I'm running two round 5" Door speakers in the OEM location. Door cranks
drag on the speaker grills.
Two 8x10" Box speakers.

Two OEM 3.5" speakers in the Westy overhead box from a 180 Watt $100.00
Panisonic radio with casette deck.
It manages to rattle all of them ................. Buy a good radio and
cheap speakers, moisture is what kills the door speakers.
You will need four wires for your speakers, OEM setup only has three
wires.

Kept It Simple Myrond.
