TJ Speakers Upgrade

Eclipse all around... 4.25" in the front.. and 6.5" in the bar. Ugrade to a 60Watt Alpine deck.

Works great.. even @ 85mph.. highway w/ the top down.

concur...did that in my 98 TJ...same setup...was awesome.

Yeah, buy them from someone who installs them for free as part of the purchase. The soundbar speakers are a breeze, but those dash speakers take some work getting to.

As far as speaker recommendations, I've always gotten the deepest bass and richest sound out of Pioneer speakers. Also, do yourself a favor and don't get any speakers that stand out like a soar thumb, like colored ones or whatever if you have a soft top. Jeeps are very vulnerable.

As far as sizes go:

The fronts are easier now-a-days. There is a bracket that can be purchased for $10 or so.. it uses the factory speaker mounting locations, and installs in minutes. Very easy. The trickiest thing for me was figuring out which wire was positive/negative in the stock speaker plug. DC has now added a non-standard speaker plug to the wires... The '03 speaker 'pods' don't fit a 6.5" speakers perfectly. but it DOES works with some precision ... :)

I'd add my votes for Crutchfield, JBL and the ease of fitting speakers and stereos into the TJ!

OK, break over, now back to fitting those 4XD rocker guards; not quite as easy as it seems 8-)

Were you able to get 6.5 in by enlarging the existing hole, stock is 5.25, Mine is sorely in need of sound upgrade.

they fit no drilling or cutting

I'm considering replacing my fronts. The soundbar is OK, but i get a very noticeable buzz from the front speakers. They might just need to be tightened for all I know, but if I'm ripping the dash apart...

I get a 'buzz' from the dash as well. It is the door on the glove box... It is MUCH worse after upgrading.. :) a little foam tape..and all is well.
