Focal Speaker Replacements

[WILDHOBO]

I know this is specific, but here goes. I’m a huge audio quality fan at home, but haven’t bothered in a vehicle in the last 20 years. Here are my goals for this question, with the understanding that if I can’t meet these goals, I’ll just not do anything.

I have the 7” radio without any alpine upgrades, meaning base level Oem speakers with no subwoofer. I’d be willing to spend a small amount of Black Friday money only if I expect a noticeable improvement in sound quality, but I’m not aiming to impress the car audio gods. There’s a good Crutchfield cyber Monday sale that has great Focal car speaker prices.

So here’s the question. Does anyone have personal experience with Focal replacement speakers for the sound bar, knee panel, and dash corner speakers, while keeping the 7” mopar radio? I have no interest in replacing the head unit. Thanks!

I have the Alpine premium sound in my Mojave and I bought these from Crutchfield https://www.crutchfield.com/p_236THND61/MTX-Thunder61.html?tp=105
and they sound really good, I would chat with a Crutchfield advisor they are very good about knowing what you need for better sounding speakers

Thanks, but I have the 7”, non-Alpine system, and I’m specifically looking for anyone with Focal speaker experience in a JT or JL.

Funny, I was researching the same and just read through the below thread. Some good info here and looks like what you want to do.

Amazing project, but further than I’m in the mood to go. I’m going someone has replaced their speakers and had good results. The results of that build are audio god worthy.

Here's my related reply from the wrangler forum, not Focal but still on sale at Crutchfield.

The 3.5’s in the dash and rollbar are worth upgrading. This will give the vocals and clarity upgrade most are seeking.

The 4” midbass in the knee panel and rollbar is not. It is not a coax from the factory and replacing it with a coax does not make sense from an SQ perspective. Beyond that, it takes power to make the most of a midbass.
