Thanks for the mention
@Fubar if we Supplied Kenwood it was at your request unless we had current stock.
Agree with
@paulg100 kicker speakers are awesome! We are no longer agents for kicker so don’t sell them currently, unfortunately.
These are the speakers we recommend in budget order. They all offer a great upgrade on the stern originals. So depends on how much you want to spend. In our own machines we use the Alpine’s or the focal’s. But to be fair the stage2 Jbl’s are great.
If you want to give some prominence to the subwoofer without parting with a fair amount of dosh then go for 8” 8 ohms as the el cheapo stern amplifier will work less hard with an 8 ohm impedance. Avoid dual voice coils as there simply is not enough power to drive them. Next look at the subwoofer’s sensitivity. ( In simple terms this is is a measurement of how well a speaker converts the amplifier power to acoustic energy. In others words, how loud the speaker will be for a given amplifier power.) look for anything above 90db for sterns avoid anything under 87db. 89db will give a good improvement.

*Prices are current best prices from car audio dealers in the U.K. (some time spent on google could save you some money).
Bulk discount purchases are available from us directly, but single pair purchases are similar to above.
We no longer stock the stern 13cm speaker panels as
@Silverpaolo ones are far better value and superb fit and quality.
Hopefully of some help.....
