Replaced the really low quality corner dash speakers this morning. I went with the Infinity REF-3032 3.5” speakers. I now have highs and mids. The improvement was dramatic.

Low quality stocks speaker came in at 5oz.

Infinity’s with the much larger magnets came in at 12oz. Huge difference.

Easy two screw install took a little under and hour. The wiring harnesses shipped free with the speakers from Crutchfield made the swap very smooth. Getting the screws out right next to the windshield proofed to be the toughest part. I ended up using a 7mm socket vs. the Phillips head route. Much easier.

Interesting about the wiring harness as it is one thing that it doesn't state it comes with, but I'm sure they always throw them in for free.

Just changed out my front three speakers and wow the improvement is dramatic. If anybody wants to buy a infinity 3.5” tweeter with the supporting cable adapter let me know. Located in Fort Worth TX.

Looks like Amazon doesn’t carry the plug and play connector for these.

I couldn't get the Red Wolf harness to work for my 2021 (I have a problem with breaking harnesses, so I didn't push it). Looks like the pins are nowhere near the female holes. Their description says it works for the 21 though. Anyone have any issues?

Yeah when I tried to install mine the pins were too far down so I just used my keys to adjust them up a little. It worked perfect after that!

No problem man! let us know what you think.
Worked like champ since I didn’t snap a pin, which is a win in itself. Pretty happy with the Infinity’s too. Seemed to real clean up the highs. The passenger didn’t align with the holes as cleanly as I hoped, but I got it in and snugged

thanks again

I hear ya on the initial sound after swapping all 3. I had to adjust the Mid from +1 to -3 and Treble from +9 to +3 to suit my ears. The Infinity’s are MUCH brighter than the stock Alpines.
I did Infinity's in the corners and rear ceiling and loved it. Added the middle and it was way too bright and I couldn't get it just right after that. I took the center infinity out and un-soldered the tweeter and re-installed it mid-range only. Its perfect now! Obviously sound is subjective, but it made it more manageable and "full."

Plus if I ever wanted to, a dab of solder and they are 2-way again.
