Jumped on the scooby kicker bandwagon today, huge improvement in sound and maybe a 1 out of 10 on install difficulty. Maybe 10 minutes of work for way crisper highs compared to the garbage paper cone tweeters. A+ would recommend

Quick mod, worth it!
After reading about the Subaru tweeters I too made the change and it’s made a difference. Definitely worth the cost considering it’s completely plug and play and takes about 10 minutes.

I did this upgrade for the tweeters
And ordered all the other speaker from Crutchfield. Was a very easy swap sound great with factory head unit non JBL and no amp

Does anyone know if this can be done with the JBL factory system? I'm in need of replacing the tweeters. Thanks.

Just put these in, worth the $78, the highs dont sound muffled and sound much more crisp. However, for the true audiophiles who have dolby atmos in their homes, alpine or HK in their cars, and only use bose quiet comforts, these may not be up to your standard.

100% notice zero improvement over stock
Seriously, I put them in and if it has any improvement maybe 3% clearer highs.

If anyone wants to try the mod then buy mine off me. I’ll sell them for 65.00 shipped to lower 48. Pm me.

Get yourself a set of 3.5" coax speakers for less than you paid for just the tweeters and you'll be very happy.

I ordered the subaru kickers, but ended up cancelling and getting the jbl infinity 3022 3.5 speakers. I'm no audiophile, but it sounds very good to my ears. They do require some additional work to get installed like soldering wires and provided crossover, modifying the mount, and trimming some hidden plastic on the passenger side which took 30 mins. I was worried the small tweeter would sound good but take away some midrange frequencies.

Non JBL the door speakers are still full range.

I couldnt agree more. I got these based off of others praises and the difference it almost barely noticeable.
