i like it. Thanks. It super simple to operate. I have a tazer for my TRX and not a huge fan of it. So i purchased a 2nd code for it. The ECRI does what I want and a good human interface.

Installed the rollbar 6 5" speakers and tweeters. Base is not an issue for my ears, it's the higher tones that are gone. Easy and fun mod that's cheaper that 60's! Lol

Also used my ECRI for the first time. Change low air settings, fogs on with high beam, and hopefully hood alarm. Easy peasy.

How is the sound now? Better?
 
So I was able to drive a bit today and tested the new speakers (dash, rollbar tweeter and woofers). I'm no audiophile, but I really like this mod over factory speakers. I can hear tweeters now as well as the dash speakers. I will add the tweeter mounts (included with them) to point them forward to my ears.
I'm not going to change the knee speakers.
 
Got the baja lights for replacing the oem fog lights.
Ordered Nitto RG 38's.
Sold oem BFG 35's.
Removed the rings off my xr rims so tire shop doesn't f'em up. They look naked!

Removed:
35" Tires, fender liners and fenders. I'm going to try to not chop the fenders first, but gut the bulky plastic crap.

Also, I decided that I will install stainless nutsers and bolts for the fenders (instead of AAL metric bolts). They will be 1/4-20's. I wonder why AAL coats the liners but not the brackets? Paint time...

Several of the white fender clips where never seated from factory, rear fenders, and paint started to chaff. Grrr.

Every time I see your Jeep, I think it's mine.

While waiting in some parts for the fenders, I mounted up the BD fog lights. So simple!

Also removed the sub woofer panel to prep for the Teleraflex spare tire mount and hinge.

While you have sub enclosure panel removed, I'd install some peel-n-stick Dynomat type sound deadener, along with rest of storage area. I plan to treat all of my 392 floors, doors, firewall, etc... Made such a difference in my truck.

Good choice with 38" C load rated tires. That's the choice I'd make if/when upsizing. Don't get why there aren't more options?

I agree with not replacing knee speakers, mainly due to limited size of factory enclosure. Factory ported the enclosure to help with lower frequencies. Many have found after replacing factory size knee speakers with larger 6.5" , results were not much of an improvement in lower frequencies. After I upgraded my front dash speakers, to gain missing upper frequencies, that a slight fade towards front, one notch forward on Uconnect fader control, helped with imaging and overall sound. Because when in drivers seat, your ears are so close to roll-bar speakers.

Please report back after driving with new 38" tires. Very curious about difference in overall handling and acceleration performance difference?

Will do. Can't wait. But I'm sure I'll need new ball joints, tie rod and drag link from the wear. Tempted to do that work now.
