Speaker upgrade for TJ

[KyleTJ]

I recently replaced my factory woofer in the center console and man it made a world of difference. But now that I did that, I realized that the other speakers are also holding back the sound. What speakers would you guys recommend for the dash and soundbar. I am on a tight budget so as long as it is well made with great sound, and it fits, I don’t mind.

Check out Crutchfield's options for the head unit you're using. Some work much better for lower powered units. I used Kicker brand in my current Jeep.

And after upgrading the speakers, you’ll discover that the Jeep itself is holding back the sound and you’ll need a more acoustically designed vehicle.

If you plan to keep the stock subwoofer then kicker speakers should be a decent budget friendly upgrade. I would definitely ditch the weak 4x6 speakers and get a 5-1/4 adapter and put 5-1/4 all around. (Sorry for the duplicate post but the site keeps spamming me with pop-ups that crash the page)

I would definitely ditch the weak 4x6 speakers and get a 5-1/4 front adapter and put 5-1/4 all around. As far as arguments about other things people say or do, I really don't have the time. Peace.

Lots of threads on this topic. Like this.

For the dash you can stay with 4x6 or do some work to make 5.25s fit. If you want to go up a level, get 'component' speakers so that the tweeters can be mounted somewhere else/custom.

For the soundbar, 5.25s fit easily, as do some 6.5s, but not all.

For what they're worth, you can see my notes here.
