Was thinking about this myself, check out this thread;
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/whe...speakers-8174/

If you havent bought the speakers already (and depending on where you were planning on putting them), I have read that 6x9's are not as good as 6.5" speakers -- especially 6.5" components -- due to their shape.

I just mounted some stock doors speakers out of a VW passat on my lift gate. Works like a champ. I use to be a VW tech and I nabbed them from an abandoned car a customer left.

Haha yeah they do! I might go to 6x5's though because having the 6x9's in I can't role my window down all the way and it irritates the crap out of me!

Thanks, what I did was get two more speaker covers like the ones thats there already and just mounted them under the originals,then the speakers are behind them protected.

Looks like it came from the factory like that.... so 6x9 in the hatch good idea but not doors.... what about the speakers in the dash how big can you go with those?
