Anyone upgrade the corner speakers?

[Thx_1158]

I thought I saw some discussion on replacing the dash corner speakers. Im thinking about these:

JL Audio C2-350x 3.5” C2 Series 2-way 4-ohm Coaxial Car Speakers

JL Audio C2-350x • 80W Peak 50W RMS 3.5” C2 Series 2-way 4-ohm Coaxial Car Speakers • 40 watts Peak Each 25 watts RMS Each • 3/4" Silk Dome tweeters • Mineral-Filled Polypropylene cone material • Impedance: 4 ohms • Sensitivity: 86 dB

What I want is a bit more clarity and sharpness to the sound without cutting into wiring. Easy upgrades. I think the 14 speaker JBL is ok, but It needs a bit more sound stage and bass for me. Figured I’d drop these in then later upgrade the bass. I can polyfill the enclosure and dynomat it as well while I’m in there. Thoughts?

Where did you find the stock speaker sizing? I’m rather disappointed in the “upgraded” JBL system when compared to the tundra. I’d like to upgrade all the speakers

Somewhere you can find a post detailing location and size. I know the corners and center dash are 3.5. That link I posted has options for all locations.

I upgraded my base 10-speaker system, used Infinity reference REF307F for the dash.

LC Trim base level stereo

I have an LC trim non-premium and wanted to upgrade the stereo. Luckily I have a calibrated UMIK-1 microphone to do some comparisons. First off I wanted to see what was included with the OEM stereo I found this press release which matches what i found when i pulled the door panels. It is...

@SOCAL250 has done a TON of work upgrading their JBL system:

JBL Stereo

There is a lot more bass potential with the JBL system than I'm getting in normal use. I found the LC JBL system's lower end bass response disappointing; there were some notes my old Grand Cherokee's 10 speaker Alpine system hit with authority that are largely absent in my LC. Thinking...

Those speaker won’t work because they are two way. If you have the JBL premium then you already have tweeters in the pillars. So putting a two way in the corners would be placing two tweeters right next to each other which would not sound good. You need to find just a mid speaker.

I’m wondering whether the high frequencies are even being sent to the corner speakers. If not, the two-ways should be fine. Does anyone know?
