Subject:      Door (upper) Speakers. Max Size? + More ?'s
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.

Searched the archives. Most posts dealt with swapping out the
*factory* size speakers with something similar. I have an '81 Westy.

The hacked up speakers in bottom of my doors are toast. The Blaupunkt
8 track will be replaced. (likely with this
http://tinyurl.com/mkohvp). I'll be curious to see just how well a
"SuperTuner IIID" works. That and the USB port are the main selling
features.

As for speakers, I need to hear the bass (what key are they in?) but
don't need "thumpa thumpa thumpa (rest) thumpa thumpa thumpa capable
speakers.  <grin>

I assume speaker depth, and grill height are crucial, but in general,
what is the maximum diameter speaker that can be installed in the
stock position? (Upper portion above/forward of window crank)

Anyone fit these 5.25" in w/o to much hassle?

Or these 4"?

Or would I be better off spending more on some Polk Audio quality 4"?
(can't seem to find a vendor for those up here in Vancouver B. C.
though)

I realize it's been discussed before, just couldn't find a definitive
answer as to maximum size and could use some real world opinions on
size and quality.

Thanks!

Neil.
