I hear that there is a bracket that you can install, to put bigger speakers in to replace the smaller stock ones. Does anyone have any info on this?

Thanks guys!
Michael

These plates I have found on ebay and a couple shops in the states...they allow you to up in 5 1/4 inch speakers instead of 4x6s. The advantage is better sounds in the front due to a round speaker.

Here is the ebay site:

If you get them let me know how they work out, since i am thinking of doing the same. I was trying to find a template and make them myself, but no luck. Suppose i could make my own template.

Awesome! thats exactly what I needed, thanks guys. I think i am going to try and just fab up those brackets. I think Lexan/Plexi glass should be strong enough... If I can find some scrap sheet metal, I'll prolly go that rout.

Thanks!

ive made my own using mdf board and also made a set using some sheet metal. i would use the sheet metal as the mdf requires some shaving to fit properly.
just use the factory speaker for a template for the 2 holes on top and 2 holes below. and in a few mins you'll have your very own bracket.

for added sound quality , stuff the area around and behind the speaker with a fibre fill

Did you ever get around to fabbing these brakets up. Just hoping to find out what you used and how it worked out.

4 inch component set in a 4x6 plate. Sounds really good

I actually have a buddy that does audio installs, and he recommended 5.25s over those small component sets.

kenny kustom · « **Reply #9 on:** December 12, 2006, 07:45:44 PM »

i am a mobile electronics installer, i had the component set in my 91, and i really liked them.

I'll keep that in mind! although i think I am gonna get me an awesome deal on some JL 5.25s.....

Considering you are an audio installer, do you have a sub(s). If so i would really like to see some pics of what you did with your box.

I put 4x6's up front, made my own brackets. They work well. As for a sub, I took the easy road and bought a 12" truck sub box from visions. It fits perfect behind the back seat.

I have a drawing of a bracket that I had made for my old TJ. It allows you to use 4" speakers in the stock locations. PM me or email me if you want a copy of it. I have it in DWG, jpg or visio formats.

fony3 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 15, 2006, 10:54:29 AM »

Thanks for the offer, but i am gonna probably buy for fab up some for 5.25"

triver525 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 15, 2006, 10:59:57 AM »

Check you speaker specs. The opening required for the 5.25" speakers is probably much less than 5.25". The brackets I made had a hole that was 118mm (or 4.65") and the stock speaker cover went back on with no problems. In fact, my speakers may have been 5.25" after all. I do remember that a third of the speaker was hidden behind the dash. I also stuffed the hole area behind the speaker with wadding to allow the speaker to build up so pressure and to isolate front and rear of the driver.
