I just bought a set of 3.5" Infinity Research speakers from Crutchfield
($34.95/set) and popped the old speakers out of the stock housings, bent the
mounting tabs in on the Infinity's and used a couple of drops of RTV to hold
the speaker to the grill. All of the wires plugged back in, they even had
the same size terminals as stock. They sound great,don't attract any
attention and don't block the window cranks.
