    I agree. Good luck with whatever you decide buddy. Almost anything would be a good, noticeable upgrade.

    I ordered a set. $80.44 and free shipping is the best price I've seen anywhere.

    Does the Subaru upgrade make the system too crisp with stock door speakers still in place?

    I understand a good tweeter is a good tweeter, but without the other speakers being changed out is it just a high-end sizzle-fest of treble? Or does it remain listenable?

    I think it’s worth the ~$100, but I don’t think it was a drastic difference like a lot of people say.

    I’ll sell you my speakers. I did the 250 kicker speaker upgrade. They were only used for a couple months before I upgraded. I’ll sell them for $150

    If OP isn't interested, curious what you could do the door speakers for? Wish I could have snagged this before I bought the tweeters yesterday!

    I just recently installed the tweeters and yes; it's a night and day difference to me. I like my music loud and clear. That said, I'm installing the front door kickers tonight. I can write back on those, as well.

    Definitely worth it. Then you need to do the Kicker upgrade as well.

    For me, one of the best under $100 mods that you can do for this truck.

    If you like those it's understandable, but I would recommend giving Skar Audio a try.

    I'm running the Subaru kicker tweets in the dash, Skar TX 69's in my front doors, TX 65's in the rear 120w and 100w RMS respectively. Powered them with a Taramps 400w 4ch amp bridged at 200w RMS.

    Head unit is a Sony XAV-AX1000 - If I turn the volume up past 15 my ears will bleed.

    In my 2004 Taco I had the same amp pushing 4 Infinity Kappa 6X9's. IMO, the Skar setup I have now sounds better overall. Price is a lot less too.
