Dash speaker

[Mancar1]

I went ahead and ordered a 140 watt stereo dual voice coil speaker from Metro for the 68's dash. The only thing the dual voice means from what I read is that the cones are a little bigger. I am going to order the USA 630 vintage look stereo and CD changer from Custom Auto. Their price was better than Metro.
What I didn't like about Metro, and I told them about it. Is that they showed shipping as 0 until the order was accepted and placed. Then it showed shipping. Led me to believe that shipping was included even though that wasn't stated. I don't mind paying shipping, but tell me what it is. Do not be sneaky about it.
I have been bitching. Guess I was somewhat upset. Ahhhhh, I feel better now.
I told them via e-mail. Now for the phone call

So many folks doing stuff like this nowadays John. They must not sleep well at night though, (the CEO's that ok these less than honest policies).
I do remember a mounting "challenge" on my dash mounted speaker. Can't remember exactly what it was-but it was not normal. Maybe someone else can chime in here that's done one?

Thanks Jeff. Yes, anytime I mail order something I am always expecting to modify. When all works well I am really happy.

It seemed like the original "football" dash speak was just a little smaller than the 6" X 9" that I mounted?

Received my speaker yesterday, and it is a little smaller than the original. It will fit with a modification. Should be receiving the USA 630 stereo and CD changer any day now. Hope the radio fits as advertised.
When I make my wood door panels out of 3/4" stock I am going to add speakers in the doors.
Have my wood panel overhead cut out. Now to stain, coat it and install. Going to make a different wood console for the CD changer and drink holders to replace the one that has the 4 speakers in it.
One of these days I may tackle making one of the wood steering wheels, or maybe trying to trade my nice original one for a wooden one.
Now I know what a dual voice speaker is.

I actually spoke with a salesman at Custom Audio once about the replacement dash stereo speakers, he said that they have had so many calls about ill fitment, that he doesn't even recommend them anymore. I was disappointed because I was looking formard to getting one. I was actually looking at the dual speaker application rather than the dual cone version. Maybe by the time I get to order mine, they will have it straightened out.

I will check the fit either today or tomorrow and let you know how it goes. I put it side by side with my original and it appears that is is a smaller size.
