Re: blown subwoofer
Hi Zippyjim,
I recently replaced my head unit. There are many posts on it, but I think the preferred is a marine Kenwood with a color adjustable back light (don't have the model number handy, sorry). There are pictures on here and it looks really good and matches very well. I would have gone with it, but I wanted an SD card reader, I ended up with a Blaupunkt cd-less model that had a SD card behind the face. The Blapunkt head units are a direct plug in, except for the antenna cable (if I remember correctly), which was a great selling point for me.
Thanks for the info on the woofer repair. I think another member has given a step by step guide if you wanted to repair these yourself as well.

Re: blown subwoofer
Excellent, thank you!
My driver side rear speaker died recently as well (torn foam around edge). Combination of Texas heat and music too loud I assume.
I bought some cheap "Kicker" standard speakers and stuck them in there. Everything is the wrong specs, single coil, 4 ohm. But they actually sound alright - I was able to turn my bass up and my treble down a little. It is worth noting that I have done the "best bang for your buck speaker modification". We will see - I didn't realize new OEM was only $45 or I think I would have just bought one new one as my passenger side upon removal looked fine.
SPEAKER. Left. Sub Woofer. Woofer. Speakers, Amplifier, and Related Items made by Mopar. #05102804AA
Left - 05102804AA
Right - 05102806AA
Item 2: I am not the right one to be telling you this (obviously from the last paragraph I don't know what I am talking about). But from my research prior to changing them, these should be dual voice coil, 2 ohms, sub woofer and be designed for "open air". Oh yes, and the housing can accommodate a 2.75-3" depth as long as the magnet is not too wide.
I personally could not find many options. I found several component speakers that may have worked, but once again, if I had known you could buy the speaker new for $45 I would have probably done that - and might still.
Last item; if you need the passenger side, it is listed at over $200. Just buy the driver side and use your old housing, it is the same speaker.
Good luck! There are picture by picture instructions on removing the rear speakers somewhere on here. People have mentioned to remove the seat if you want more room, I did not have issues getting to them with the seats forward.
