Im looking for a decent component set for my 96 GC, but the the mounting depth is an issue. I believe i have around 2.5" depth.

I listen to rap/hip-hip music

don't buy Hertz on ebay, you have no idea what you're getting.

how did you verify your mounting depth? did you remove the factory speaker, measure from door to glass, and measure the top depth of the factory speaker? you'll need a decent mount for the speakers, that will gain you some extra depth.

The Hertz ESK line is in your price range (I assume under $250?), new and authorized. Though, i'm not a fan of the tweeter.

I havent personally measured the doors, but threads on the jeep forum have said the depth is ~2.5"

Look at CDT they might have something for you that will work.

what CDT comps are worth trying out? I've read some threads where people have been unhappy with CDT

anyone else?

don't just assume people on the internet know how to measure depth. it takes you about 10 minutes to pull off the door panel and remove a factory speaker so you know front AND rear mounting depth. you need to know both b4 you can determine maximum speaker depth.

it also helps you plan the mounting baffle.

if you need I have some adapters that allow you to fit a oversized 6.5 in there
