I don't have any speaker grills in my door panels, and I really don't care about
originality (I think that the door panels are reproductions anyway) I'd at
least like
5.25" speakers. Has anyone had any experience? What about mounting them
somewhere else?
My B has no radio or speakers, and the local Warehouse Electronics said that
they would
have to do "something custom" (read: wallet smashing). Anyway, if someone is
going to
do something custom to my B, it's going to be me! I'd like to hear something
besides
the Monza exhaust....
