    I have the premium 8" screen/non-JBL system, and recently did a speaker upgrade with Kicker CS Series Triax/Coax/Tweet. Here's some info on the speaker harnesses:

    Front Speaks: Metra 72-8104
    Rear Speaks: Metra 72-8109

    The Kickers sound great, money well spent.

    This info is hard to find, as I had to learn the hard way. You'll likely have to extend the Front speaker adapters about 2-3"----I know, stupid right? They couldn't give the customer a little slack to work with.

    I did the kicker CS and DS18 twetter upgrade. While its VASTLY better than stock. The extra tweeters in the kicker CS door are OVER the top too much. Its much better than stock. But the highs are out of whack and way too much. Maybe its my DS18 tweeters. But I plan to remove the kickers and those tweeter and will put in a proper component set (which is what we had stock) in next. My trebel is set at only 2 (from far left) to not make ears bleed. Its too just much treble.

    I would not get coaxial 6x9. Get components!

    FYI...the stock head unit plays flac files from usb. NICE. I have 400+ CD's on a 1TB stick and it really sounds good/balanced.
