speaker system for jeep image
Hi I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and I was wondering what good speakers could I put in. I don't want anything to to expensive but I'll pay for good quality speakers. I have the 4 speaker system. Should I modify the speakers mount to hold bigger speakers. I am not looking for too much bass but I like bass also the sound quality. When I'm driving down the highway it sounds horrible. Also I want I try to keep the factory headunit. And also would it be good to put a small amp to power the speakers. Thanks
Answer
whenever i get a new car my upgrade process goes :
big 4ch amp --> sound deadener --> headunit --> sub --> front speakers
ill power the front 2 speakers off of 2 channels of the amp and leave the rear speakers un amplified. i'll use the other 2 channels for a sub when i get one.
then ill make sure nothing rattles, you probably get a lot of road noise on the highway? a properly deadened vehicle is pretty close to silent at speed. http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com read for an hour or so. i usually only "cld" or dynamat and skip the mlv and ccf but you may want to look into it because of your noise issue.
ill skip the headunit part cause you don't want one
next ill add a sub. you can't have a decent sounding system without a sub. I'm not talking some monstrous beast of a sub, just a 8-12 inch 300- 500 watt rms subwoofer in a sealed box.
finally i'll add some speakers. i usually need them at this point beacause my stockers have been blown to absolute hell by a ridiculously overpowered amplifier. i usually choose a home audio speaker from parts-express.com with and make sure it's an alright fit for my amp and also make sure it has really low inductance, which effects how "punchy" the bass is. for simplicity's sake, ill just recommend a component set. i'll do up a mock system for you:

found this nice 5 channel amp, you can run all your speakers (front and rear) and a sub off this

good little sub at a good price

front speakers, not sure what size speaker your jeep is, i guessed at 6.5
with that amp you can add an amplified set to the rear aswell, go coax for a budget speaker, go component if you will have lots of people in the back and can spare the cash.
