I recently replaced the speakers on my 79 B and had a few problems. First of
all I
believe the size is 4 or 4.5 inches. The problem came with finding a full-range
speaker that would fit in the door. It's not a question of how much space
there is
between the door panel and the door, but rather between the door panel and the
window mechanism, which is about 2 inches. There are plenty of mid-range
speakers
that would work, but they won't give you as good a sound. The trick is in the
grill. Find a grill that sits out a bit from the door panel and gives you extra
room to put in a thicker speaker with a bit larger magnet.
I also had to put new connections on the wires in the door, but thats easy
enough to do. Although I tried, I could not find a way to keep the original
grills
in the door, but if you do please tell me.
