    i would like to upgrade the speakers in my 2021 limited to get better quality sound.
    Has any one tried the power bass 2ohm speaker upgrades ?
    I like that for around $300 bucks I could get a better quality speakers, but are they that much better?

    I put Infinity Kappa xovers in mine. I replaced the speakers before the amp just to see if I noticed a difference in the sound. Even though the Infinitys are high efficiency there was not much improvement until I changed the amp.

    Think you will get more bang for your buck by changing head unit or amp.

    Is this what you are talking about?

    Really depends on your budget.
    Unfortunately there entire stereo is pretty weak. The head unit is pretty wimpy and really rolls off the bass at high volume....the speakers are cheap....it all needs to go.

    You can start off with speakers, but you'll end up wanting to change the head unit, then if you still aren't happy, grab a 5ch amp and a sub or two and you are set! If a head unit isn't in the cards, i would try to grab an amp and speakers. That will make a good bit of a difference.
    I recommend you email james at tech12volt, (tech12volt@gmail), let him know what your looking to get out of the stereo and how much you want to spend and he'll set you up.

    My opinion, keep it stock or overhaul the system. Adding speakers will give you minimal gains, adding a sub to the existing system will give the same results. The JBL is set to run exactly what is included, it doesn’t have the power to give you more. I kept the head unit, everything past is new. Could not be happier.

    I went with a local shop after attempting a DIY. Worth every penny spent after I completely mangled my system.

    It's good
    What they said or just listen to audio books. Ive been running a weakly powered plug and play powered sub for 15 years and its a huge improvement over crappy stock. But it's not going to impress anyone.
