only $35 each, use the original 3 tab mounting, and use the same connector. Cheap and effective, and they have incredible clarity and range.
