I recently picked up a 2012 JK Altitude. Its got the factory premium audio with sub powered by the the 430 nav. I was wondering if anyone has upgraded the speakers while keeping the OEM head unit.

I was pondering upgrading the head unit to a Pioneer NEX, but I like the factory integration. I'm happy with the sound currently, but hey, if I can make it sound better, why not?

Take a look at these two threads:

http://www.wranglerforum.com/f274/speaker-upgrade-infinity-6032si-904409.html

I did both plus filled the sound bar and sub enclosure with polyfill. The total cost less than $150 with a significant improvement in sound quality.

Yes it has been done. Do a search for Mopar Kicker upgrade. The speakers are 77Kick10 and 77Kick25. This option provides a quick plug-and-play upgrade. Of course you can change to any other 6.5" or 2.5" speaker you'd like.

stay away from the kickers and spend that money following AGS's post (there's also a subwoofer upgrade one as well)

I'd throw an amp in-line as well if you don't have one.
