i was searching through threads on multiple sites to find out the speaker sizes fot tj's. and i came to the conclusion that the fronts are 4x6''s and the sound bars are 5 1/4''s. but as i was looking for replacements on circuit city.com they claimed my sound bars speakers are 6 1/2"s. what gives? so i come to you guys for the correct answer. i just want to upgrade my speakers for better sound. besides i have to keep hitting one of my sound bar speakers right now because it keeps kicking out, and i think its blown anyways. ;D any recommendations on speakers would be cool. but no super high priced stuff. im cheap.  jerry |

that site is awesome for all types of stuff car stereo wise....they'll tell you the right size speakers, the right wiring harness and anything in between.....It's really good.
Also, the reviews/opinions are very accurate and helpful.

Take the speakers out of the jeep, and take them to the store of your choice, and ask for new ones.

Here is the skinny on TJ speakers (with OEM soundbars/pods)
the OEM speakers are:
fronts are a 4x6(not exactly),
rears are 5 1/4
you can put 4x6's in the front with the use of a mouthing bracket (found at any stereo shop)
you can also put 5 1/4's in the front using a different bracket (I got mine online, but some shops have them)
as far as rears go, it depends...
97-02 TJs take 5 1/4's, and can fit most 6 1/2's due to the way the sound bar is
03-06 TJs take 5 1/4;s ONLY because of the "pods" If you make up a filler piece for the pods, so that the new speakers would not be recessed mounted, then you could probably do 6 1/2's

any recommendations on speakers would be cool. but no super high priced stuff. im cheap. jerry best bang for the buck at my shop would be kenwoods for the 5 1/4 or 6 1/2's if you don't mind spending a little more, the alpine type S or the infinities are great speakers. as far as the 4x6's go, pioneer makes some decent ones, infinity plate-style 4x6s are real nice. |

the kickers are a pretty good speaker. keep in mind if you have a 97 TJ with the factory sound bar, GO WITH 6 1/2's!!! much better bass response than a 5 1/4. All you gotta do is use some short drywall screws or self-drilling screws and make new holes for the larger speaker.
