does anyone recone(restore)factory speakers.i have one i would like to get redone,and keep the factory plug ins.of corse after 30 years they have some rips and the material has become brittle.

I was just looking through a Year One cataloge last night and saw that they offer a rebuild service. There has to be a place that does it cheaper. I'm sure Year One is the middle man.

Most people seem to buy their factory replacement speakers from turnswitch.com. That is if you're using a factory radio. Aftermarket radio's would use different speaker ohms.

Most so called speaker restoration places plate/re-cone, but don't have the equipment to properly re-magnetize the magnet. Do you plan on listening to your radio? Big_Money_Lewis has more info on this stuff.

turnswitch fixed my radio and i bought their new replacement speakers for my Challenger.

the speakers are real nice. they are not an EXACT replacement. i have a 3 speaker dash so i got the 4x10 and the 2- 3 1/2" speakers. i had to trim the dash for the 4x10 and one of the 3 1/2", but after the new dash pad went on, you can't see it.

they did my radio for $192 with the shipping and i bought it for $220 with shipping. i have less than $500 into an e-body radio, which i think is great. a lot of members recommended them from reading the posts so i called and sent out my radio. i am very happy with their work.

when i got it back and installed it in the car, i connected a jump box to test it out and it sounded great. probably much better that it was out of the factory.

oh, and as for the factory connectors, i cliped the old leads and soldered them on to the new speakers

We Re-cone factory speakers $85 plus shipping.

thanks for all the input,just had my radio done by wards am/fm 72-b-body.front dash speaker has cracks.will look into the aftermarket and just put the factory pigtail on it.

I had mine done by a local guy who fixed car radios. He reconed it and rewired it for $30.

The Year One cataloge said $55

$38.95 new from turnswitch

For the money, I believe new speakers from turnswitch.com are the way to go.
I recomend them to my customers, and never heard any complaints.
