[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8717492, member: 676743"] I had a '99 Grand Cherokee with the same system. The 6x9's and the Tweeters are integrated unless you run a separate wire to them, so if you are hooking them to the head unit wiring harness both will be putting out sound.. I used Stinger 9 Wire when I installed an amp that has all the speaker wires and remote turn on wire in it to the back of the deck o and into the aftermarket wiring harness since I wasn't going to be pushing much wattage into them. What you do is instead of wiring in the speakers to the head unit you are connecting the Stinger wire to it instead so the amplifier can be used and you do not have to run individual wires to each speaker location. Which I can tell you on those vehicles it can be a PITA! The stock wiring can handle quite a bit actually without a problem. Mine was 70x4, in the rear I had 6.5s as well. Not sure what you are using for a head unit but aftermarket would be a needed upgrade. Also budget would be something to think about. You can use 6.5 components in the 6x9 locations which I also did at one point until they blew then just went 6x9's till I sold the vehicle. What I did there was install the 6.5 components in a speaker adapter and just disconnected the tweeters at their location. I also added in a set of 2.5" aftermarket speakers that are made strictly for that space and used the stock wiring. Yes it took away from the wattage the 6.5 component getting but it did help overall. [/QUOTE]
