I'm replacing the stock footwell speakers and thought the correct size replacement was 4x6. Well, as shown below, 4x6 speakers are a bit too small. I measure the opening to be about 4 5/8 x 7. Can I fit a 5x7 speaker in this space? It seems like I'll need a backer plate like the original.

Unless you need to keep the stock grills, check out our own morphenspectra's 6.5" speaker pods. They're the hot ticket in 914 audio. See the Vendors area for details.

another option is to replace the speaker panel, and you will be able to fit a 6.5 round speaker in....james produces them brand new for 75 bucks each
he is morphenspectra in resources and parts
got mine on order

i purchased little adaptors (metal brackets at a hardware store) to allow me to use the same size speakers you have fit my speaker boxes (cost $3.50).

Biggest prob. was that I was squishing that fragile tubing that sits behind the boxes, so beware!
