Based on the advice of people on and off of this forum, i think i'm going to ditch my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokees "premium" sound system entirely. That system, according to crutchfield.com has 6x9's in front and 6.75's in back...

Would i have a problem fitting 2 pair of Infinity Reference 6.5's in front and back??

Also, would this amp match up well to run these speakers?

Other parts of system will include a Pioneer Premier 680mp head unit, 2 12" Arsenals ported, and an EDnine.1 amp.

Thanks in advance.

well fisrt off are you set on rear fill? http://www.wickedcases.com/caraudio/rearfill.html

and whats your budget for speakers?

also i highly sugguest you made some baffels from MDF to cover your speaker holes so you can use 6.5 drivers.

and personally id never buy any infinity speakers iv heard the kappas and then refs and they both lack midbass and just dont sound great. plus the refs tweet sucks. but if your still looking for cheap components alpine type Rs are decent. i used some for a while and they arnt bad. they sound a little muddy but youll get that sound from pretty much any poly cone. also they are power hungery so id run them with 100-150rms (i used 125)

another cheap but excellent set are rainbow slc265s 6spdcoupe on ca.com will hook you up

i'm not opposed to leaving the back empty at all i guess...maybe i'll just use the extra money to get some beastly 6x9's for up front. What would you reccommend if i said my budget was $250 for the speaks and an amp for em?

I would go with what mat dope said and get an adapter plate to use a 6.5" speaker in your 6x9 opening. Round speakers just sound better.

Also, components will have better SQ than coaxials, so I would get them unless you don't want to mount the tweeter seperate.

And you will only need a 2 channel amp if your not running rear speakers.

yeah mounting the tweeters would be a problem, I read on crutchfield that the factory tweeters mounted in my jeep are not the same size as ANY aftermarket tweeters...

you dont want to mount them in the factory spot anyway. mount the tweets next to the mid woofer some where.

its easy. really depending on how your door is and stuff you might be able to just cut a small hole in the door pannel next to the woofer and slip the tweet in there so it faces tward the center dome light. and then you might have to kinda glue them in place or something.
