Hey everyone! I’ve been driving my Chrysler 300 for a few months now, and while I love the car, the stock Alpine setup is really lacking that 'punch' I’m looking for. The highs feel a bit muddy and the bass just doesn't hit hard enough for my taste. I’m considering swapping out the 6x9s in the doors and adding a dedicated sub in the trunk, but I definitely want to keep the factory head unit to maintain all the Uconnect features. Has anyone here done a similar upgrade? I'm curious to know which speaker brands fit best without major modifications and if I should look into a DSP to clean up the factory signal.

Quick question—are you running the 6-speaker or the 9-speaker Alpine premium system? In my experience, the factory amp in the 300 uses some aggressive EQ that rolls off the bass as you crank it.
1. If you've got the 9-speaker setup, it's a bit more complex to bypass.
2. Also, what's your total budget?
I've tried many setups, and adding a AudioControl LC2i PRO 2-Channel Line Out Converter is usually the best first step to fix that muddy signal before you even swap the 6x9s.

This^ Also wanted to add that if you're on a budget, you don't need to spend a fortune to fix that 'muddy' sound. I've been messing with Mopar systems for years, and honestly, swapping the dash speakers makes the biggest difference for the highs.
I'd compare two routes:
1. **Budget Highs:** Throw some Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx 3.5-inch Speakers in the dash. They're super efficient and crisp.
2. **The Punch:** For the doors, Kicker 47KSC69304 6x9-inch 3-Way Speakers fit great and handle the factory amp's power well without clipping.
Definitely look into the AudioControl LC2i PRO 2-Channel Line Out Converter to tap the signal for a trunk sub; it has 'AccuBASS' which fixes that bass roll-off mentioned above. It's way cheaper than a full DSP but gets the job done. Good luck!
