Just traded my 2011 JGC limited 4x2 for a 2015 limited 4x4. Super happy with the purchase! Downside is that the 2011 had the 9 spk Alpine system w/ sub and the 2015 came with 6 spk. I did not realize I would miss the 9 spk until I started listening to the stock 6 spk, ugh...
I've read a ton in the forum about upgrading the stock system (rageoffury, etc) and think I have a good feel for what to do. To put in context, I'm mostly a talk radio listener but occasionally like to listen to music. No serious thumping, just good decent sound. I'm planning to upgrade the stock system to:
Front: Kicker 40CSS694 / Rear: Kicker 40CS654 (about $250 ttl)
or
Front: Focal ISS 690 / Rear: Focal ISC165 (about $450 ttl)
I'm also considering adding an amp. I realize this will improve the sound drastically but I do want to see what replacing the stock speakers will do first. If I add an amp it will probably be the Alpine MRV-F300. I think this will fit nicely under the drivers seat.
Any thoughts, suggestions, etc?
