Would these speakers work?

[KJ zGal]

So I'm looking to replace the stock speakers in the KJ, the last one went yesterday and now they all rattle. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a used pair or new stock speakers to get me through til I can buy an amp and another decent set after christmas. I found some on ebay from a 2000 XJ, and I wondered if anyone knew whether they would fit.

The tweeters in the KJ seem to be fine, the rear speakers don't work unless you fade to back and turn the volume to level 50+, and then you can just barely hear it...the driver's side front has rattled since I bought it, and the passenger side went out yesterday so now it rattles too.

If you guys could let me know what will fit and what won't, where to get some for not too much $$$, or even have a used set lying around that you don't need...reply or send me a PM. Thanks!

I don't think they will. They look like the old ZJ design, but I could be wrong.

They are not the THREE mount basket, those only have two. I think they'd physically fit, but the mount holes won't line up. They are from a 2000 Cherokee.

Chicks dig uninterrupted music without commercials.

I always knew...

Hope over to crutch field and check out speakers and prices. Not sure if you have the infinity system but be aware the front speakers may have a crossover mounted to them to separate the mids and send the highs to the tweeters in the dash.

Glad you cleared that up!

Also XJs have 5 1/4" speakers and KJs have 6 1/2" speakers

You can repair your old speakers pretty easily if you want to.

Removed the speaker and place a small bead of clear silicone between the foam surround and the metal speaker housing. Let it dry 24 hours and reinstall.

Mine is still working great after six months or so, and there hasn't been any noticable sound loss or difference.

May have to try that. My passenger side speaker finally let go an its rattling like screws in a tin can, sounds awesome. Not sure if I want to spend $200+ on components and rewiring everything to run new tweeters in the dash. Probably have to custom mount those tweeters in the dash too. If I did that I would be forced to go ahead and get an amp for everything.

I'll have to give the silicone thing a try too--won't help the back ones that just don't work, but in the meantime, thanks to everyone for clearing up the XJ-KJ speaker switch =]
