Dashboard Tweeters/Speakers

[markwalker]

Hi there I want to change my factory dashboard tweeters/speakers. I understand they are 2.5" in size but I'm finding it easier to find Rocking Horse S*** than this size speaker :mad3:

Anyone have any recommendations please, I live in the UK.

Cheers

Mark

I thought the tweeters were 2.5"?

I have already replaced the speakers in the front door.

It's one of the things were they say will fit and what will fit are different things. They say there 3-1/2" but 3-1/2" will not fit. I found these as a direct replacement for the dash speakers.

Amazon link to buy if ya want to

All ya need to do wire them up and that is easy to do (I cheated and spliced the old connector from the bad ones to the new ones so they were plug and play). Hope this helps.. *Edit* Forget to mention I have a 05 liberty with the Infinity system but I don't think that will matter..

Are those speakers the same as the factory fitted tweeters or are they a better quality speaker?

 

[GJJ]

They seem to be made of better material, but are the same quality, at least I noticed no difference in sound, was just glad to have the passenger side working again.. Now keep in mind I still have the factory sound system set up so it does limit the performance of these speakers..
The problem you will find is locating speakers that size, the hole pattern for the screws, and the fit because the location for the speaker can't be to thick or else it hits things.
Now if you wanted to modify for some better speakers/tweeter you can look at this posting here from the forums for a mounting option Click Here

I bought 4" pioneers and went to town with a dremel...worked like a charm and nothing structural was cut..

I have purchased a set of tweeters that come with crossovers, do I need to connect these if I'm using the existing wiring loom?

When I buy I'm going to get the components and tweeters together, along with a crossover so everything is funky fresh.

I am having issues removing the A pillar handle bolts. I keep seeing T25 Torx, but mine is just a regular bolt, metric sockets thing wall and standard thin wall sockets wont fit. Its driving me nuts. Anybody have different info other than t25 because that doesnt apply to my 06 liberty limited with infinity system.
Trying to install some Alptine type r tweeters.
