Speakers for 2012 JKU
 
Looking to replace the (non-infinity) speakers in my 2012 JKU. I'd like to same brand/series in the front and in the top bar.

All I've been able to come up with are these. They look alright, but maybe wanted to get something a little nicer.

I haven't been keeping up with what Jeep is doing with the base OEM sound system. But in 2007 it sucked horribly. I bought a pair of these for the front and they made a big difference. Like what one would expect for a base OEM sound system. I eventually added a pair for the sound bar, but they made no real difference. Pretty much a waste of money. These are designed specifically to fit a Jeep JK--screw holes line up, plugs match, etc ...

Factory speakers really aren't terrible. I added amp/sub and have a crossover on the mains at 120hz so they aren't working now. They're good, but not great. I guess there's only one way to find out. :/ It will probably be hard/impossible to find a matching set since the roll bar speakers are thin.

Alpine Type R....can't go wrong just give them enough power.

I have a 2012 and I just did the boston acoustics upgrade cost about $ 115 bucks and they sound great :rock: this is probably one of the cheapest ways of getting good sound without buying a new head unit / amp / speakers . B4 I did this I had to turn my bass way up now its -3 and the mid and trebb had to go up it thumps pretty good now :rock::rock:
