Re: Blown Speaker 99XJ
"Blown Speakers" are not uncommon in the Grand Cherokees but occur almost
exclusively in vehicles driven by younger people who play "bass heavy" .......ahhhhh.... "music".... at very high volumes that overload the factory speakers.

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.
