Speakers? Give me your thoughts..
My speakers in my 98 XJ sport, are not very good. They are an off-brand best buy speaker... (Trust me I bought it used.. lol) So I was wondering what size speaker they are. I'm pretty sure they are a 6.5" speaker, but I'm not sure if they are just circle speakers or not. Also, I was wondering what brand you would recommend replacing them with. Give me your thoughts.

My 99, will fit 6.5's all around. I got some decent pioneers at walmart for $40 a pair they sound pretty good better than I expected for the price. You get what you pay for, better speakers can be a lot more.

Thanks for your input! I will take the pioneers into some consideration. I was either thinking pioneer or kicker.

what i did.... took some house speakers. ripped apart the wooden housing. they were 3" or something like that. i wanted to run doorless and have music. soo.... i put those little 3" in that runner under the steering wheel where you knees are at. there are little "vent" looking things, i thought they were for a/c or heat but there was nothing running to it so i rigged the speakers there. then cut holes for the tweeters. its redneck as it can get cuz its all nasty cut and there are bolts sticking out but they work great and i have music when i run doorless.. just my idea. it was free and practical.

My other hobby is collecting vintage audio equipment and speakers are the hardest part of any sound system to choose. Specs, materials, brands, and other peoples opinions are pretty much meaningless. Obviously you have to choose from speakers that will fit, but beyond that you have to listen to all the speakers you can find and the ones that sound best to you are the best speakers for you. All speakers sound different,and opinions on what sounds "good" are also a very individual thing.When shopping for speakers bring along the type of music you listen to so you can hear what the various speakers sound like with the music you will be playing. There are dramatic differences in how different speakers sound so if you are really into your tunes time and effort spent choosing the right speakers will be well spent.
Good Luck

Since I'm sure your XJ is like most other XJ's, mine included... they're not exactly made for high quality sound. What with all the rattles and bangs and whatnot. I just put a set of 5.25" pioneers in the front to replace the blown stockers. They were 40 bucks at walmart, and I couldn't be happier with how they sound.
I can't tell you how to spend your money, but realize that in these vehicles, there comes a point when real world sound quality and price no longer raise at the same rate.

Infiniti 6022i 6.5s in my '92 XJs doors and added soundbar. I also put 6.5s in my '99s front doors.
I picked up 2 sets of the Infinity 6022i's on eBay for the same price as ONE set at Best Buy and MAN do they ROCK. Had em for about 2 years now and they still hit hard.
Look into them.

My speaker of choice is an MTX 5.25" They have good bass and are super durable. I listen to tons of digital bass with my system and these speakers don't even crackle. I've beat these speakers for the last 3 years with NO problems. They run $42/pair online. If anyone wants the model number I will pull the speaker real quick(like 2 minutes) and get the model number.

My '98 already had an Alpine head unit, Alpine amp, and 4 Alpine speakers installed in it. It sounded pretty good except for lacking a little in the bass dept. so I added a powered sub from Fry's.
It's the 1st time I've ever had Alpine. I like very much.
