I am re assembling my dash and forgot about the speaker. What size do I need and who makes one?
Is there any special bracket I need? This is the single speaker dash. I know my Satellite had a special bracket, but my mind has gone blank on this one...

I seem to remember them being an odd size, 4x10 I think.

Ebay would be your best bet.

No special bracket needed.

If your worried about originality

It is a 4 x 10. Originals show up on Ebay but usually need re-coning. Not a lot of great re-coners out there. There is no bracket used, it screws right to the dash frame. Crutchfield has brand new ones for sale. If you have an old time style electronic supply store around you (NOT Radio Shack) check them out. I bought one locally at Fistells in Denver. They had one more on the wall but that was a year ago.

I highly recomend the 4x10 from turnswitch.com .
It is available with a small magnet,like original, so there is no issue with clearance, and it's 8 ohm so it will not burn up your original radio like the 4 ohm replacement speakers will.

Thanks all. If the radio doesn't fire up, I'll be sending it to you for refurbishing Big Money Lewis. The one I bought supposedly works, but we will find out....

I made a plate and used two 3.5" JL Audio 8 ohm speakers wired for stereo. I think it souded alot better than the 4x10. A bit less bass but really clear.
