Did a search, the speakers listed were NLA, I know there's clearance issues with the big magnets of today's speakers.
Just wondering if anyone has done this lately and have a model number for a speaker that fits. I realize you have to trim to fit. The guy doesn't want pods, I asked, he wants something cheap that fits the stock housing. He just listens to news radio and baseball games. |

I second the minimus 7's! I don't think it's possible to get any proper bass from the stock pod without heavy equalisation...
I removed the pod covers and tucked in some heco legatos: triangular in shape, so fit nicely in the space and you can still pull the front bonnet lever... A bit higher quality than minimus 7s (debatably), and better shape - still need a bit of bass boost (though of the sort that any modern stereo can provide) but the power handling allows it.... https://archiwum.allegro.pl/oferta/kolumien...6926100578.html The small sealed metal enclosures reproduce voice with impressively low coloration: I listen happily to the radio at 70mph....I love these speakers and use then in a bedroom and tucked in front of the seats in my beetle... with a little focal amp that sits on the metal shelf behind where the radio would be, with no need for straps: https://www.focal.com/en/technical-support/...ifiers/fd-2-350 alex |

no way to ever get bass out of the factory speaker location no matter what is installed. There is an air hose right behind the speaker that absorbs any bass that may be made. By the configuration of the doors, Porsche planned for the 1977 914 to install speakers there.
To get bass, we remove the foam block at the right firewall and replace it with a custom made plywood plate and install a bass speaker. Works perfectly: http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-914-Spe...N-BAA31934.html It is easy to make and is hidden away for no one to see but everyone to hear! I second the minimus 7's!
