Default 1972 speakers
I have a 72 convertible, what are the largest speakers I can fit in the kick panels, and what size speakers are in the dash, is there a quality replacement.

I haven't tried it myself, but I believe that 5" x 7" speakers can be made to fit. The 4x6 speakers I installed have a lot of room left.

I'm curious as well. Can you post pics of the 4x6's installation?

Thanks
Chris

5.25 are probably the best size for the kick panels. Some 5.25 can be fitted w/o cutting. A mounting or back plate needs to be done.
Some use the dash location for tweeters.

Kenwood eXcelon components in kick panels.
