I have a 73 Charger and I am looking to be buying speakers for it soon. I am looking for what would drop in and not involve any cutting of the dash or rear deck.

I think the dash has that funky 4x10 which can be replaced with a plate to hold 2x2.5" round speakers. What about the rear deck?

Anyone sell these as a kit? They need only handle 45w RMS...not looking for a booming amp here...

6"x9" for the rears is a bolt in.

You can put a pair of 3-1/2" speakers in the single dash speaker hole. Are you sure you don't have speaker grilles off to each side?

I just bought a pair of Infinity Reference series 3032cf speakers for the Imperial.



The Imp had a pair of 3-1/2" speakers as well as a single 4x10 in the dash.

I also picked up a pair of Infinity Reference series 9632cf 6x9 speakers for the rear.

They're still in the boxes so I can't comment on how they sound.

Feets I have the 3032's in my Talon and they sound pretty freaking good just running off my Pioneer 50w x 4 deck.

One thing I didn't mention is the rubber surround for the cone. It will get in the way. The factory speaker mounts flush so I will need to drop the new speakers down using a spacer so the cone doesn't get squished against the speaker grille.

Any old 6x9's will fit in the back. For the front, I agree, the best is to run a pair of small speakers. They're not ideally located but they are easy to drop in the middle where that big single was.

I have 2 3.5 inch Polk Audio DB 351's up front with the adapter found in the new products section and a pair of 6x9 Polk DB 651's in rear. Great sound from these with the Retro Sound unit I have. My rear deck has a 6x9 and a smaller 5x8 opening, I used a spacer from an old 6x9 to lower the one side and it works perfectly.

Even if the hole is smaller, I think it still has the 6x9 bolt pattern. I don't remember having to drill any holes when I put a set of 6x9's in, tho I do remember one side having an odd shaped hole.

i had to drill holes on my 74....

there was a member that has some custom fiberglass inserts on the inner quarters in the trunk. wish i would have saved the pics.....

I used the Infinity Kappa 3.5" in front in the speaker bracket listed in the new deals section.
The speakers sound great for their size. Any 3.5" speaker is not going to have very good bass response. The rear speaker shelf should be able to use 6x9" speakers. In my convertible, I used 6.5" round speakers in the rear arm rest panels. With the top down, it was still hard to get good low bass, so I put an amp and sub in the trunk.

I can't speak to the fitment, but for the speakers on the rear deck try and come up with some sort of enclosure for the bottoms rather than leaving them open to the trunk. They'll sound on orders of magnitude better.

The dash one is 4X10, and you can get the dual speaker shaped like the original. There are a couple companies selling them (retrosound).
The back are 6x9.
No cutting involved.

another option for the dash:

Ok guys, I appreciate the feedback so far but now that I have restored the orignal rear speaker openings from where somebody had enlarged them years ago, I have decided what I am looking for.

I have two openings, one is a 6x9" and one is a 5x7". I'd like to put in two speakers that fit the openings (one from each set) and have them drop in from the top like factory. Thing is, seems most aftermarket speakers have the midrange/tweeter tower protruding out which would get squished by the backage tray. I want to use an OEM type tray without having to cut it...

It appears the Retrosound speakers are very dimension-conscious and would drop right in. However, they look almost wimpy and they aren't the cheapest...do they sound better than they look? Anybody here know of an other aftermarket brands that will top mount and fit the openings/package tray without any more mods than maybe drilling holes?

Any experience with the RetroSound brand?

Also if anybody here is in the same boat as me with a 71-74 B-body and wants to split two sets to get the speakers they need, I am willing to buy the two sets and half the cost for one of each :-)


Thanks in advance!!

Why don't you want to fasten a set of 6x9's from the bottom? With small bolts and lock nuts it's not like they're going to fall down.
