[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8859347, member: 689267"] Great. I would make sure of the fitment and Crutchfield.com is a great place to start. Input your vehicle type, determine what you need to replace the existing speakers (always use the new crossovers provided on any of them), and then shop around. The dash stuff is tricky in that the size/fit ohm rating can be problematic when trying to find those and other 2ohm drivers that are from the same manufacturer. Crutchfield can help you there too.. You may have to start with the dash drivers to point you in the right direction. In some of these situations, the dash speakers have a dual function as they may be designated for your communication devices too. Not using them means you may lose intercom or phone interaction. Some opt for using them with upgrades but I'm personally not a fan of using the stock dash speakers with upgraded speakers everywhere else but I'm also not a fan of the Bose systems in "most" vehicles. If you had to use the dash speakers with upgrades, a compromise for sure but probably still better than not upgrading at all. I assume that the Kicker sub will replace the stock sub, probably a decent option. [/QUOTE]
