Dodge Caravan system upgrade recommendations. (Consolidating from my other threads)

[ledvedder 10+ year member]

Sorry, I have a few different threads going on on this forum that I'm losing track. So, I figured I'd consolidate into just 1 thread.

Here's what I have:

Clarion CZ702 head unit

Factory speakers (2 in dash, front doors, and rear panel), 6 total

I'd like to upgrade the speakers to get a nice, full sound. It's a family van, meaning I have my kids in it a lot, so I'm not looking for anything to shake the street. Just some good quality sound at all volume levels. Crutchfield has recommended some Pioneer coaxials to just replace the 6 existing speakers. I'm looking for your expert/experienced recommendations. I'm new to this, so I don't know a lot about things, but I am a pretty technical person. And, I'm also a musician, so I have an ear for good sound quality. I mostly listen to rock music. My budget isn't much. I'd like to keep it below $3-$400.

What do you guys think of these for the front doors, Amazon.com: JBL GTO608C 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component System: Car Electronics

And these for the rear panels, Amazon.com: JBL GTO928 6-Inch x 9-Inch 2-Way Loudspeaker: Car Electronics

Curious, what year Caravan?

I just had a system installed in my 2002 Grand Caravan with these speakers = Very Happy:

One Set of Memphis 15-PR52V2 5.25's (2 ways) replacing the dash speakers. $79.00 @ Amazon.

Two sets of Memphis 15-PR693V2 6 x 9’s (3 ways)replacing the front door and rear speakers. $125.00 X 2 = $250.00 @ Amazon.

These are great and produce enough Bass to get you by if your not installing a Sub. You may be able to bet those prices a little.

A hands on guy myself I let the shop do it. Got very lucky in the tech owns a caravan. I also went with two amps and a 10" Sub.

Interesting! You fit aftermarket 6x9s in the front doors? Everything I read says they won't fit.

Yes, a 2002 Grand Caravan Sport, as you can see the cover is oblong. They are in there. K?

Nothing like a flash shot to show how cruddy your vehicle is.

Did you remove the grill that's molded into the door panel?
