[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433874, member: 18789"] That is key. The 4x6's blow and there is no way around it. And yes definitely a pain in the ass to get to. It's to the point where I will spend extra time to pull the entire dash to make life easy rather than trying to get up in there with the dash panel on. Especially on driver side where the parking brake is completely in the way. Lots of ways you can go with audio in a Jeep from too expensive to cheap but effective. I'm not necessarily trying to save money but I also won't waste money on extra amazing speakers that won't sound any better in an open top vehicle. Main reason I'm doing components is so I can actually hear something on the highway. Even with an amp I could barely ever hear my dash 4x6's going down the freeway if the doors and or top were missing. I want to do a dash from Double D, and I'm really tempted to see if he can alter his dash shape just a tad to allow me to put a 5.25 and tweeter in the location where the 4x6 once was. Would have to move his dash design inwards just a tad to fit the speaker between the tub edge/end of dash panel and the dash protrusions. But maybe it could be done. I've also wondered if maybe moving the speakers to the middle of the dash might be a decent idea, assuming there's still room to work the gauges and heater control around them. That would probably be tough though. [/QUOTE]
