[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8893914, member: 683415"] Picked up these nice cheap pods by Recoil Audio off Amazon for like $30. Used NVX 90 mil CLD on the door cards. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000001324.jpg"]63992[/ATTACH] Then I cut out the grilles and screwed the pods over the hole where the grille was. Comes with a nice thick gasket on the bottom of the pod to seal it to the door card. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000001333.jpg"]63993[/ATTACH] Installed on both sides in my 98 Cherokee [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000001343.jpg"]63994[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000001344.jpg"]63995[/ATTACH] Speakers are Recoil Audio RAX (Rose Gold) Coaxial 6.5s. Jeeps of this era didn't have great options for aftermarket speakers. I believe Wranglers only had tiny speakers in the dash and Cherokees and Grand Cherokees door cutouts were tiny and had tiny mounting depths. These are replacing a set of cheap infinity Primus 5 1/4 speakers. I've been having issues with both of them and I suspect the crossovers are cheap garbage and are breaking down I went with coaxial this time because there is not any good place to mount a crossover behind the door cards or anywhere really in this Jeep (also these were laying around so no extra cost). I got angled pods to make the speakers not beam into my legs and the middle divider wall. This helped a bit but what really helped was my headunit has a feature called "sound lift" (btw anyone know how this works?). I almost always leave all the extra settings off but this really helped. It sounded like the sound stage I got from my components with the tweets in the sail panels. Overall I'm happy with it and they sound good and are loud on just HU power. I have a recoil 80.4 ready to throw on there too so I'm sure they'll sound even better. If you need a cheap way to install bigger speakers, this was def easy. Hardest part was scraping the almost 30 year old glue off the door card that held on the factory sound insulation so I could roll on the CLD. [/QUOTE]
