What do buy for a standard dash speaker?
I just scored an AM/FM unit for my '71 GMC and would like to replace the speaker when I install it. I'm pretty sound system illiterate and am not looking for anything exotic. I just want an OEM replacement speaker. What should I be looking for? I don't even know where to start.

You can get original ones reconed for around $50 or there is a company that sells repo ones that are dead on for about $65 I think. I will try to find the site.

Re: What do buy for a standard dash speaker?
I like going to audio shop's when I have a bad speaker. I ask them if they have any used speakers from installs that fit whatever I am looking for. Usually get a great deal since it is probably going to end up in the trash anyway.

Re: What do buy for a standard dash speaker?
I usually go to Radio Shack.They usually have as good a speaker as anyone and the price and availability is good.

Re: What do buy for a standard dash speaker?
I have some 4x10 Kickers (BNIB) if anyone is interested. Kicker is pretty much the only popular brand that makes them still.

Re: What do buy for a standard dash speaker?
Do you still have the original speaker mount? I seen some on the board here for sale not to long ago. Take a few pics when u get it done and installed. Score on the radio!
