Installed Kicker 43CSC354 3.5” dash speakers

[wwalljr]

I just ordered two sets of JBL GX302. So I will have an extra in a few days. My zip is 95672.

How do you like these in the dash?

How do you like these in the dash?

I have the Alpine system. Definitely an improvement.

Hey all,

I installed the KSC3504s. They great unless the base is all the way up & I turn up the volume above ~22 or so. I get some bad rattle/static from them.

Ideas?

Do you have the alpine or the base system? If you have the bsae 6 speaker system you need a high pass filter also known as base blocker. Something like 300 HZ cut off would work well.

I have the base 6 speakers, got my bass pegged out, no bass blockers, no reversing polarity, and it sounds amazing cranked up (past 25).
Although I do have the JL C2's, not the Kickers.

Perfect! should I be concerned about the RMS limit?

The factory stereo isn't anywhere near the 50 watt RMS limit.

Perfect thank you!

A previous poster mentioned replacing door speakers with JBL. Are they 4 ohm or 2 ohm? I have owned this truck over a year and have never really been impressed with the stereo. My 2018 ZL1 Camaro has a much better sounding stock system. So, I am probably going to replace all of the stock speakers in this truck.

So I just ordered my 3.5 speakers. I went with infinity. Always had good luck I’ll let y’all know how they sound .... my question is , has anyone done the front doors ? I dont have the alpine and am just curious if anyone has dropped in and aftermarket 6x9 I’m the fronts and it make a huge difference .

Night and day difference, very impressed.

Just installed the Infinity Reference (fronts and center) Amazing difference especially in clarity. Well worth the $100 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B8T66KB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Grabbed the wiring harness off of ebay (Metra 72-7902) I have a 2019 with the Alpine.

Did you install three in the front dash? Or did you only have 2 slots? I have an extra one for sale. Just ordered them about to install next week when i get them.

Why would they be backwards? You noticed a difference switching them?

So did the replacement of the 3 front speakers make a difference? I just got my 21 laramie with the 8.4 non nav.. today and stereo is a very important part.

Unlikely, the dash speakers are not used for the noise cancellation, only the doors

Hi, if i change only the original Alpine subwoofer, it will affect the noise cancellation?

The JBL are really clear compared to stock. They are much louder, but I cant turn the knob all the way up without some distortion. I need to investigate this because i recall someone else having this issue. Maybe from the ANC? I didnt disable mine yet.

ever find out about the disortion i dont have anc so i should be ok correct ?
or what if i went with a 3 ohm 2wAy.
