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. |

This is only a guess, but I would bet with the engine running and the car motoring down the road and a nice perf pattern in the vinyl, the difference will be minimal since your mids and tweets will be in the speaker boxes. Sound in a 914 is always going to be a compromise.
FYI, I mounted my 4x6 Infinity Kappas in the stock speaker boxes and hooked them up to a modern Blaupunkt Nurnberg head unit tonight just to see how it sounds. As expected, it sounds like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Or to put it another way, it probably sounds a lot like the original stereo systems installed in these cars in the 70s. Definitely need an amp and sub to make it palatable. I may add a pair of those foam baffles behind the Kappas to see if they help seal behind the speakers a little better to project more sound. |
