Default Sound System

want to change my stock overhead speakers and tweeters, and suggestions on what audio brand I should go with for good sound quality and loudness?

I put Kicker 3 ways in my dash and sound bar. With the Kicker sub they absolutely rock. Way louder than it needs to be even in my soft top.

We have done a small, 4 channel amp on the FACTORY mids and highs in about 30 customers jks over the last few months. I have never heard a system sound that good on factory speakers. It literally sounded like we put a sub somewhere. Even with the top off it still sounds amazing. I went ahead and did a 5 channel Kenwood with a single 12 Kenwood Excelon shallow mount and a custom box in mine. It absolutely hammers! Of course the factory speakers wont last forever but if you are looking for a quick change of sound, I'd just slap an amp on what is already there and roll with it.

Finally!! Someone else with 3 ways! I'm planning on installing Focal 3 ways with the woofer in the dash and the mid and tweeter in the stock tweeter location… how did you mount yours up?

Your post is for just the components and the other is for the same component and matching coaxial speakers. Not sure of price of the coaxial speakers by themselves but I'm guessing they are more than $80 by themselves.

Edit: original post saves $20 without shipping cost included. Not sure if shipping charges on the woofersetc site.

I think wet sounds would be pretty neat, marine grade too may need a little modifying though
