I have an '01 XJ limited and was wondering if I can easily fit 6.5" speakers in either the doors or rear sound bar without any mods? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

think 5-1/4 or 5-1/2 is the biggest at least in my 89

here are 6.5" in my 98's front doors!

Without any mods, I don't think it's possible. The existing speakers are all 5 1/4". You can go bigger, but have to mod it.

I have a 2000 Limited and I put 6.5" speakers in the front doors in the stock location behind the panel. I originally got 5.25" speakers but they are actually too small (the screw holes were too close together to fit) so I ended up getting 6.5" speakers and they fit in perfectly! The only thing I had to do was drill a couple small pilot holes for the new screws (could even skip this with self-tapping screws). Other than the screw holes, the openings in the doors were the perfect size for the 6.5" speakers, believe it or not.

I can't say for the rear speaker bar tough as I haven't changed those speakers.

Sorry for the minor hijack, but has anyone measured the depth of the stock locations? Curious as to the deepest speakers that will fit in the stock locations...

For the size and mounting depths they are 5.25 front and back. front has a mounting depth of 2.5 and rear has 3in for the depth. I have put 6.5 in the back but not up front without some modifications.
