Replacement speaker for factory location 55.2 to 59

Hey guys, I have a new cab and the old speaker was not the original one because someone cut a hole in the roof of the cab to allow it to fit as seen in the picture below.
I am not going to cut a hole in my new cab, so am looking for a speaker that will fit behind the speaker box and the roof.
I found these https://www.ebay.ca/itm/PQN-Enterpri...taEATz&vxp=mtr that are 1" deep and are is just shallow enough to fit but for a few reasons, I am hesitant to buy. 1) too expensive 2) I don't need two of them.

I don't care even a tiny bit about how it sounds, it's a factory AM radio, and will seldom be turned on but I do want it to be functional.

Where and what speaker can I buy that is 5x7 (or 5" round) and will be no more than 1" deep to fit without cutting a hole in the roof?

I checked the 2.5x4" but there are others for you to look at..
They are for TV's flat screens so they are not that deep..

If you want to skip paying shipping,, hit your local recycle center that takes t.v.'s.. open up a few and grab the speakers..
price will be right.. free.. I have a set here from a 32" they are 2"x4" so two side by side would fill your place.. and be plenty loud enough..
