Speakers

[Tortoise788]

So im a little confused for speaker replacement. Im used to just front and rear speakers, this is my first jeep. Would I need 2 sets of 4" speakers, one for the kick panels and one for the roller, and then sets of 3.5" for the dash corners and roll bar as well? I see roll bar tweeters listed on Crutchfield but then it shows 3.5" speakers. Please help.

3.5" two ways in the front corner dash x2
4" two ways in the kick panels x2
3.5" two ways in the roll bar x2
4" Two ways in the roll bar x2

From what I have heard you can also purchase an adapter for the roll bar to install 6x9's instead.

Metra makes new housing for the knee pannel speakers to fit 6.5s

And another company makes adapters for the roll bar for 6.5s, and they even have a location marked to drill out for tweeters of you want to run components..(I can't remember the name of the company but crutchfield sells them)

I haven't seen any 6x9 adapters other than custom one... But they may be out there

Im running components front and sound bar, I have the metra housing in the dash and just made brackets for the tweeters in the upper dash.

Originally I made my own adapters to run the components in the sound bar. They worked great and fit everything under the stock grills. But when these adapters came out I grabbed a set because they looked cool.. very happy with them

Which kickers are you running here? Are they marine grade?

 

[BigRed97]

They are CS series ...I had taken them out of my JK before trading it in. Not marine grade but I'm not worried about them getting wet. And if they do some day I'll put in marine speakers

 

[BigRed97]

Oh and the sound bar adapters are from SSV ... Didn't even realize the box was in the pic

I’m placing this order today. Hope to notice a difference over the stock speakers.

do you have a link to the soundbar? I found one on there site but it does not look like there is a tweeter spot

 

[BigRed97]

The tweeter spot is only marked on the back
