JBL Upgrade w/o Amp

[Rubicon15]

I’d borrow a MM to be sure. I don’t know what the colors are.

No problem. I have a MM.

I’m thinking about all JL Audio. Crutchfield recommends two different 6.5 inch speakers. One for the front and a different model for the rear. The rears don’t have a tweeter but cost $300 each. The front door speakers are $250 for a pair. The more expensive model may be used in the front or rear. Obviously, at a much higher cost. I’m not into blaring music… I’m more of an audiophile.

I just saw this. Crutchfield is wrong. The front door speakers are just a woofer, TacoTunes makes an adapter, Metra doesn't. The rear doors are full range (have a tweeter), you'll want the Metra adapter for that, though a member had good luck repurposing the OEM ring. Make sure you order the NVX silicone baffle kit (just use the ring), it will protect the speaker from water. We had a storm the day before I swapped out my speaker, my OEM speaker had some water in the bottom of the plastic bracket.

I went with Hertz because the JL 3.5 is horribly inefficient @83db. I had one, it is damn well built. Looking back, the dash is so "in your face", that this sensitivity may not actually be a negative, given the super limited EQ settings. You start lowering the mid and that is not only having an effect on the dash, it is on the doors as well.
