does anyone have a factory sound bar for the XJ they wanna get rid of?

I would check/post this in the for sale/wanted section of this forum. You see some guys parting out their Xj's on there. You might get lucky.

But have you checked a JY in your area?

I couldn't tell ya for sure. But my 96 sport has it. I'm not sure if it was a package or if it was the year that they put it on our xj's. I'd try googling it, but to be honest if you have like three or four xj's in your jy I'm sure there is one in there with your name on it haha.

This is my third Cherokee and the first with a sound bar and I can tell you that you can notice they are there. Instead of having them in the back hatch... Poor design on that one of ya ask me.

Don't bother with them. They only have 5.25 speaker holes. You can fit 6X9's with some work. But they would be pointing down. Should have speakers (other than the sub) facing the occupants.
I have 1" tweeters under the front dash. 5.25's in the front doors. 6X9's in the rear hatch. And a 10" sub in the rear passenger side pocket. And 5-channel amp under the rear seat. And it sounds great, like a concert hall.

Can you take a pic of your set up? I had a pair of subs fall into my possession just recently, but I was thinking about building something to hold either some tweeters or speakers under the dash in case I could go doorless.

My Xj org. came with the factory premium sound system 6 speakers. (four 5.25"s, and 1' two tweeters. It probably sounded good back in 1991. But to me it sounded like a tin can) The org. two front door speakers, I replaced 5.25 full range 3-way. The org. two rear hatch 5.25 speakers, I replaced with 6x9 full range 3-way. (It took a little trimming to fit them) I used a 10" sub in the rear pocket. Made an enclosure to cover the opening. (look around on here, there is write ups on mounting a sub woofer in that location. A member "KFXHellraiser" even makes them.) And I used the factory tweeters under the dash. My lower dash, about knee height has two openings (what appear to look like vents) But they are not. The tweeters are behind them. I didn't even know they where there. I found them by accident actually. All the other speakers are Rockford Fosgates. My amp is a 5-channel Pyle. My head unit does all the work, because I can tell each set of speakers what freq. they should receive. All the real low freq. go to the sub. The low to mid. freq. go to the 6x9's. And the mid to high freq. go to the 5.25's & tweeters. My head unit is a 12 year old unit (That back in 2000 listed for $1800, I bought a refurbished one about 6 yrs. ago for $450.) It's a Pioneer DEH-90 HDD, It has a 10 gig. hard drive in it. And can hold 160 hrs. of music. Any CD played in it, it records it to the hard drive. All the speaker grilles I painted to match the carpeting, And the sub enclosure is carpeted to match also. So nothing is really obvious to people looking in the car. Don't want to temp people. Google Pioneer DEH-90 HDD you can see the specs of it. From the head unit to the amp is six pairs of RCA cables. Those where a b***h to run. It take me a day just to put all the new wiring in, another day for the hardware.
