Default Factory Speakers Suck. Help!

I've got a 2012 fx4 screw. I have the Sony nav system. Goin down the highway with the windows rolled down, and I can hardly hear the music. Any suggestions, without having to do a whole custom system?

These sites are really good to find what you need. I had the same problem. An inline and four decent speakers will greatly improve the crap stock speakers!!

I have a Kenwood DNX890HD in mine, so wattage wasn't an issue. The factory speakers, however, sounded terrible. I upgraded with four Kenwood speakers from Crutchfield.

Probably just fine. They make them more efficient. I had Kickers in mine.

Not to be an ***, but this question must be asked at least asked once a week. Search is your friend.

Dude, the speakers do suck, but equally important is the extent to which the factory stereo sucks. Do yourself a huge favor here. Get some high quality speakers that can take some power, then get a good amp that can give it to them.

You'll thank me later.
