Ok I believe sonic is an authorized dealer of a lot of brands and so is amazon. eBay even has authorized dealers since the manufacturers themselves are on their and a lot of the big vendors even sale through it. Any listing on sonic and amazon will say refurbed so you can distinguish between. Crutch field is a good place they just have high prices on most stuff. If I can get stuff cheaper somewhere else and save money for other mods or other things in life and still have quality products and warranty.

 

Crutchfield actually has some great deals often well below Amazon or the like. you get unbeatable customer service, detailed master sheets basically holding your hand through install. If that wasn't enough, you'll get install accessories free that are needed for install. You get lifetime product support, I mean the list goes on and on. Purchase elswhere at your own risk. These guys are awesome. price isn't everything and the added value with Crutchfield is unheard of these days.

 

Wait you get free accessories like harnesses and stuff? That I didn't know and might look into.

 

Yes, usually most are included (speaker adapters, wiring harness etc.).

 

Crutchfield is the best route. Warranties, great customer service, free stuff like harnesses, intallation kits, antennae adapters and extensions, master instruction sheets. They also set you up with the right kits and products to keep your uconnect, satellite radio, steering wheel controls and Crutchfield sells these kits for HALF the price if you buy a head unit from them. I just spent $355 on a Jensen flipout touchscreen DVD HU, all the stuff I need to hook it up and 2 6.5" Kicker speakers. Saved about $150 compared to everywhere else.

 

I usually order my stuff from Sonic Electronix, but have used Crutchfield as well. I kind of cheat and fill my shopping basket at Crutchfield and it gives you all the part numbers for adapters, pigtails, etc, that they throw in free. Also, on Crutchfield you can actually look at the user manuals for your gear if you're doing real research on RMS/Ohms/wiring, etc.

One thing though, I THINK crutchfield used to say that 6.5" speakers wouldn't fit and always defaulted to the 5 1/4". Not sure it thats still the case.

To the OP- 6.5" coaxials for the soundbar, 6.5" components for the front (woofer and tweeter set), and 8" Sub. I think I remember that to wire in on stock amp you need a 2 ohm DVC sub. Not sure.

I went with infinity Ref speakers and the Kicker CVR8 Sub.

 

As for replacing the stock speakers look up 77kick10. They are plug and play kickers made for our jeeps.
