The guys may know of a good one to fit there. I gave up trying to get to the drivers side speaker without removing so much stuff. I now have them in the kick panels and they are much easier to get to. I have 4X6 in there now. You can also cut out the kick panels and get some larger round speakers in there. Good Luck, mike...

Nor did you specify radio. Whether you're running original or modern makes a difference as to what speakers you can use.

Default front speakers

I have a 79 and bought speakers from e-bay. They are Boss chaos extreme 4x6 3way. I got them for $23.oo. All I had to do way trim a little off the one side and they fit perfect.

I second ebay for buying speakers . I've bought several name brand speakers off there and they were always cheaper than other places. Never had a problem. In fact, I just received a pair of 5 1/8" Panasonic speakers today I bought from an ebay vendor for a Jeep. I wanted to find a size that would fit the existing grilles.

Could you give me the part number for those speakers? That ebay site has a lot of different speakers.

Thanks...Alex
