speaker replacement

what size are they ?

i think any that are "3-way"
are good
all depends on how much u want to spend

Quote from "BBD"

One web site I looked at said they were 4x6
another said they are 5.25

Looks like a pain to swap out look at this site

Joe, I replaced mine years ago with some pioneer 4x6's. I didn't tear apart my dash like that either. You can get to them. It's cramped, but you can get to them. You just need to reach up behind the speaker and back off a couple of nuts, the studs stay in place if I remember right. Removing the ebrake makes it easier to get the drivers side. Let me know when you decide to do it. I'll give ya a hand.

In all honesty if you don't have a sound bar get one and drop some good speakers in it. I think it is baest to add good sound right near your ears first especially considering how noisy an open top Jeeep can be and the farther away you move speakers form your ears the louder they have to be to hear while moving and the more embarassing or annoying it is to other drivers when you pull up to a stop light blasting your music. If you have a sound bar and are looking to improve your sound spend the money to replace the speakers or if they are good add a subwoofer and set your headunit to let your soundbar speakers handle mids and highs at a louder clearer level and the sub to handle the bass.

I really don't think you are gonna get that much improvement in sound from a pair of 4x6 in speakers in your dash but if you are dead set on it check out these

Since you are essentially performing a bottom mount install in the dash you may need shims, a couple of washers on each mounting stud will work, to help clearance the rubber surround and tweeter away from the dash but I think these will definitely give you best bang for your buck, you can get them for the same price locally at Circuit City as well.

Also this Polk series is marine certified so you don't have to worry about mud, water crossings and the occasional downpour ruining your speaker cones. I have ran Polk Audio speakers in my last three vehicles and have always been very impressed with there performance running only off my headunits. I just put 2 pairs of 6-1/2" Polks same series as these in my Cherokee and they sound great.

But really if you don't have a sound bar or crappy speakers in it currently upgrade those right near your ears first they will make the most improvement before adding any to the dash.

You can also improve the sound quality and bass response of your soundbar by removing the speakers and stuffing it with polyfill. You can get a large bag of polyfill from any craft store or Jo-Ann fabrics for about $2.

One last thing, if you are gonna buy a sound bar, buy it without speakers and the largest single speaker openings you can get. Don't try to save money buying one with speakers installed, the speakers are always junk. Save the few bucks and spend it on some Polks for the soundbar.

Sorry this went on so long, Jeep Audio is something I am very interested in.

hey joe fab up some brackets like i did and put 5.25 in rounds in the front the sound is better cause the rounds dont fold like the 4x6 can.
