    I did the Subaru tweeter swap as well. I am not an audiophile but I noticed a cleaner/crisper sound. Some complain they sound tinny but I did not experience that at all. The actual units themselves appear to be much better quality. Direct replacement, 10 minutes and done.

    Tinted fronts, blacked out overlays.
    No non JBL. The stock speakers are just paper, the Sub/Kicker speakers feel and look well made.

    I also did the Subaru tweeter upgrade in my 2021 Off Road and am pleased with the sound improvement.

    That said, I’m not an audiophile and also unwilling to spend big bucks on a sound system but the $80 I spent on the new tweeters improved the system enough that I’m happy with it.

    Also, they are a direct replacement and are easy to swap in about 10 minutes or so…..

    Cheers,

    I also did the plug and play dash speaker swap. Definitely sounds better now, but it makes me realize how bad the door speakers are, the bass is so muddy. I am thinking about replacing the door speakers, there are some decently priced 6x9s on Crutchfield that would surely be an improvement. It is nice they include the brackets and wiring harness for free. I notice most folks mention they go with a component system with just woofers in the doors, but I can't see where it would hurt to put some 2 way speakers in there instead. If down the road I end up adding an amp, I will probably be glad to have the extra tweeters in the doors.
