i have a 2000 cherokee sport and my front speakers are not working. i read that there is a common problem with the front speaker wiring in cherokees that cause the speakers not to work. i was wondering how to tell if the wiring is bad and also the stock speaker sizes for the front and rear speakers.

 

The wires usually fray in the door boot. I had the same problem, ran new wires from the head unit and haven't had an issue since.

As for speaker size, I just bought Kenwood Kfc-p709ps components which are 6.5" speakers. They fit right in my 98 XJ Sport. The rear if i remember correctly are the same size.

 

Good choice sir!! Lol had Kenwood component in my first XJ('92) and it was AMAZING!! So needless to say that's what I'll be puttin in my '95

 

Yep I had the wire breakage in the door boot too. I saudered new wires in and left some extra slack so it wouldn't happen again.

 

x2 on the bad wiring. I had the same problem on my 2000. Just run new wires to the doors and you are good to go. Use a heavier gauge wire so that it doesn't happen again. I also replaced my speakers recently. The stock speakers are 5.25" but I installed 6.5" pioneers all the way around without any trouble. (Also threw in a JL Audio sub in the back for a little sumpin' extra!)
