I replaced my u bolts with ones from fat bobs garage and within a month they rusted over horrible (they even had zinc coating). Im ready to replace them with procomp u bolts that are unfinished, should I prime then paint them?
I am going to out some nice polk audio speakers in all around (plus new wiring, amp, and subs) and want to know if 6.5" will work without much modding or if I should stick with 5.25". Need to go in front doors and rear soundbar. I will probably cut the panels too so you can see them.

If I run into any problems ill just make some speaker baffles. Should I put foam or anything around the speakers as deadening. I know that moisture has gotten to the front speakers before. What should I do to prevent this?

Depending on the speakers, the rear might either go right in no problem, or not want to fit all the way in the hole. My kickers fit right in the stock location in the rear, just had to use new screws. However the rockford fosgates didnt fully fit. Some say trim it and cut it and bla bla bla. Best thing to do for the rear if its (within an inch or so of fitting) is just get some wood screws to put them in first off, which i do recommend using whether they fit or not, and then just run each one in a little way and tighten them up all the way around until they go in. Easy as pie.

If you make baffles make sure they're gonna fit with the windows up and down. However every jeep gets mud and water in the doors some way or another. The back of my kickers were covered in mud and it didnt effect them. If your all that worried about it just get marine grade speakers for the front. They'll hold up to anything..
