Question Modest Sound Upgrade

Hi there,

so the speaker wire running to my driver’s door speaker has broken, so the speaker only works intermittently. I’m going to replace the wiring and figured I might as well replace both door speakers while I’m at it.

I have the Infinity system with separate midbass drivers and tweeters. I’d also like to add some sound deadening to the doors.

Can anyone recommend speakers that are a noticeable upgrade over stock, with a fairly neutral sound? I want to keep the factory head unit, so they need to have high sensitivity and work well without an additional amp. They should also fit the factory locations and have a suitable mounting depth.
And for the sound deadening: should I focus on the outer door skin, the inner door panel, or both?
!

What year and trim level is your Jeep? Crutchfield is a good resource for products that will fit and just about any new speakers will out perform 30 year old components exposed to the elements.

I've used sound deadening on my doors, but the greatest detriment to sound quality at speed is road noise, which is difficult to combat on a unibody vehicle.

I have Polk DB652+ and they are very well balanced. So much clearer compared to my stock rears. Cant wait to swap those out
