Can you swap the base speakers for the upgraded factory Alpine speakers? and would they make any improvement?

I have it ($830 on Amazon) and installed last weekend. At $1300 I wasn't buying it... but at just over $800 it was worth paying a little extra for the convenience of the setup and install.No no, This was the aftermarket Apine, not the installed 9 speaker from the factory. I've read reviews on different sites, and some on this forum. However, I did see the price drop from $1299 to 899, on the AFTERMARKET alpine (the subwoofer and 2 tweeter install) which might be worth it.
Sounds great! Let me know what you think!Okay Hailey. I just bought these for the front and back (not the entire Alpine set - just super tweeters only). Let's see how they do.
I sent them back already. I got the kickers at the same time and was gonna see which sounded better since they are easy installs.Sounds great! Let me know what you think!
Have a great day,
Hailey
Can you link us to the Kicker(s) you ended up buying? Or tell us the model number?I sent them back already. I got the kickers at the same time and was gonna see which sounded better since they are easy installs.
Kicker 75 watt RMS
Kicker 150 watt maximum
Quadratec 50 watt RMS
Quadratec 100 watt maximum.
Not only the specs, and the actual sound, but the quadratec was like 4x the price!
Did you set the amp knobs to the correct positions as stated in the install guide? If you have those up past the intended level, that could be the cause of the popping, or your ground is loose? I would start searching there.I installed the alpine upgrade and the tweeters in the dash pop at anything over 20 on the volume knob and alll the other speakers are unhappy as well so not worth it now i gotta see what speakers i can add to make it sound ok again
I installed these for the lower dash, they sound great but it was a pita to install,you have to pretty much disassemble the dash. they do make a difference though. I am thinking in installing another pair in the roll bar as wellI am trying to find some good speakers to replace all my speakers in my JLUSS. I am not doing the Alpine upgrade due to its overpricing and from what I've read, it's completely not worth it.
For those of you that's manually upgraded, what did you get and do you like it?
what do u mean clip and strip? I thought there was an adapter from metro or something?I installed some JL audio C2-350s and left the 4 inch speakers from the non-upgraded audio system. Sounds much better but it isn't a plug and play. You need to clip/strip the wires and just use a plier to attach the leads that are included with the speakers which is pretty easy to do.
Plug and play when using the Metra adapter. Correct, no cutting or striping needed. Metra 72-7902 for the 3.5” upper dash and smaller SB speakers.what do u mean clip and strip? I thought there was an adapter from metro or something?
i did the same thing. they come in the mail todayI ordered 4, two in the dash (by the windshield), two for the soundbar. I left the 4" speakers alone.
