Default Fitting 6.5" Speakers in a '98 Jeep XJ
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had some advice/step-throughs on getting 6.5" speakers to fit in the front doors of a '98 Jeep XJ. I know they are stock 5.25", but have heard it's not too hard to get 6.5"s in. I have heard that you just need to make new baffles?

Thanks in advance!

Just use a drimmel and make the wholes bigger and then use metal self taping screws to hold it in place.

I screwed mine in at an angle and it holds good.
