I bought some MTX Thunder Dome speakers for my dash (3 1/2") and there is no way in hell they will fit. Every website I see says the dash speakers are 3 1/2" but when you match my MTX's up to the factory speaker the are about 1" larger, almost like the factory speakers are 2 or 2 1/2". Can someone recomend a speaker that will fit w/out having to cut up my dash. |

Are you talking about the tweeters? There are no other dash speakers that I have ever heard of besides having tweeters and those are nowhere near 3.5". |

yeah the tweeters. Funny thing is EVERY audio shop/website says "factory" replacement speaker size for those is 3 1/2" so Im hopeing someone here has replaced them and can tell me what speaker they used. |

Check out Crutchfield.com Input your vehicle info and their data base will tell you everything that will fit. Says no after market tweeters are made for the kj. |

I replaced mine with the Polk component system. Their tweets sound great. I have a post somewhere in here with the pics of my tweeter mod. |

Circuit City has a very nice set of Polk tweets...and they're on sale! Check the website. I believe they're about 100 bucks on sale. |

usually when you buy a component set mounting kits come with it. i suggest taking it from the dash to the A pillars to get a better image. |

I like the POlks because you can tilt them so they are not just pointing straight up at the windshield like stock and the majority of tweets on the market. |

I had a 2000 Dodge Neon and every place I called in the US said 3.5 would not fit, guess what they did! So I went the same route witht the KJ, they don't without modifing the mounts. They will fit with minor cutting of the mounts. I just used the tweeters from the Focal 165-V Editions and made custom mounts for them and they work great. Everything looks OEM. |
