Hello everyone... I have a 2005 Jaguar XKR Coupe with the Alpine system that sucks....I want to change the speakers first to see if that helps fix the problem but the only speakers that are marked is the 3.5" in the dash that I assume run off the doors since they have a basic Red and Black wire that is marked + & - on the speaker. I can not find info anywhere as to the speaker wires on the other speakers and 8" sub in the back deck.

Any info will be a huge help as to goog replacement speakers to for the factory power...

 

Yah, those in the dash are the easiest to get to, and idiotproof to replace. I also assume you have the little alpine supertweets in the a-pillars on the doors? If so, you have a three-piece system in the front, but you will only be able to purchase 2-piece component sets of aftermarket speakers to drop in there. That's ok, i've done the work for you. Best place for the tweeters to be installed is in the dash openings. I had them in the doors for my first attempt, and they are too directional. The dash allows some of the frequencies to overlap and blend better as you listen to them.

Lower in the doors are 6.5". As for brands, lots of people recommend the infiinity reference series, MB Quart brand, or my personal favorite - Polk Audio (the MM series specifically, don't get the DB series if you look).

I can give you the color chart for the 2003s, but no guarantee it will be the same. Here ya go.
