the speaker has 13 ohms?
what is the wattage?
anybody replaced those?
whats the best wattage and resistance(ohm) we can replace it with? still using the factory H/U and amp(if there is).
thanks for you input.

 

Sid, I have my Arc Audio tweeters in the dash location.

 

thanks!
I should have tested it first, lol! so the dash mounted spkr is a tweeter.
I work on a speaker co., I'll see if I can find a component spkr that would fit there from our sample.

 

I have just replaced the dash speakers with a pair of Memphis audio 4" speakers. These are 2-way speakers and fit just fine with a little modification of the speaker mounts (two out of the four mounts are used the other two need to be trimmed). This along with a previous replacement of the door speakers have made a huge difference in the sound quality with the stock headunit.

Just for your information

 

thanks for the tip,

 

Sid, 4 inch speakers will fit fine up front in the dash. I also have fibreglass kick panels that house the Arc Audio mids, and have 6.5 inch Ground Zero co-axials in my doors.

 

thanks, yeah but can't find any 4" in our old samples here(don't want to spend). I'll have to wait if we get something in.
since the grille is off, i decided to cover it with grille cloth.

 

where did you get those chrome rings for the vents?

 

the grill cloth looks sharp.

 

its just a 1/8" chrome stripping. didn't really end up well, i'm still looking for chrome 1/2 ring that will snap there nicely.

 

thanks, i don't like how the edge look, i might fill that in and redo the wrap.

 

ah thanks for the info

looks good by the way

 

Id take that cloth off the grille. Reminds me of an old crusty early 90s GM dash speaker... ugh [shudders]

 

yeah i'm not too much of a fan of grille cloth. but thats just me. and i smoke massive crack.
