I replace my complete HK system on my 04 JCW. I went with JBL Club Speakers all around (3412T Tweeter, 522F 5.25" and rear 9632 6x9s) as well as a JBL 8 channel DSP 4086 Amp. I completed the system with a Kenwood Media Player KMM-BT732HD. It all cost less than $651. These are ALL 2Ω and the Amp is similar size as the HK Amp and fits nicely in the same location. The thing I like about JBL is it is actually owned by HARMAN...same company. I added USB port to the panel that the Amp is in for future programming and ran a USB from the back of the Media Player to the glove box.
Has ALEXA and Phone capabilities as well as AUX and USB in front. Sounds amazing and NO speaker wiring had to be changed. Discovered that I had 2 bad original HK speakers as well. Was tired of taking chances on ~20yr old Amps and hoping they'd last. Original lasted 17 years, 2nd one 1.5 years and 3rd less than 6 months. I just know it now sounds amazing!

Yep the lower speakers in h/k rusted the terminals and the wires. Replaced those lower ones with stock new H/K. Lucky my amp is still working.

Do any of you have a pic of your new wire run to the front door? I have two sets of the same color wire running out of it for both the tweeter and the woofer. I decided to just say F it and run a new wire and it's driving me crazy there's no pictures of a new wire run into the door through the grommet or how to splice the two wires together.
