What 3.5" speakers are compatible

Good morning NAM people! I will be upgrading speakers soon in my 09 JCW and have hit a wall with the choices of 3.5" speakers. Most I have looked at are 2-way and the tweeter portion of each speaker rises too high above the main speaker which would prevent plug and play installation without a modification of some sort. The Boston Acoustic S-35 seems to have the lowest profile, at least from the pictures I've looked at. Anyone know if these will fit. If not, any other options (other than the cheap Kenwood) would be appreciated. This is my first post on the site. Thanks to you all for providing such a great source of info!

Welcome and congrats on getting your JCW.

As for speakers recommendations there are many. The first place to check is the sticky thread at the top of this section of the forum titled R56 Speaker Replacement How to:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...nt-how-to.html

There are links to other discussion in that thread with even more suggestions. This thread will aply to R56, R55 and for the fronts doors of the new R57.
