hello group i have another question and need some help. on my 93 xj i keep a toat in the cargo area and it covers one of my rear speakers and when i fill up the cargo area it covers both of them and covers up the sound for the people in the back seat. is there any kit or another location i can put the speakers at? i was thinking to put them in the bottom of the rear door but i was afraid of the window would get in the way when i roll them down. if anyone could help me on some info i would appreciate it. thanks...........oh if anyones wondering what a jeepney is its a cab driver in the philippines they drive the old jeeps thats why my aunts and uncles call me jeepney driver

The 93 XJ should have a place in the rear door for speakers. The rear windows over here in the U.S. don't roll down all the way so there is room for speakers.
Take the plasic off the rear doors and look. The wires might already be there.
Or perhaps in the tailgate would be a good location.
That's where they already are.
Some wiring, an amp or two and your problem will be gone. I have an 93 XJ with the rear cargo cover, with a couple aftermarket speakers (think these are JBL replacement speakers for the Mustang, Im using now) and a 120watt amp, the sound rocks at the back of my XJ.
Too answer your question yes, you can fit a set of speakers 51/4 (IIRC) in the rear doors, some trim levels of Jeeps came with this as stock. I can't remember if the harness would be installed, I doubt it, but it could be added very easily.

Maybe you could get the same type of "soundbar" that came in my 95 XJ ... ? It places the speakers across the top of the cargo area, a foot or so behind the read seat.
That said, *I* am looking for a way to reuse some 6x9's (in boxes) in my XJ, but there's no good place to install them :(

Custom build a box that sits across the back, or if no one sits in the back or if they are small you could always build boxes to fit the rear foot wells. A friend did this in his '67 Pontiac, when he was done adding all the speakers the system was pretty good even sounded decent when the top was down.
If you dremel the rear hatch you can fit 6x9's. you may still need to make a few brackets up though.

Kinda sorta ... ;-) It's not a "box", it's more like a "c" channel made from some stiff material with the open side facing the headliner. It crosses the back of the cargo area (side to side) just behind the rear seat. It's held in place (seemingly) by being trapped by the rear window moldings. The
5.25 inch speakers are mounted near the outside ends, slightly angled inwards. These speakers are a substitute for the tailgate speakers (AFAIK).Sorry if that's "clear as mud". If I had a digital camera, I'd take pictures. You might be able to ask about it at a Jeep dealer parts department?
