Updating Gen 2 with Meridian speakers

[DB88]

Curious if anyone has updated their Gen 2 R1T or S with Meridian speakers. I have a premium auto in my Gen 2 and its not great.. I'm currently driving a Gen 1 loaner and it has the Meridian speakers and amp.. WOW its so amazing compared to my Gen 2... There must be some damaged, salvage yard Rivians by now that have someone pulling these parts out to sell.

Cheers From Canada.

Ebay has lots:

Personally, I would just swap out the door speakers with something more robust from Crutchfield that would closely bolt right in.

It's sad seeing so many camp speakers for sale. I'm sure some of them came from salvaged Rivian's but a lot are probably from people parting their cars before they trade them in.

Not sure what else changed with the Meridian sound system but I'm guess it's not just speakers, usually the branding comes with an amp and DSP/active EQ to obtain that brands signature sound so just swapping speakers might not be enough. But I'd try quality aftermarket speakers of the same dimensions and resistance over OE almost all OE speakers are built to a price point.
