Default speakers

does anyone know if there are multiple infinity speaker set ups? does every durango (01-up) with the infinity system have 8 speakers? do some only have 6? just wondering... never taken a look at mine, and am hoping they all have 8, 4 up front, 2 middle and 2 rear.

This is how Chrysler claims you have a 8 speaker setup on a Infinity system.

Front doors - 2 tweeters and 2 subwoofers = 4 speakers

Rear doors - 2 tweeters and 2 woofers = 4 speakers [speaker has the tweeter on speaker]

Those are the only speaker locations from OEM.

thats a bunch of BS, not on your part. why in the older durangos are there two little speaker holes in the rear pillars? you have the old body style... those arent speakers right there?

I do not have those little speaker holes on my rear pillars. Only on the front/rear doors. I have the 1st generation interior and have OEM Infinity system. If there are two speaker holes at the rear pillar, it may be on a 2nd generation interior so I cannot confirm that.

Hello all, I believe what 02silverdurango is referring to are the two vents in the back of the Durango on each side. They look like speaker grills, but are just vents, with a rubber or plastic flap on the inside of them. Those are just there to relieve the pressure inside of the truck when you slam a door, so your windows dont blow out. Hope that helps.

Hey guys, I need to open up a bit of an older topic on speakers...I have a 2000 D and need to replace all 4 speakers in the doors. I know they are 2 ohm and was going to replace them with a pair of Infinity Kappa 62.7i in the doors. As I was laying the credit card down the guy decides to look up the vehicle to make sure they will fit ( which I saw lots of people in other threads say that they were a great replacement. ) and then he tells me that because I have the infinity system with the amp and all that.... that I would have to replace everything ( head unit with an aftermarket, amp with after market and the speakers along with a complete rewire of the whole stereo system ) if I want to put the 62.7i in the doors.....I told him there was no way i was doing that....does that sound like a load of crap to you guys also? I am prepared to just buy them on the internet for half of what i was going to spend and just try them.

Default RE: speakers

if its a 2000 with the infinity, do you have only 4 speakers or 6? this will make the difference.
if you have 6, with the tweeters up front, you need 2 ohm components in the front and 2 ohm coaxils in the rear. you'd be fine using those kappas you mentioned for the rear. as long as they are two ohm. for the front door, you'll have to replace the woofer and the tweeter, so go with these! Infinity Kappa 60.7cs. they sound nice, but dont buy them from these guys they are crooks. get back to me whether you have the 4 or 6 speaker set up. rewiring the whole system is a bunch of BS. ...i'm a stereo installer...

Thank you for your question, I was just told the same thing from a stereo place, I nearly dropped right there in the store. Did you put other speakers in without replacing everything and did they work?
