Does anyone have a source for replacement speakers for the 914, or a measurement of the size of the OE units? My car had some mdf adapter plates made with small round speakers installed. I've searched and found photos, but no info on OE replacement or size. Thanks

You can kind of get a 4x6 speaker mounted in there. Back space is tight so most hi performance speakers wont fit. A small 4x6 plate speakers will fit, but not much bass from those since the drivers are really 3.5". I have been looking for a used 4" 2 way component set from Focal that uses a neodymium magnet for both drivers ($500+ new, but no longer made). This provides the mounting depth needed to fit. Adapter plates will still need to be made. I did find a raw driver that could work from Parts Express. You will need to source tweeter and crossover solution to complete.
http://www.parts-express.com/faitalpro-4fe...4-ohm--294-1120 914 rubber sells speaker pods that will accept up to 6.5" round speakers. http://shop.914rubber.com/Porsche-914-door...ht-914FG-SP.htm |
