Default In Dash Speakers

I just put a new Alpine head unit in my '78, and I had bought a set of Infinity 4x6 speakers to replace the old stock dash speakers. Then when attempting to put them in, I realized that they are too deep to fit in the stock location.

I know good quality 4x6 speakers are few and far between, but does anyone know of a good one that will fit in the stock dash speaker location without any modifications?

thanks

I put polk 4x6 in my 79 dash w/6.5's in the rear sounds like a concert hall. take your old speaker to circuit city and match up the size w/a good name speaker.

I'll have to take a look at those. Do they have the main coil in the center or on the side? I think that was part of my problem with the Infinitys, the coil is on the side and caused clearance issues.

Good idea, I think I will take an old speaker to circuit city and compare them side by side.
