what size speakers come stock in the 90 xj's i need the sizes for the dash, door, and rear speakers

kermit5327

ok so i just found out that the door speakers are 6 1/2 and the hatch ones are 5 1/4

but that still leaves the dash

finneys98xj

i didnt know there was any for the dash

okcjeeper

My 91 doesn't have any in the dash.. In the door it's factory 5.25" and rear hatch is the same. Now I have been told that in the newer post 96 models you can put 6.5" in the doors but the rear hatch is stil 5.25". In my 91 I don't think without modification a 6.5" speaker would mount.

well i guess i should say that when i turn my radio on i get the sound of a blown speaker coming out of the holes in the dash down under and to the left of the steering wheel lol

and so the doors are 5.25 man im confused lol. its just too damn cold for me to go out and take a door panel off and check lol

also thanks for such prompt answers

Some XJs had speakers in "knee panel" of the dash. Not too sure on the size of those as I never ran across em. Call a nearby BestBuy and ask the car audio idiots to look it up. Their books are actually accurate. I am thinking that the dash speakers are probably 4s and mostly tweaters.

You can install 6.5s in the doors of ANY XJ. I installed 6.5s in my 92. My '84 In installed 6x9s in the doors. Not advisable though..

lol thanks what there any type of mods to do to install the 6.5's in the doors

diskman

All I had to do on my '92 was slightly enlarge the hole by bending the edges in just slightly. Done it on several XJ doors. It works fine. Get some nice 6.5s and you will see how much you need to bend. It's not too much. I probably didn't need to bend my '92 as I installed my speakers on the outside of the doorpanel by removing the stock plastic grilles.

nice i like that, its really clean looking like a personal touch lol.

how hard is it to put 6x9's in the hatch because i have a pair thats just kinda hanging around collecting dust

diskman

Don't put 6x9s in the hatch. I did on my '84 and it was nasty messing with the fiberglass. Plus once you finally GET the speakers installed, they will randomly work their way out and fall when you open the hatch. The fiberglass doesn't like screws at all. Every time you slam it shut you pop the screws a bit. It really sucks. Don't do it. Stick 6.5s in the doors and locate a soundbar for the headliner.

Here is the soundbar I pulled from a '95 Laredo and the junkyard last October. Same color as my interior too! With my awesome Infinity 6022i References all around.. It ROCKS!

major probs on the sounds bar that looks real nice. well here is another question then are the speakers in the front and hatch oval or round

diskman

Stock XJ speakers are round 5.25 inch in the doors and hatch. Some aftermarket 5.25s are SMALLER than the openings in the doors, so go with 6.5s in the front.

I am completely new to the world of Jeep. I just bought my Cherokee last friday. My question is what size speakers do I have, and what size to replace them with? I have a pair of AWESOME JL Audio 6" VR600-CX's, which I would like to use... Am I able to? The depth looks about the same as the 5 1/4" speakers in the front. I want to replace the other speakers in the car, but dont know where to look or what sizes! Thanks for all your help!
