Re[2]: Speakers 6x9 or Round????

        Ed, Matt, Everyone,

        Just a quick note - if you're going to add a roll-bar, make sure you're 
set with your speakers first.  It seems that shortly after adding my bar, my 
speakers decided that they wanted to start rattling.  To replace them, I'll have
to remove the roll bar, as it's right in the way.  I've actually been thinking 
about mounting new ones to the roll-bar, but I just haven't thought about it too
much yet.

On my 1980 the rear speakers are factory mounted behind the doors on the 
sides. They are 5 1/4" and the middle of the speaker lines up about the e 
prices in the current Crutchfield flyer are a bit confusing JBL GTO502 (5 
1/4) $79.99, GTO602 (6 1/2) $69.99, GTO962 (6x9) $69.99 ??? They also 
list wedge style boxes, hmmm boxed 6x9's mounted higher between the roll 
bars on the side.... Generally the larger spkr sizes have wider frequency 
response and handle more input power. Best of luck with the interior 
refurbish and sound deadening
