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.
