Car speaker installation has changed a lot over the years...

[jplinville]

I bought some Alpine 3-way coax speakers to replace the full range cheaply made factory speakers in the Jeep...all 4 are 6X9. It was probably the easiest speaker swap I've ever done. The only tool needed was a Torx bit. The covers pull off the doors, revealing the speaker. Remove the 4 screws and pull speaker out. Once you add the wire harness to the new speakers, they plug up easily to the factory plug. Place in spot of old speaker, run the 4 screws in and pop the cover back on.

My son and I had all four done in under 15 minutes in the driveway. They sound so much clearer and crisper than the muddy sounding stock speakers...and the bass is better, too.

I was dreading the job. I remember dealing with older cars, where you had to remove whole trim panels, carpeted pads, etc, only to wind up cursing the designer of the car...and install speakers that still sounded horrible. Things have changed quite a bit over the years...
