2023 Willys 4XE
Need help. I have a 2023 Willy's 4xe with the 8.4'' Radio and the Alpine system. I am wanting to upgrade dash, sound bar and knee panel speakers. What all will be needed to power these speakers? Will the factory Alpine amp be enough? I also plan to remove the Alpine 10'' sub and add 2-12's. From what I've read I will need a Pac AP4, to be able to connect to an amp for the subs. I plan to use either concrete audio or ds18 speakers, and kicker subs. Any thoughts, tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Pics are helpful also. Thanks

I swapped out my upper dash and soundbar speakers. I have them all running off the factory wiring. No issues.

What speakers did you swap them to?
Infinity's. Per the above post, I did a bunch of research on what I wanted and how I was going to install it. Went with JLJT pods for the soundsbar.
