I want new speakers for the front of my 1997 Jeep Wrangler. The stock
speakers are 4 x6, but I can buy an adaptor that will allow 5 1/4
speakers. I get the impression that I can get a better speaker in the 5
1/4 inch size than the 4 x6 size.




I have three questions:


1. What would be a good choice of speakers for this application ?
(specific model and brand)


2. Am I correct, is the 5 1/4 inch size inherently better than the
4 x6 size ?


3. For this specific car, would separate drivers/tweeters be
significantly better than a coaxial speaker ? Where would I surface mount
the tweeters ? Would separates be quite easy to install?


-------------------------------------

Thanks for any tips !!!!

Go t crutchfields, they can answer your questions far better than a bunch
of guys who drive Jeep trucks not cars.. Do a google search for them.
PS you'll **** off a bunch of guys on this NG if you call a Jeep a car...

Rich, I have emailed the exact question to Crutchfield. In fact, that is
where I started for info. I don't have an answer from them yet.

Regardless of what Crutchfield says, I still want to know from the actual
experience of the people on these groups. Usually, that info and input is
very informative.

Thanks for the reply Rich !!

Back in 1997, there were no adapters for the speakers, so I made my own
brackets to mount them. I got some cheap pair of Polk 4x6's and made do.
With an eight inch speaker box from the local discount store, I've got tunes!

Be sure to have at least 50 watts per SPEAKER if you'd like to hear your tunes
with the top down. This amount of power allows you enough volume without lots
of distortion.
