Just go to Crutchfield and the site will let you know what fits your vehicle.If I have the 7” display with the cheaper stock speakers can I still convert them or does this work only for the 8.4 with alpines?
Thanks for posting these! I can only imagine what using all of these would sound like...These for the 3.5” dash, but not out yet. Still watching, but think they will be a big help directing the sound toward the driver.

These 6.5” for the soundbar. I pre-ordered the adapter and think they ship next month.

These 6.5” for the knee speakers, but they have to be ordered though a metra dealer and can’t be ordered directly through metra.

Haven’t decided if I want to tackle the knee speakers and disassemble the dash to get in there.
A work in progress, but haven’t made it to the sub yet. Maybe others have done this swap?Thanks for posting these! I can only imagine what using all of these would sound like...
...what about upgrading the factory sub in the factory enclosure? A shallow mount sub probably fits in there.
Just a note on this. The magnet size is irrelevant in this swap. The Alpines are quality dome tweeters (high fidelity/ narrow range), the magnet to drive is about what you see on any quality tweeter/mid-range speaker, it doesn’t have to be large, large is less precise. The JBL / Infinity are two-way speakers have a broad range/lower fidelity and need a larger magnet to drive them. Generally it would be a sin to replace a tweeter with a two-way speaker. However, I think most of the fidelity of the tweeters is lost it the Jeep space and ambience.Update: Because the Alpines are low quality IMO and look about like they sound, cheap.
See pictures below comparing the magnets.
1) Alpine
2) Infinity
3) JLAudio
No wonder the Alpine’s sound so bad & muddy, there isn’t much there.
Curious as well. Anyone know if the factory speakers are 2 or 4 ohm or some other odd number?I’ve used Infinity speakers in my Airstream to replace the crappy stock speakers and I generally like their sound signature, but I’ve always liked the sound of the silk dome Morel tweeters for miss and highs.
Anyone used 3.5” Morels? Would they be compatible with the the Alpine amp or would you need to solder a capacitor?
My top dash Infinity 3.5” and soundbar JL Audio 3.5” speakers installed for a little over a month now and still like them or at least much improved over the stock premium speakers IMO. Certainly can hear more clearly with the stock premium partially swapped out. I’m planning to order the Morel 4” (still deciding on the Tempo $250 or Maximo $150) to complete the soundbar swap in a couple weeks. I’ll update after the swap of the 4”. Then decide if I want to tackle the rear sub and dash knees or if it’s good enough with the 6 speaker swap vs all 9. I visited a high end audio shop and the sales guy let me listen to Morel, Focal and Alpine switching back and forth. The Morel and Focal both sounded good, probably just listener preference. He said for a Jeep I should get the Morel’s for when the top or doors are off. He added the Morel’s will be better in his expert opinion and customers never complain after they buy them.I’d happily do the upgrade again, but if I were doing an amp and upgraded separates, Morel would be my choice as the silk dome tweeter is more laid back, even though it requires more power.
