I'm planning on the full set of 5 4" speaker swap but planning to go with the new Infinity Reference series. Also going to do the Kicker C8 sub and 500.1 key amp with remote knob. Probably a month or so away from doing that though - will keep you guys posted. On a side note if you haven't tried Crutchfield's compare and listen tool - you are really missing out - I was amazed at the nuance differences you can make out in various speakers.Kicker 46CSC44 Rear Pod Speakers:
Unfortunately, nowhere near the results I was expecting. After installing the new amp, the sound quality when fading to the rear was still pretty poor. This didn't make much improvement. I did (maybe) hear some benefit by fading to the rear combined with a large cut in the bass level and lots more volume. Unfortunately, I didn't do the exact same test prior to the swap.
Any tips: Bass blocker circuit, redo the Kicker amp EQ process, something else?
My skeptical nature has all sorts of red lights flashing here on the feasibility/accuracy of this. A speaker listening test on a little PC speaker? Heck, even if you had a nice speaker system on your PC, you would still have effects from your amp and speakers that would certainly affect any results. Also, how about the recording of the output film the speakers. I suppose mosf variables in that regard could be eliminated, regardless the room and mic will affect the original sound.On a side note if you haven't tried Crutchfield's compare and listen tool - you are really missing out - I was amazed at the nuance differences you can make out in various speakers.
Ohh definitely not on the PC speakers - they ask you what type of headphones you have plugged in - expectation is that you have something pretty good in order to be able to discern differences in audio quality - it's not perfect - but it does give you an idea of what to expect - side by side comparing several models - can also select - same amp power or same volume level to hear differences in efficiency.My skeptical nature has all sorts of red lights flashing here on the feasibility/accuracy of this.

I am using the JCR reinforcement with my TrailRax roof rack. Itβs a must have imo.JCR Full Roof Rack and Reinforcement:
Their rack is great and AFAIK no one else offers their innovative reinforcement system that provides a significantly increased static and dynamic load rating by routing the rack loads into the roll bar bypassing the relatively flimsy roof itself.
This is a much better/safer idea than the guy on B6G who "secured" 3 more wheel studs and lugs, with glue to make it look more completeMade some lug plugs. Looks much better
