Can anyone give me an idea of how the dash speaker mounts? I think there is some piece
missing? I tried a 6 x 9 speaker, but it just fell through the opening.
And any thoughts on a good replacment speaker, should I go for say 40 watt speaker
Best

I think your best option os t make a 6X9 work. Seams to be the OEM speaker was some what custom for the application and I don't believe there is anything out there as a direct replacement.

The original dash speaker is football shaped. I made a template out of the side of a pepsi box, then I cut it out of some wainscoating panel I had leftover.
Then I put in some smaller round Pioneer speakers I got at Walmart. I think they were either 4 1/2" round, or 5" round. It all fit nicely.
Id like a good idea for some material that would hold up to the sun on the rear package tray. I bought some 6 x 9 speaker grills with the musical note inside them for the look.

thanks for the info...
I'll just cut out some metal to fit the opening, then cut it out for the speaker...
not to hard.
