speakers for a jeep wrangler?

Post by trick »

Can anyone help me, I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler. I am replacing the factory speakers and radio. I am not sure what kind of speakers to get. I have 2 4x6 in the dash and 2 5.25 in the sound bar. What kind do you need 2 way, 3 way, or 4 way? The stereo i am looking at is a Sony Mex-1gp, it has 17 wats rms. I am just not sure what spekers will go with it and sound good with the top down. I will not have an amp or sub. I just want good clear sound. Any help would be great, thanks. Trick

Well, first of all, i would recommend against the Sony HU. Sony hasnt been a top quality Car Audio brand in a while. I'd recommend Pioneer Premier, Alpine, JVC to name a few good ones.

For best sound quality, Component speakers are the way to go. But you would probably have to make custom kick panels for them. I dno how much space you have in the doors for speaks either.

Its hard to find a high quality 4x6, but i think Infinity makes a nice 4x6 plate speaker. Def. get a plate 4x6, as it has a separate woofer and tweeter (essentially a 2 way).

Lots of companies make 5.25's. Just check out the Good, bad and ugly list in the faq's:http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/s ... d.php?t=32

Hope this helps slightly.

Well he's not gonna go with an amp so look into some low powered coax's. The arc audio kar series coax's will work very well. I was using 5.25's and they rocked, and were rated at 20 rms. So that would match up very well with your cd player. But if you really want it to sound good, I say go with an amp and you will get so much more outta your music.

Sorry, i should have clarified.

The 4x6's are NOT comps. And i meant to recommend Coax's for the 5.25's as well.

Thanks for proofreading my post Matt :thumbsup
