Lots of post on this... You will find out that you cannot easily replace the speakers without changing out some hardware. When I purchased my 2019, 2 years ago, I went to a audio shop that I have used in the past and they provided a quote for the required hardware to add new speakers and it was in the low 3k range. This did include new radio interface, amp, speakers and sub. The hardware to allow them to use the factory radio was $700.00 alone.

Can you just change out just the speakers... NO
Can you upgrade the hardware to install new speakers.. YES.

Note, Upgrading the radio system probably would void the warranty of the radio and probably anything that used the interface. Your dealer response will vary.

Oh yeah... The quality of the sound in my 2019 SUXS! I miss the days of just popping the door panels off and installing new speakers.. Damn, I'm old.
