Front door speakers

[johnnyc]

Kejtar and I recently swapped some 97 front doors onto my 96. I put my Alpine 5.25" speakers in the doors (had to drill new holes, as the new doors take 6.5" speakers).

The power windows would not go all the way down since they were hitting the speakers. I took the driver's side speaker out, so that the window can go all the way down.

I need to get some new 5.25" or 6.5" speakers that are less than 2" in depth. What are you guys running in your 97+ XJs? And yes, I've checked Crutchfield.

5.25 Alpine two ways in my 92. They sound great for fast, low bass punk rock.

Thanks, but the question was about 97+ doors. My Alpines worked fine in my 96 doors, but not in my new doors. And I would rather not cut up the door panels.

I had some awsome Sony 6" three ways and they worked great in my '78 Ford Courier.

Well I don't have 97+ doors, but I do highly recommend JBL speakers. They just happen to make a 6.5" speaker with a mounting depth of 1-15/16th". Bit on the pricy side. I have their 5.25" Grand Touring Series and I have absolutely no complaints.

Here's the link to their 6.5" shallow mount...

I know that Boston Acoustics 6.5s will fit in my 2000. GREAT sound top to bottom and very, very clear sound even at high volumes.

Thanks guys. I'll check out the Infinity and Boston Acoustics.
