I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee with a Kenwood KDC-6001 receiver, an Alpine 3527S amplifier, two Bazooka 22" bass tubes in the back and two small 4" or 5" round speakers upfront whose identity I forgot. It an old system but I'm satisfied.

I just got a new (well, new to me) 2000 Jeep Cherokee and plan to sell the 1996 vehicle. Currently the 2000 Cherokee has the stock AMFM/CD/cassette unit along with (I assume) stock speakers.

Should I:

1. Take everything out of the 1996 Jeep and put it in the new one.

2. Take the Bazookas and the Alpine out, but leave the Kenwood.

3. Forget everything in the 1996 Jeep, keep the 2000 receiver, but get a new amp and new speakers.

4. Forget everything in both the 1996 and the 2000 Jeep and get all new everything.

Whatever I do, I am willing to spend about $500.

If you’re satisfied with what you have then I would say go ahead and go with option 1

Yea definitely keep everything if you were happy with the way it sounded in the 96 jeep. I'd hang on to any factory equipment you might remove from the 2000 jeep, just in case you ever wanted to put it back in.

Do you listen to tapes at all? Cuz if you replace the stock head unit in the 2000 with the Kenwood from the 96 jeep you'll lose the ability to play tapes. But assuming that's not important to you, I'd go ahead and move everything to the new jeep. Or at least for sure move the amp and the bazookas, but you'd probably want the kenwood in there as well.

One more question: is the system in the 2000 jeep the infinity system? or is it just a standard system?
