Default Newbie & 99GC speakers

Howdy Ya'll !

I have 2 Jeeps, 1 98 Cherokee Classic and a 99 Grand.

The 99 is actually my wifes, till I get around to buying her a new GC or a Commander. Then the 99 will be my hunting Jeep.

The 99 has a problem with the front Infinity speakers not working correctly.
They sound like they are blown. I dont think they really are blown but would like input from anyone who may have an idea what is wrong.

Could it be the amp is haywire & is there anyway to tell if it is without buying another one ?

if you mean the dash speaker, then yes they are probably blown. You can get replacements form jeep or with a little cutting of the frame can fit aftermarket speakers in teh holles and teh dash covers up teh modification

I recommend the Commander only if you have money to burn I own the 4.7 V-8 and I only get an average of 14.2 MPG with K&N air filter.

On the good note I love my commander it is like a grown up Cherokee with lots of POWER. Towed my old Escort from Wa to Ky with out losing a drop of tranny fluid driving 80+ through the Rockies. Lots of good power.

Welcome to CF we have an introductions section if you haven't check it out yet.

I had the same thing happen to my GC's Infinity speakers. I just replaced them with new ones from the dealer. I think they were around $45 each. It's an easy swap-out.

Thanks to both of you.
i will grab a cheapo speaker and see if it works, then buy some factory infinity's for it. They rock for a fctory speaker.


On the Commander, I was thinking more on the lines of a Hemi.

Doesnt it get more mps's ?

Just as a side note, cheap factory speakers can be found at the JY.

One of my buddies got some pretty nice factory speakers at audioexpressusa.com ...
Maybe you could also find one there...

Checked on replacing the Infinitys in my 98. The dealer wanted 160.00 for front spkrs and 210.00 for rear spkrs. I bought 4 blauplunkts at Crutchfield for 93.00 shipped (I get a discount thru UPS). Changed the dash unit to Sony Explode and wired around Infinity amp (was told it was 2 ohm .spkrs were marked 2 ohm). Sounds good to me and I only have 225.00 in everything.
