Stock tweeter replacements that are easy to install?
 
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't find too much info on it. I'm looking to replace the stock tweeters with ones I don't have to install any crossovers or amps to use - I just want to pop up the stock ones, unplug them, plug in the replacements, and pop them back into the dash. I have a 2012 JKU Sport with stock audio. I'm also trying to spend ~$30.

Also, will these even make a difference over the stock tweeters?

I have the ones from quadratec. They are exactly what you are looking for. Super easy install and noticable difference in sound quality. They probably weigh 10X more than the stockers.

I saw those but I don't want to spend $120 on tweeters. I'm trying to replace the stock speakers on a budget so trying to keep it ~$30. Been picking up returned Mopar 77KICK10's for cheap to replace the front and sound bar speakers.

Do you have the base stereo, Infinity, or Alpine?

Are you against soldering?

How do you even get the old ones out? Do have to tear into the dash?

There is a tweeter mod that takes less than a half hour and costs peanuts that is providing some nice results!
Removing the tweeter (if you have the tombstones) is as simple as a slight pry with a flat head.

Yes. They are pressure fitted and pull right out. Changing the capacitor on anything but the base stereo offers a great performance boost.

I have the base stereo and don't know how to solder so was just looking for a plug n play pair of tweeters.

Gotcha. Every tweeter upgrade I have read about requires trimming the hole in the tombstone with either a dremel or a razor knife. So I don't think you will find ones that are exact fit. But sorry, I still have stockers so can't help with a recommendation.

Thanks that helps thanks it looks like I'll search around for the quadratec ones for cheap.
