I have the standard head unit, Cd with Sirius. The infinity speakers are paper, while the Kickers are Poly. Big difference in sound and I thought it would not make much difference as I was very happy with the stock sound system. Everything is just more crisp and has more depth to it.

What makes these $130 speakers better than the same ones I can get on another website for $40 a pair like on Cartronix?

Hear the difference! Replace those tired overhead sound bar speakers with our Kicker brand factory replacements. These exclusive kits are pre-wired with factory connectors and custom speaker mounting plates. There's no required cutting, drilling or splicing and installation takes only minutes with a single screwdriver. Kits include two 6-1/2" Kicker DS speakers with weather resistant polypropylene woofers, polyfoam surrounds, 1/2" balanced domed tweeters and detailed installation instructions.

Is this an upgrade from stock or an upgrade from the infinity system also?

I bought these to replace my Infinity, they do sound cleaner than the Infinity. They also deliver a fuller sound.

This speaker kit comes with a laser cut adapter ring used to mount the speakers to the stock sound bar and also allow you to use the stock grill if you wish.

Default this was weird today

I just recieved a mailer from my dealer promoting q custom designed audio system from Kicker:

"These exclusive Mopar/Kicker products can't be ordered from anyone else, including Kicker." is what it says.

No prices listed but they shwow a cubby sub similiar to the infinity one, a box with 2 square subs in it.. and a couple 6x9's all floating graphics, next to an unlimited jk.. but no installed pics...

A 768watt upgrade package is mentioned as well.
