2003 TJ Subwoofer and speaker replacement
Hey Folks,
I just replaced the stock CD player in my TJ with a Kenwood unit and it
doesn't even sound like the same truck. Even with the stock speakers it
still doesn't sound bad. The main difference with the Kenwood is the bass.
The stock radio was all bass, but nothing else and it now has good middle
of the road everything. Being the greedy sucker that I am, I want more.
All the folks I talked to at the local stereo places said the stock sub is a
joke. Has anyone ever replaced the stock sub or speakers? I think the
stock sub is a 6" speaker with a separate amp.
I know from Crutchfield that the stock dash speakers are a 4"x6" 2 way unit.
Has anyone managed to install 6"x9" speakers in there as I already have a
good pair waiting.
The stock rollbar speakers are 5 1/4" door speakers. Once again has anyone
been able to successfully install bigger ones that don't ruin the looks of
the soundbar?
Knowledgeable folks ( You have actually done this ) please respond.
Thanks,
Randy

I would like to keep the stock appearance and just replace what's in there
with one sub that works. I have been the victim of a break-in once before
and the more stock looking stereo the better. I take the faceplate off the
new unit anytime I go to a concert, etc...
Thanks anyway, I bet it sounds like thunder in there..........coool

I've seen a console advertised that can hold a sub that points back. Not
sure of quailty, but its a great way to add a sub if that's what you want.
PS my sub is the wind with the top down.....works like a champ!
