98 Grand Cherokee
 

This is related to my other post in the off-topic forum. Anyways, if I decide to get my GF some car speakers for our 1yr anniversary, what kind should I get for her? She drives a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee without the sound package. I want to spend 100-200 US on them, but also want good sound. Is this possible? The stock speakers measure 6.75" front and back I believe. Right now she has stock speakers with an Alpine head unit. Would just getting an amp help the speakers out more than new speakers? Thanks for any input...

PS- I get deep discounts on speakers, so I could get speakers that retailed at $300 for about $150... thanks:yes:

yup 6 3/4 in front and back.. but you could use 6.5, much more availability..

I would look into Kicker.. Especially if you wont be adding a sub.

and no, dont amp the oem speakers.

This is gonna be along post, but its a very quick read:

Which of these looks best? I know jack about speakers, but the Kenwoods look best... anyone know of a good place to get them? (prices are from crutchfield.com)... thanks:yes:

Usually, Kenwood speakers arent that good.. However that specific model, is the one model they really did good one..

They, hands down..


try thezeb.com

If you get great discounts on all speakers and are looking to spice the sound up look into Infinity either 6x9's or their subs.. Be sure to get an amp that is like 1000x2 if possible.... They take MASSIVE power and smile back and ask for more. I know that the 6x9's sound better than some of the subs that people own that i know. Infinity is a type of "GOD" :bow: of speakers

Just want to keep everyone updated... I ordered the Kenwoods from Crutchfield.com and got them in the mail today... great shipping! Anyways, my girlfriend got rear-ended by an illegal immigrant of mexican origin who had no insurance, no ID, couldnt speak english AND had stolen the car he hit her with... anyways he is in jail now and her car is going to shop... will let yall know how they sound as soon as they go in... thanks for the suggestions:yes:
