I was curious as to what everyone recommends for stereo speakers that sound OK, fit & are concours acceptable? All thoughts welcome & being an audio engineer I'm sorry to tell everyone that speakers deteriorate over time just like tires & seals (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . This is happening to your home speakers as well & is unfortunately normal. Anyway, what's good, fits & will pass judging (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ?

Yes, non radio equiped cars came w/ speaker enclosures & they do hide the huge heating tubes. I don't remember there being any "blanks". I have installed/changed the stereo twice now in 33 yrs. If you look at my enclosures you'd never know I have adapters in there. You would however know that I have the smallest coax speakers Blaupunkt made 4 years ago that kind of fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif). Pat I understand your fear of drilling & think you would have loved my Dad. He did it, on the left fender, perfect size, no chipping (taped over), calm, steady, fearless & flawless. I was 12 & freaking out... I'd never seen anyone take a drill up to a car at that point in my life (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . He took out a bottle of touch up paint & covered the raw edge, let it dry & it never rusted there, ever! Installed the antenna & voila, radio. Oh yeah, human beings do make adequate FM antennas.

OK, Pat, I guessed wrong about the antenna. What is your removable secret?
