Subject:      Was:stereo Now Speaker size
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I know this has been discussed before regarding speaker size vs. minimal installation adjustments, but I am needing new speakers for 91GL, I put in http://www.jcwhitney.com/DUAL-200-WATT-AM-FM-CD-MP3-WMA-RECEIVER/GP_2011649_N_111+200004126+600002875+4294965622_10110.jcw . I know there was talk about clearance for the manual window crank, but mine doesn't even reach the speaker when I rotate it. My issue would be clearance between the door speaker and the side of the dash. Any thoughts on an EASY replacement option. Stereo is only 50W X 4, but PO speakers are a'cracklin and sounds like AM unless I set the LOUD button. Got a few bucks that SO is not aware of and would like to cruise and actually hear the jams. BTW-Will be replacing the rear ones on the A/C and would be cool if I could mount a couple of extra swivel type to face out when the hatch is up. Sorry for the hi-jack of the string.
