WRX Kicker Speaker Upgrade Review: Is it worth it?

Is the Kicker Speaker upgrade worth it? Is it enough? I go over my thoughts on the upgrade and answer these questions and offer my opinion on the system. Those of you who own a WRX with the base sound system have likely already figured out how terrible it is. The Kicker upgrade will be your first consideration when upgrading.

I like your videos the most man! You've got a relaxing voice too

[@Juanparrastudio]

Hey man!

[@willshepherd4544]

Dude, Your videos are REALLY good. Music, visuals, audio, angles... all spot on. I am impressed.

[@etiquettefiend]

Great video. I just installed the tweets and about to do the kickers soon.

[@KouSuccessLeeFX]

great info and thanks for sharing your input! looking forward to more videos on sound improvement

[@crammydavisjr5813]

Awesome video, dude!

[@pherylihy58]

I just ordered the upgraded kickers and the tweeters. I cannot wait to have this installed as the stock system is awful :D

[@leocal74]

I installed these speakers (the tweeter kit was there already from previous owner) to replace the 4 blown factory speakers and the sound is so much improved from before they blew. I might do the Alpine amp to increase it and add sun later but I’m kind of happy right now. Mind you I have a 2014 Impreza Sport so not as loud or stiff as the WRX/STI but do want to change head unit to the newer android ones. That alone should help further the sound experience.

Thanks for this informative video. I just leased a 2020 Outback with basic head unit and speakers, and boy, you're right, it sucks! But because it's a leased vehicle, I don't want to get into any major mods. But I think maybe upgrading the dash and door speakers will improve it enough to make the next 36 months bearable. Thanks again!

[@DwightPowderr]

Great video and information! I have a 2016 wrx and have no idea what it really takes to upgrade my sound system. If you ever have some time and could help me find my bearings with it I'd love to pick your brain. Thanks again for the video.

[@jasondelarosa5457]

Didnt know they made this car automatic. nice video

[@GHOSTPAYNE]

Nice can’t wait to buy the speakers and put them in my Subaru

[@djteako]

I got the full Kicker upgrade on my 2018 WRX - was very well worth it. Was it really rattling loud? no, but it was way better than the stock system, and being installed at the dealer it was fully covered under the warranty. I have now upgraded to the 2019 STi, with the HK system - I've only had it a few days now, but honestly, I think the Kicker system was better!

[@mohamedsiddiqui393]

Whatsup bro love the vids! Just ordered the oem kicker sub for my Wrx. Did you post a vid on the install ?

[@kujiko88]

My Impreza came with the Harmon kardan package.

[@FartsFromApplz]

Just drove my new used 2016 forester back 13 hours from where I picked it up.

[@daniellanzotti2391]

hey man i got the tweets and speakers. You adding that Idoing headunit will give more power to the speakers. Still seems to be underpowered.

[@HappyFunFam]

I am thinking about installing an alpine mini amp (ktp-445u) just like in your video. How does it work the front speakers, rear speakers and the tweeters. I assume they are different ohms

[@richmond806]

Where did you get the install instructions you have in the video for the kicker sub?

[@Kallu.Media1]

Do you think the system would be worth it if I am just looking for a mild upgrade? I want more bass from my base sti. Just some more bass and sound but don’t want the hassle of wiring in something aftermarket. The plug and play sounds appealing.
