IMOH - No. You can order any 6x9 (at whatever cost) and a mount/bracket kit from Crutchfield for $99. For the price of the Alpine kit you can get some pretty nice speakers for less depending on what you are after. The cutting of a larger opening isn't hard (I used a Dremel) and is unchanged regardless of which way you go.

I bought the brackets from Crutchfield and some Focals - they have made a big difference and the cost was about $100 less than what they want to sell the Alpine kit for. Plenty of great speaker choices and Crutchfield give the speaker wiring kit to you for free. Great support if you need help along the way.

Thank you

So these are not worth it

No, do the math with all in for Alpine kit costing $449 - after the mounting brackets for $99 via Crutchfiled that leaves you $350 for speakers. My Focals were $269, Alpine reference are only $249. Marine grade not required unless you plan on getting them wet. There are a number of really good alternatives to those two at less depending on your preference - JBL, Kicker, JL Audio, Pioneer, etc.

Yup I am doing the brackets and JL audio components

I’m just trying to make it easy on my self what’s easier

 

[Snazcat]

I don’t want to do any cutting

 

[Timdog]

Check crutchfield, cheaper & better options..,there is threads on speaker upgrades I believe

Your gonna cut with alpine also. The Kenwood full range three and a half sound really good if you have a sube and require no cutting

 

[Snazcat]

Ahhh heck with it then I just will stick with stock thanks

The OEM, "Alpine Speaker Upgrade," uses the SAME EXACT SPEAKERS as the base system with the addition of a subwoofer & an amplifier.

These fit in the dash and sound bar and will bring a truck load of clarity.

Really? Do you have part numbers or something to back that up?

If so that makes me happy I didn't spring for the alpine
