Default 14 Rushmore Tri uprade

So I thought it would be good to upgrade my speakers. Started asking questions, reading post and sending PMs. Lots of great info but actually too much for my non-audio brain. Figured I'd just put in some better speakers and be done. Then I see all kinds of flash issues, speakers that won't fit, DSP, ohms, etc. All I wanted was a little better sound than stock. Now I find you must have an amp and that causes even more problems. Was going to do Kappas and then read they may not fit. Polks and Kickers then showed up and a CV amp. Help!! All I want is a little better sound without all the issues....impossible?

If the fairing is same as Rushmore Ultra, Kappas fit with aftermarket grills. If you amp, you can flash or get magic box. I guess for a non audio guy, it really isn't super easy. Not sure what just swapping in Kappas would get you.

I have at home ready to install:
ARC amp
Kappas
magic box
amp kit
aftermarket grills
