2000 Jeep Grand Cheroke: Replacing Infinity Tweeters In The Dash
Hey guys,
I was wonering if anybody out there could provide me with some information about the tweeters in the dash on a 2000 Jeep Grand Cheroke. I have already been under the dash and disconnected the tweeters a couple years ago since I blew one and haven't got around to replacing it yet. Right now, I'm looking at getting either the Infinity Reference 1011T or the Infinity Kappa 10.7t (yes I know I'm a big Infinity person). My question is will both of these fit? I had assumed that the Reference would but I was told from a website that the Kappa would not fit. I know that they come with the mounting kits when you buy them, but it is beyond me as to why one would fit and the other wouldn't seeing as they are the same size. I had read two different things as to how wide the hole from the factory tweeter will be, one said 2.5 and another said 3.5. So, I don't even know which size is correct. I guess if someone could tell me if either of those speakers will work, and if I will need anything else besides the mounting kit that comes with the speakers to do my installation, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Ian |

2000 Jeep Grand Cheroke: Replacing Infinity Tweeters In The Dash
Hey Mike,
It's fairly simple in my opinion, but instead of trying to put it into terms I'll give you the link that contained the instructions I used to get to the tweeters in the dash. This is the one I used and I thought the description and the pictures helped a lot. Good Luck http://www.wjjeeps.com/audio.htm Ian mike wrote: hey, sorry i cant help with your question... but i kinda hope you can help me with mine... i have a 2001 grand cherokee and i want to replace my tweeters too, but i dont know how to get to them... what do i need to remove to get to the tweeters? wrote: Hey guys, I was wonering if anybody out there could provide me with some information about the tweeters in the dash on a 2000 Jeep Grand Cheroke.

2000 Jeep Grand Cheroke: Replacing Infinity Tweeters In The Dash
I don't see a reason why either of those 2 you listed wouldn't fit.
You might have to fabricate some sort of mounting bracket for them, I think www.wjjeeps.com has pics of them mounting the JL Audio tweeters in front. I have done similar things in past vehicles with "hanger iron" that most hardware stores have in stock. I was able to fit a Morel MDT-30 tweeter in the front dash locations in my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and that's bigger than most 3.5" full range speakers, so those tweeters will have PLENTY of room. I did have to do some "work" with a dremel to get them to fit. The front mounting holes are for a 2.5" speaker, I think they are about 3" apart if I remember correctly. I have my stock tweeters sitting at home if you would like me to measure them exactly. The mounting holes were a little too close for a 3.5" full range speaker (Infinity makes one, my friend put those in his '99 JGC Limited) However, you are replacing a full range 2.5" speaker with a tweeter, so any midrange sounds will now be coming from the rear doors. Although you have them disconnected, so it'll sound better than what you have been running anyways.

2000 Jeep Grand Cheroke: Replacing Infinity Tweeters In TheDash
I agree with Jim. I've got a 2000 JGC Limited, also with the Infinity
tweets in the dash, and the passenger side one blown as well. The dash is easy to get off, especially with a wide plastic spreader tool, like for bondo or spackle or something. It might take some elbow grease as well to pop the clips. Mine had plenty of space for pretty much anything, and I'm planning on putting my Directed 1" tweeters up there, which I've just been too lazy to do. At most, you might need some ingenuity for mounting, but they should fit no problem. Brandonb Jim wrote: I don't see a reason why either of those 2 you listed wouldn't fit.
