Blown Speaker 99XJ
This is a strange one, I get a rattle when music is playing (not loud)
all of the sudden on the drivers side door, it almost sounds like a rattle in the dash, but when I move the fader over to the passenger side, the rattle goes away. So I thought I would see if it was the tweeter that was making the noise or the larger speaker down lower in the door (Factory Infinity Speakers). I went to open the drivers door, and the sound shuts off to the door totally, I have never known that to happen before having the sound shut off like that, it shuts off when the door is maybe open one or two inches. Any ideas? Kevin in Iowa 99XJ |

Re: Blown Speaker 99XJ
The rattle is most likely caused either by a blown speaker or
something else loose that the speaker is rattling - try putting your hand on the dash, or the door panel, etc. to see if the rattle stops. If so, somethings loose. If not, check the speaker - the cone may have ripped. I don't know about your speakers, but a lot of factory speakers use paper cones which tear incredibly easily if you crank it up too loud. Like Crow said, check the wiring through the door to the speaker, check the wiring attachments to the speaker itself, etc. By the way, even though this is the Jeep forum and your problem is in a Jeep, it's probably not the best place to come for stereo advice. Try a stereo group, or something along those lines, they'll be able to help you out a lot more.

"Blown Speakers" are not uncommon in the Grand Cherokees but occur almost

Re: Blown Speaker 99XJ
Check out Crutchfield. They're going to be a little more expensive
than, say, Circuit City or Best Buy, but their customer service more than makes up for it. Don't use factory replacements, just find a good speaker of the same size and pop it in the hole. FWIW, my '95 ZJ has the infinity sound system, and it is a piece of crap. Almost every speaker rattles even below reasonable volumes = broken cones all about. Replacing the head unit and thereby eliminating the factory EQ helped (the unit had failed), but it'll be getting all new speakers, with good solid cones.

Re: Blown Speaker 99XJ
I had the same problem with my driver's door speaker. I bought the through-the-door wires and the sound returned. Shortly afterwards, that speaker began to buzz. I bought a set of Rockford-Fosgate door speakers with tweeters and a bass cut-off (Best Buy). The tweeters fit into the triangular trim pieces - opposite the o/s mirrors, the others fit into the stock door locations. That solved the problem .. I did not add an amp, although the guy at Best Buy said that these speakers would need one.
