You can get them from the dealership cheap.

This part number works for front and sound bar speakers?

Yes the same part number for all 4 speakers. The part number is 1 speaker.

Thanks, I plan to look into this

You will definatly be impressed with them. I get compliments on my sound system all the time.

why go back to the dealer for speakers? better to go Polk, IMHO.

If you guys are getting better sound by switching out speakers of the infinity system, then I'll give it a try.

Because these are cheaper, use the factory mounting, use the factory connector, and you will be hard pressed to beat them. I think the only way to make anything sound better than these would be to build an entire amplified system, and that still might not do it. I have these, factory tweeters, and 1 Kicker Comp CVR-12 and I would love to find a Jeep that sounds anywhere near mine for even 3 times as much as I paid. :rock: So until then I can spend the money I saved on much more important things. When it comes down to it, while I'm on the trail I don't even use my Radio.

I'm wondering how these would compare to the Kicker (77KICK10) speaker upgrade. Seems like they would be about the same price. The Kickers are $70/pair and the Boston's run $35 each, or $70/pair. I'm thinking about upgrading my 2012 Infinity speakers, and like the simplicity of either of these. Any thoughts on Boston Acoustics vs the Kickers?
Thanks!

The Boston's have more range and clarity, but the Kickers seem to be a little louder. I paired mine with a 12 inch sub and I have more than enough volume and great clarity and range.

A lot of after market speakers will fit the factory holes and from crutchfield you get the harnesses that plug into the factory plugs. The dealer speakers won't be better for cheaper.
