sendo Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 just bought a stereo dash pad and want to add some speaker, what is the best size and brand will fit in there? thanks, Sendo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I got the ones from Retro Sound. They fit pretty good, especially because the Dakota Digital dash takes up a little more room on the driver side than the original one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I have the Custom AutoSound 740 head unit, which I use to drive these speakers, and the rest of the speakers go thru a dedicated amplifier. The specs for that radio say 45 watts output per speaker into a 4 ohm load. They don't sound bad, have pretty good mids & highs. Not really a lot of bass, but that's to be expected from something this small. Realistically, there aren't too many options. Some guys get OEM speakers re-coned, but I doubt they'd sound better than these. If I had to do it over again, I'd still get these. I looked at a number of speakers prior to getting these, but no matter what I searched for, they would have been a problem on the driver side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yes. I was just looking them up, lol. I got them from Amazon at the time for $89.99, but it looks like Crutchfield now has them cheaper, plus it looks like free shipping too. Summit has them for the same price as Crutchfield, if you can get over the free shipping threshold by ordering other things you may need. I looked at Pioneer, Polk, Kicker, Kenwood, plus anything else at the time. The magnets on those were just too large, especially with the D/D dash. Look at the pictures they have, you'll see the difference in construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
