Here is a pic of mine.
Thanks for the picture! My glove box and radio panels are out, so I wanted to install the new speaker now. And I don't have to ask, it sounds like something that would happen to me!

Thanks,

Yep, saw that. I thought he might have bought it from a vendor.

Yep, saw that. I thought he might have bought it from a different vendor, like Eckler's or Corvette America.

This might be a better view of the speaker information you want for an original radio. Nice folks to work with and an excellent product.

Thanks for my morning laugh.....I thought I was the only one that did that sort of stuff....if you think an original speaker is bad then the 140W aftermarket Custom Autosound will give you fits. Its huge magnet clamps onto the metal Z-bar like its welded...
