What Speakers Fit the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Aftermarket fitment should start with the factory speaker locations listed for this 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but diameter alone is not enough. Check mounting depth, bracket shape, connector type, and whether your vehicle uses a premium or factory-amplified audio system. Speaker equipment can vary by trim and audio package, so the safest match is based on the exact location and size shown for your vehicle. If equipped, the factory subwoofer and extra tweeters should be matched separately from the main door speakers.
Usually Safe Upgrades
- If your vehicle uses this location, the front door 6 x 9 inch full-range speakers are the main upgrade point and are the most common size to match first.
- If your vehicle uses this location, the rear door 6.75 inch full-range speakers are another straightforward replacement size to compare.
- If your vehicle uses this location, the 1 inch front door tweeters can be replaced with similar-size tweeters if equipped.
- If your vehicle uses this location, the 3.5 inch dash corner center channel can be matched with a speaker of the same size if equipped.
- If your vehicle uses this location, the 8 inch far-rear side panel subwoofer should be treated as a separate fitment check if equipped.
Check Before Buying
- Confirm the exact speaker location before ordering, since this Grand Cherokee can have 6 to 10 speakers depending on trim and audio package.
- Measure mounting depth and opening shape, especially for the front door 6 x 9 inch speakers and any optional tweeters or subwoofer.
- Verify connector style and factory bracket design so the replacement matches the original mounting points.
- Check whether your trim uses the 506W amplified audio setup, since factory amplifier details should be verified by trim and audio package.
- If the vehicle has optional tweeters, center channel, or subwoofer, confirm those locations are actually present before buying replacement speakers.
Installation Notes
The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 uses a mixed factory speaker layout, so installation should start with confirming the exact trim and audio package. Front door 6 x 9 inch speakers and rear door 6.75 inch speakers are the main locations, while tweeters, the center channel, and the 8 inch factory subwoofer may be present if equipped. Plan on removing the door and dash panels carefully, since clips and trim pieces can be easy to damage. Before ordering parts, verify speaker depth and mounting space, especially in the front doors and any location with optional equipment. Speaker mounting adapters may be needed to match the factory openings, and a harness adapter can help keep the wiring clean and reversible. If your vehicle has the factory subwoofer, confirm enclosure access and connector style before starting. Test each speaker location before reassembling the panels so you can catch polarity or connection issues early. Factory amplifier details should be verified by trim and audio package.
Moderate difficulty, since panel removal, trim-specific wiring, and speaker fitment checks matter.
Common Mistakes When Replacing Speakers
The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee can vary a lot by trim and audio package, so the biggest mistakes usually happen when buyers assume every vehicle uses the same speaker setup.
- Buying based only on the body-style label instead of checking actual speaker locations on the vehicle.
- Skipping trim and audio package verification, even though speaker count and amplifier setup can change from 6 to 10 speakers and factory amplifier details should be verified by trim and audio package.
- Ignoring optional equipment and assuming every vehicle has the same tweeter, center channel, or subwoofer layout; those components should be confirmed if equipped.
- Choosing replacement speakers without checking mounting depth, speaker size, and connector style at each location, especially for the front door, rear door, and any optional positions.
- Not testing each speaker before reassembly, which can leave wiring, balance, or channel issues hidden until everything is already back together.
Generation & Model Family
The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee belongs to the Fourth generation (WK2) (2011–2013) family. Nearby model years often share similar speaker locations and audio layouts, but exact fitment can vary by trim and audio package – verify before ordering.
Recommended Upgrade Path
The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a wide range of factory audio setups, so the best upgrade path depends on the trim and audio package. A smart plan starts with the most audible weak points in the cabin, then builds toward stronger output, fuller low-end response, and a cleaner factory-style finish.
| Goal | Best Upgrade Path | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Better clarity | Upgrade the front stage first, including the front door speakers and any factory tweeters if equipped. If the vehicle has the optional center channel or rear pillar tweeters, those can be evaluated after the front stage is improved. | Clarity comes from the speakers you hear most often. Strengthening the front stage usually gives the biggest improvement in vocals, detail, and overall balance. |
| More bass | If the vehicle has the factory subwoofer, verify how it is integrated before changing it, then consider an aftermarket subwoofer solution to add deeper low-end output. If equipped systems vary by trim, the bass upgrade should be matched to the existing audio package. | The factory low-end setup can differ by trim, so it is important to confirm the system layout before planning a bass upgrade. Adding a dedicated subwoofer is the most effective way to increase low-frequency impact. |
| Louder sound | Properly matched speakers and amplifier integration can improve volume and reduce distortion. Before adding aftermarket amplifiers, verify factory amp and premium system integration by trim and audio package so the new gear works correctly with the existing system. | Higher output only helps when the system is matched correctly. Careful integration keeps the sound clean while giving you more usable volume. |
| Budget improvement | Replace the most-used speakers first, starting with the front doors, using same-size replacement speakers with correct mounting brackets. | This approach gives the best return for the money because the front speakers carry most of the music content and have the biggest effect on daily listening. |
| Factory look | Use same-size replacement speakers with the correct mounting brackets and harness adapters for a clean install that preserves the factory wiring and appearance. | This keeps the cabin looking original while still improving sound quality. It is the best choice when you want a neat upgrade without changing the visual character of the vehicle. |
Mounting Adapters and Wiring
The same nominal diameter does not guarantee a direct mount. Before ordering, confirm:
- Speaker depth: Aftermarket speakers often have larger magnets – measure available depth at each location.
- Mounting brackets: Door locations typically need a bracket or spacer to clear the window regulator and achieve correct mounting depth.
- Wiring harness adapters: Use a plug-and-play harness adapter to preserve factory wiring.
- Tweeter mounting cups: Replacing OEM tweeters may require surface-mount cups or brackets depending on the location.
- Factory or premium amplified systems: If the vehicle has a premium or factory-amplified audio system, confirm how the factory radio, amplifier, and speakers are connected before adding aftermarket amplifiers. Depending on the setup, a line output converter, DSP, integration harness, or professional installation may be needed.
- Connector type: Factory connectors vary by trim and model year – confirm compatibility before splicing or using an adapter.
