74sport's speaker bracket B-body - 07/16/12 10:00 PM
i sent an e-mail to 74sport to see what kind of speakers are getting used in these brackets. he didn't seem to know as he hadn't received much feedback. sooooo, 1969 B-body no A/C - what's fitting without mod's?

Of the six brackets I sold for '69 Road Runners, the only reply I received from one of the buyers indicated he used Polk Audio DXI 350 speakers. He didn't mention if the car had A/C or not. I have also sold five other brackets for '68 and '70 Road Runners, but I don't know B-bodies well enough to know if they have the same dash configuration as the '69s. I have to leave that discussion to you folks.

well i'll answer my own question - turns out i didn't need the mounting bracket. years ago i had mounted some simply awful Tandy 3.5 speakers in the housing that holds the original 4x10 speaker. afer reseaching newer speakers and not wanting to spend a fortune on something i might not be able to hear anyway, i bought these- Boss SE322 CHAOS 3.5-Inch 140 Watt 2-Way Speaker on Amazon for the tidy sum of $11. the good news is they fit! it's tight around the heater cables but with a little finagling they work. even better news is they sound really good at least to my ear. i matched them up with the Boss 6x9 for the rear after chasing out the mouse (how???) and got a Pioneer head unit and WOW - i'm BUMPIN'! now to figure out how to mount the unit in my stock dash without wrecking/drilling!
