The 2012 are the same speakers as you ordered.....they haven't changed, in fact the ones you ordered are the newer, with the AB at the end, as the AA were the First ones, maybe a slight change in cover etc. But that p/n you have are the ones used in the 2012 Challenger...

It's possible they changed the way the Amp is programed in the Challenger to make a Difference, as that Amp has gone thru several Superceded changes....

Agree....But the Infinity is Harman Kardon and a much Higher end, quailty speaker then the Name Alpine. Chrysler ,makes Dumb moves/Decisions like keeping the Name Infinity on their Speakers which the name cheapens the the Reputation of the speakers (that's how the Mind works) and other bad choices to keep like the awful instrument panel light color, GREEN...LOL...worst choice they made and even worse they still force it on the Jeep...that color is proven to strain eyes and make the eyes tired...lOl

Finally got the Kenwood 6990 HD installed yesterday. I also added a 12 inch sub running from the pre outs on it. Its made a world of difference. Using the built in crossover in the HU I took out almost all bass in the front dash speakers and left a bit more in the sound bar speakers. I can crank up the volume now without getting the popping sound in the dash speakers. I have the base turned down on the sub amp to about halfway. Between that and factory sub I'm getting plenty of base and it all sounds great now. The 6990 is def the most advanced HU I've had. Lots of options to learn on it.

I believe my audio upgrade is now done. I installed the Kenwood HU last week. I picked up some 77KICK10's this week. So, I pulled my Mopar Bostons out of the soundbar, put the Kickers in the soundbar and moved the Bostons to the fronts. Overall, I am really happy with the sound balance now.

Here is a pic of my radio mentioned above in my Jeep, the purple on the display is only because of the flash, it normally looks black, the flash also creates a black to gray contrast that really is not that prominent either.
Attachment 420720

Can I ask why you went with the 77KICK10s? Most people only get those when they are keeping the stock HU. I see that you switched that out, so I was curious what made you still go with those...

Since the 77KICK10's are plug and play I went with them and happy I did. With a tweeter built in the Kickers I think it really rounds out the sound with the fronts, something that was missing before.

I did the Boston accoustics upgrade last weekend together with some Dynamat and poly-fill and the difference is night and day. Easily the best upgrade sound wise / dollar I've ever experienced. Thanks Blade for sharing this!

Reading through the whole thread took some time. But just want clarrification on a couple things.

1.) The only difference between the "Kicker" amp from the Nitro and the JK "Infinity" amp is how the internal DSP is setup with regards to the rear/speaker bar speakers?

2.) The Boston Speakers are a direct replacement for the early JK's with the Infinity system?

3.) Your stuffing the baffles completely full of polyfill and getting good results from that?


Sorry to ask for a recap but it was a LOT of information to absorb all at once.

- Skip

They seem pretty cheap and worth it how do they sound

Did this hit a dead end or did anyone try running the Boston sub "bridged?"

Replaced the sound bar speakers this weekend on my '12 JK with Infinity. Went with the Polk dxi650 (on sale at BB for 50 for the pair!). Stuffed the sound bar and subwoofer (still factory infinity) with polyfil and am very happy with the results. Much crisper sound from the polks helped too. But the big difference to me is the subwoofer performance. You can now actually feel some decent punch in the drivers seat. Have Polk components enroute to replace the dash.

If you are questioning the value, I would suggest just trying it. Hook up one new speaker of your choice and compare that speaker to the factory and if you can't hear the difference move on. I would suggest everyone fill soundbar and subwoofer enclosures with polyfil. By far the best 5 dollar audio upgrade I've ever experienced.

Thanks to everyone for their input on this thread. It was a great help. Cheers.

Well, I installed the Bostons yesterday. I say that front drivers side speaker is a mother to get out! Filled them with polyfill batting to eliminate back wave scatter. Was going to dynamat them but the enclosures are rigid enough.

What do I think?

It definatly sounds different from my Infinities. Not sure if it's in a good way or a bad way yet. I need to wait for them to break in a bit before making any final pronoucements. They do seem to be a bit clearer but there's this weird dip in the high end where it's like the sound seems to just drop 12db. Not sure what's causing this yet, but I'll keep looking and tweeking.

I have a 2013 with the Alpine system and the 730n and I just did the Boston install for my 2 fronts. I can tell they are a little clearer but i feel like now there's too much in the 3k range and i lost a little of the warmth and midbass. I will definitely admit that the alpine system sounds muffled compared to the infinity in the '12 and earlier (i've owned both). With the Boston's the muffle is gone but what is now a "clearer" sound is not necessarily a "cleaner" sound. The midrange is more pronounced and vocals more present but the SQ isn't clean, it's a little rough if that makes sense. Im not sure its really an improvement in my particular setup. If i didn't have plans to upgrade to focals i would probably go back to the alpines. Anyway that's just my experience with these, its a cheap experiment and i'd say most beneficial to those with the base system.

Purchased a set of the BA speakers for $25 each thru a friend of mine at the dealer.
The installation of the front speakers including filling the pods with poly fill was about one hour.
There is quite a difference in the quality of the sound coming from the speakers.
Next week I will probably purchase a set of BA for the sound bar which I have already packed with poly fill.
Thanks for the inexpensive upgrade information.

The speakers were on back order and didn't show up until this past week.
After installing the speakers inside the overhead sound bar and packing with poly fill; I allowed several days for break in. There is a pronounced difference in the audio quality. Very pleased with the performance for the $100 investment spent on the 4 speakers.

I was going to do this, but I like my infinity system. If I ever upgrade I'm going aftermarket.

Infinity Is a Harman Kardon Speaker which is a much Higher End Speaker....

Chrysler gets a Better Price because of the High Volume Number compared to BA speakers which are used in 2 or 3 models while the Premium Sound System IS Infinity, until they signed with crappy Alpine...lol

Did you have the Premium Infinity System, with the 368 watt Amp? Are the new speakers a 2ohm speaker? Most don't know but the system is Bi-Amped and that makes a great Difference in how the setup sounds....

Blade, just installed the same mod in my 13 jku sport with base audio.

Great find!

Superb improvement for the money, totally agree with your rationale.

Thanks! :clap:

Thanks :thumbsup:

I just ran all new speaker wires new speakers all around with 8" sony touch screen took all of 4 hours. :p

Replaced the dash and soundbar speakers with BA's, the difference in quality is quite literally night and day.
Added an Infinity Basslink and it sounds SO much better than the Alpine system that I listened to at the dealership.

Just joined because of this thread

Any ideas on a tweeter up grade? There has to be a mopar part number for that too. I'm sure other models use a similar type.

Edit:

Found this number, but may be the same as stock 56043194AA

Im def going to do this to at least the sound bar speakers. I have stock with no sub. crap sounding right now cant stand it. thanks for this post!

Has anyone posted the part numbers for the replacement speakers yet? I've looked but didn't see one

There in the original post

I called a local dealer this morning and he quoted me 51.00 for ONE! then I just found them online for 26.00ea plus 12.00 shipping. I hate dealerships. I also bought the poly fill at walmart..will be a nice simple project once they come in. Thanks Blade!

Where did you find that deal?

heres where I ordered

http://www.partswebsite.com/hendrickmoparparts/

just plug the part number in and away you go.

Crutchfield said that Infinity did not fit???? Infinity is the Name Chrysler has used for years as a system name....Like Delco etc....Put upgraded Infinity is Harman Kardon's Infinity and the reason they offer TONS of 2 ohm speakers is for Aftermarket replacement for Chrysler Products and many many other car Manufactures that use the Harman Brand Head unts ...Audi....Ferrai...on and on...
I hate that they gave you a Bull crap answer. Prob because they aren't needed to sell Harman Products...
Infinity Base and Infinity Upgrade from Chrysler are very Different Quailty...

Wow! What a huge awesome difference with the BA speakers. Nice and clear with some decent bass. Great cheap upgrade. So glad i did this.

Where online did you find the for that price? What's the item number for the speakers? Is it plug and play or do you need to do some splicing ?

All your answers are in the thread..read through it..that's what i did and found all the answers..its plug and play so its easy

Just ordered all 4. $105 shipped to the door

From where?!

the Above part number is the Premium Tweeters used up to 2011 Wranglers and a few other Makes like Liberty, Nitro, Durango and Dokota....around $36 average for Premium Speakers...Base Stock is around $10 each...
