PO had installed 6 x 9 speakers in the rear - they are the ones in the plastic box with cup holders that mount between fender and roll bar. In the front he had 6" centra pods mounted between the firewall and the shifter. I'm very glad he did it.
My CJ 7 has 6 x 9's in the rear in boxes that sit on top of the fenders. They are in the way at times, like when going on a trip and you need the space for gear. The front speakers are (I think) 5" speakers mounted in the dash.
The set up in the Scrambler gives much better sound. I think the difference is in the floor mounted front speakers. I would recommend the front floor speaker pods.

Good questions, There is another thread (same section) under consoles. I am looking at getting a new dash mane. I want to get rip of the OEM gauges. Then use 6.5 inch speakers in the front. I will be relocating the radio to a tuffy console.
Here is my question. With the plastic boxes, I think they are called wedges, can you recline after market seats.
Are there other boxes that might work better, or a sub box
Ideas?

I could recline the Bestop trail max seats when they were in the scrambler without hitting the boxes. It's dark and thunderstorming so i can't get pictures til tomorrow.
Quadratec and 4wd hardware both sell them, if you have a catalog. They are molded to fit around the roll bar with cup holders molded in the top. They don't stick out beyond the fender well.

Since my CJ is nearly a daily driver, and I park on campus without doors most of the time, I went cheap and practical.
For the dash, I bought a pair of 5.25" marine speakers made by Boss. They have grills you can remove, and like any dash speaker they go in easier when you have the dash off. You can do it with the dash on, but it's not very fun (at least the driver's side speaker).
For the rears, the PO had a set of 6x9s in cheap boxes set behind the seats. They're easy to direct the sound, look like hell and no punk in his right mind would want them. Why change a good thing? I bought a pair of 6x9" Boss marine speakers and threw 'em back there.
The sound is great from all sides, even while driving without a top or doors at 60mph (fast as she'll go). I spilled an entire cup of soda on one of the rears and it didn't even flinch. I'm sure they could handle the rain, but I try not to drive on those rare days we get rain here. I'm more worried about the cowl seal and the rain ruining my hard-to-find-these-days cassette deck.
All said and done, it was less than $100 for the four speakers.

The PO created these for the rear. I need to redo them as they are getting weathered. The front are stock dash speakers that rattle badly. I would like to create something like the center pod thing that sits under the center of the dash. Someday I guess.

Can't find the cord I need to download pictures 
Mine are the same ones for a CJ7. They fit without any problems.
My gas tank also had a card that said it wouldn't fit in a Scrambler. It's been in the Scrambler for going on 8 years.

I'm sure the reason the manuf (Vertically Driven Products) said their Sound Wedges wouldn't fit in a Scrambler is they assumed you were driving a stock Scrambler with the half hardtop and divider wall in place. Without those the wedges will fit fine.
