Front speakers/74 Vette
Can anyone recommend ,some good quality speakers for the dash of a 74 Vette. Last owner put in a Kenwood radio, but I believe , haven't remove old ones. Are the original, not much power. Thanks for any reply. :-)

try this site if you want to maintain the originality of the car. They do offer upgraded speakers and even upgraded radios in the original package.

Original Speakers 10-ohm
I too changed out to a current Kenwood, but I also got new speakers to match. The hole pattern match, but the issue is that the new speakers have a tweeter in the middle. So the "X" member where the speaker mounts needs to be cut out.
See the attached photos. (Sorry the last one is sideways, a Forum glitch.)

I used some Pioneer 4x6's, (no pic, sorry), and they mounted up fine. I also found some sacrificial kick panels for $30 that I put these Kicker 6.5"s in.. I have a set of 6x9's in the back, and it actually sounds pretty good! Loud enough to rock out on the highway with the tops off!
