Title: 1973 Rear speaker
Post by: branded on November 05, 2022, 12:22:48 PM
I have a 1973 Charger SE with a defogger in the back and want to know what size speaker will fit on the other side?  A 6x9 just seems too big.  If it is a different size, where can I find one that fits?  Any help would be apprecated! :cheers:

5x8 is what I know, but somebody mentioned is actually 5x7? I fit a NOS one and never measured really

If you search for the correct one, the one used on dash for trucks is exactly the same one. That's how I found it cheap, instead trying to search for an B/E body. Sure I searched with the PN, that's how it floated on finding it was the same, which makes it get it A LOT cheaper, LOL.

Old thread, but this might help others.....

Adaptors are made so you can use different sized speakers & will give you many other options, some with much better sound quality.
